We just wanted to give a heads up. We have another shipment of Ruger BX25 & Ruger Factory Mini 14 & Mini 30 20/5 & 30/5 mags arriving soon.
We sold out so fast last time we thought we would do a preorder notification for anyone interested.
Drop a line to hical@shaw.ca & we will notify you when they arrive, no deposit needed on our preorder.
If you have already preordered with us, don't worry, you will be first in line!

Bx25 have to be, as they are marketed/packaged for both the charger and 10/22. It's the other ones, butler creek ect that are in limbo, as they were designed before the charger existed.

Yeah I'm sure they are considering that the BX25 kicked off this whole display of RCMP abuse of power and incompetence.
If I'm not mistaken this was an opinion letter sent by an RCMP anti-firearms lab tech, not a new law or the direct banning on these mags.
 
Wait what?? This is not an actual law?? I got rid of 3 new 25 round butler creek mags cuz I didn’t want the things pinned to 10

It is NOT law. An RCMP lab tech discovered that they inadvertently approved a pistol version of the 10/22 (the Charger) without thinking for 5 seconds and realizing that they can be used with extended mags. So instead of taking responsibility for their mistake they recommended the banning of all extended mags for the 10/22 and instructed gun stores to stop selling the mags in stores. Not sure what section of the Firearm Act gave them this power though but that has never stopped the RCMP.

Even their opinion letter clearly states that officers should not seize the mags nor arrest people that possess them as a stand alone charge. They can only direct people to have them pinned. That doesnt sound like a law to me.

IT DOES however provide officers arrest powers for people that unpin a pinned high capacity 10/22 mag. So take that for what its worth.

Thats not quite accurate and it does sound like you are the one who hasn't taken the time to read and understand the law, probably like most of the people who don't understand whats going on with the 10/22 issue.

The law states that a magazine is prohibited if :

it is capable of containing more than 10 cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed and is designed or manufactured for use in a semi-automatic handgun that is commonly available in Canada.

This in fact asks two questions :

1- Is the Ruger 10/22 25-round mag capable of containing more than 10 cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed?
The answer is YES, it is capable of containing 25 cartridges

and

2- Is it designed OR MANUFACTURED for use in a semi-automatic handgun commonly available in Canada?
The answer is YES, it is (also) manufactured for use in the pistol version of the 10/22 that is commonly available in Canada

answering yes to both these questions means the magazine is in fact prohibited.
Objectively, its not the RCMP's fault, but rather the manufacturer's fault for releasing a pistol version of the rimfire rifle that uses the same mags.

Clearer?

Youza.

The butler creek 25 round mags where designed for the ruger 10/22 long before the charger pistol was even thought of. End of story

Not end of story.

The standard set out by the regulations isn't strictly about "design". It also says "OR MANUFACTURED FOR".
It might be convenient for your stance to ignore specific words that are black on white in the law, but it doesn't make you right.

Is the Charger "commonly" available? I have never seen one for sale. Let's be realistic here. There is simply not a handgun in Canada that is commonly available that accepts 10/22 25 rnd mags.

They are not illegal at 25 rounds.....RCMP "opinion" is not LAW

The Bx25 is illegal at 25rds. They were designed AFTER the charger came to market, and are both designed and manufactured for use in both the 1022 and charger. There is no grey area on the Bx25 magazines.

There is grey area on the butler creek ones though. They were designed long before the charger came to market.
