Just shopping for mags and wonder with all the brands , do they have to say " fits lar 15 pistol " 's vs just saying 5.56 . in case one is ever challenged on the 10 Rd capacity? thanks

They'll say it in some fashion or another that they're specifically pistol mags or LAR-15 mags. The crimped 10/30's are the ones to especially make sure are properly labelled as they caught a lot of attention recently.
 
If it was simply a label put on a reg 223/556 magazine that allowed you to pin them legally at higher capacity, everyone would be doing it.

Says "LAR-15 Pistol Magazine" and a "caliber 10 rounds capacity". So there is no second guessing by police when they see them.

I also put transparent nail polish over the lettering as it tends to fade away. And without those letters it's an AR mag.

IMO, 10/30s are in the grey area, i.e. they are legal till next RCMP bulletin classifies them as rifle mags.
 
Yes, they all have to be labelled at the factory to reference the manufacturer and pistol model name ie. "RRA LAR-15 pistol" or "RA XCR model Pistol"
 
Yes, absolutely. Otherwise it's just a 10 round center fire magazine being used in a rifle with no distinguishing marks between it, and an actual pistol mag. The markings indicating they are pistol mags also have to be done by the manufacturer, and sold as what it is.
 
Without the label these magazines are a menacing evil that threatens to tear the very fibers of our fragile society to shreds in an armageddon of mass public violence, and are therefore illegal.

To be specific, they don't necessarily have to say LAR pistol. Simply saying PISTOL mag should suffice, but since the RCMP only recognize the LAR as being a designated pistol built on an AR platform, having them say LAR pistol increases the odds the RCMP will deem them legal.

The ATRS mags are also built for a recognized pistol - if you can find them used.

Not just LAR pistol mags, but pistol mags for any pistol sold in Canada that also fit rifles.

Bill Etter's 'ruling' (when referring to the Rock River Arms Model LAR-15 magazines) included:

These particular designs are approved for use as "handgun magazines for a handgun commonly available in Canada"
 
The main issue with pistol mags
Is YOU .have to be able to prove that the magazine was made by the MFG as a pistol mag as per canadian laws . NOT a rifle mag pinned 5o 10 rds
This is why there is an approved list of manufacturers that are imported.
CBSA crushes mags evey week that are imported that arwxnit pistol mags

What about an LAR 15 pinned to 5 rounds for hunting? Is that kosher? Can anyone put a rivet in a mag?

Don't confuse federal law with provincial.
Ontario hunting regulations specify 2+1 for shotguns but defer to federal law for rifle capacity, while mentioning "usually 5".
Don't forget that a lot of hunters take deer with 10 round capacity Lee Enfields.

Hence my comment "for any pistol sold in Canada" ;)
