Hunting with an evil, baby-eating black rifle

INCORRECT AGAIN, Unless you are referring to hunting regs. Pistol mags that fit in rifles are perfectly legal to use in the rifle. Enough already.
No it's not. Is it?
I want a high cap (10) mag to maximize the coyote body count - I have an old couch that I want to re-upholster if you know what I mean
Well your statement about maximize body count is pretty silly, and your use for the coyote hides also, so I hope your are kidding. and 10 rounds is NOT high capacity. It is the normal capacity of THAT mag. Also 30 rounders are NOT high capacity, they are normal capacity. The ODD magazine identification needs to be on and stick with the neutered 5 round ones that are forced upon some semi's.
EXACTLY
well I hope it had rabies, or otherwise was a SEVERE problem causing REAL damage, otherwise there is NO reason to shoot a cat. I personally would never kill anything I don't intend to eat. But.. if you eat the cat, well...
And it appears it will need to be explained OVER & OVER again.
This is quite a hijack, but the whole magazine issue just became more clear to me, so I am posting - feel free to move this to another section if you feel it is more appropriate there.
Thank you for that excellent link acrashb, I had not seen it before. Unfortunately, most of the 1700 odd words on that page only justify that their magazine is a legal 10 round pistol magazine. Nobody doubts that - I think where most people get hung up (including myself) is that it has not been made clear that it is ok to use a pistol magazine in a rifle. There was one section on that link that did make this clear though:
Since Canadian law does not re-classify a magazine (or change its' legal capacity) from it's original classification simply because you put it into a firearm other than the gun it was originally manufactured to be used in, you are free to use the magazine in any firearm that you wish at the stated legal capacity...
...One is classified as a "Pistol Magazines" having a legal capacity of 10 rounds while the other is classified as a "Rifle Magazine" having a legal capacity of 5 rounds... nearly identical magazines but with two different classifications and two different legal capacities... neither of which are based on what gun they are used in, but rather what gun they were designed and manufactured for.
Previously posted on CFC's Website and as stated officially by RCMP: "The classification of a firearm magazine depends on the type of firearm the magazine was designed to be used in, not the type of firearm it is actually used in."
Once more "The classification of a firearm magazine depends on the type of firearm the magazine was designed to be used in, not the type of firearm it is actually used in." I am sure Questar has the quote accurate, unfortunately they did not provide a link to where this statement is made on the CFC website or the official RCMP statement.
I am now a beleiver, but before I use one of these mags in public I want to have a printed copy of one of these statements that I can carry around in the event I need backing to convince an officer who is trying to seize my rifle. We all know that just because something is technically legal does not mean an officer can't be technically wrong. And if an officer didn't believe my word on it I couldn't blame them, after all it has taken a lot of work to convince plenty of CGN's. So if anyone can help me out with tracking down the location of that quote... it would be appreciated!
And for something on topic... My JAE M14 with 5/20 mag is now my primary hunting rifle. And if I ever have an opportunity to buy a TAVOR it will be my primary coyote and gopher gun - well that and the .338 AI Lapua

It's been made abundantly clear for years - you just haven't been in the loop. Pistol mags are used in rifles all the time - Storm, PC9, and now AR-15.
If you want more, google "Former Cartridge Magazine Control Regulations" and put the printout in your pocket along with the Questar thing. Most police are reasonable even if not informed.
Your main concern should be hunting regulations, if any are applicable to your circumstances.
Bunch oh whiners over there at Oodmag. Bunch of whiners they are. You could almost mistake them for Liberal
Thanks, that was the word I was looking for. It was on the tip of my tongue, just couldn't get it out.
Where I hunt, they always show up in 3's and 4's, and they hightail it after the 1st shot. I want them all, not just 1 or 2. That, my friend, is the challenge.
And yes, I am going to upholster a couch in coyote fur. I am going to use one coyote for each armrest and leave the head on - get the picture? It will look great in the cottage. I turn the meat into dog food, so nothing is wasted. I still need a couple of sq. ft, will post pics when I am done.
There are plenty of reasons to shoot cats. My small town has a problem with stray cats, a very large problem. They are especially prolific at the town dump.
I've been hired from time to time by both the town and private citizens to remove problem cats. Town bylaw is any cat without tags will be destroyed.
That's a good bylaw, I wish my city had one like that. Instead we need permits to cut down our own trees.
Touch my cat... and you will face all kind of funny shotgun loads... salt, rubber, etc.
Heh around here in the new area of town there were lots of cats to begin with. Then suddenly I noticed alot of coyotes in the area. Then no more kitties. I almost prefer the coyotes to the cats cause once there were no more cats then there were no more coyotes either.
Then don't let it run free and put tags on it. Problem solved!
You have to understand just how bad the stray cat problem is here. You can't put garbage out unless its in a can with a locking lid. In the winter time, running vehicles will be piled full of cuts under them keeping warm. There are, well were, cats everywhere.

You forgot airsoft loads in the 12 guage shell.
It would be technically an airsoft game right ?
No need for batteries to recharge just reload airsoft shells.
Wrong on so many levels.
The AR15 is restricted, ALWAYS. AR15 magazines are limited to 5 rounds, ALWAYS.
LAR15 pistol magazines hold 10 rounds. The also fit in the AR15.
That's funny, when I saw 'cats' - I thought of something bigger and snarlier (out here we call Cougars 'cats') and if the Coyote is on the pest list, why not shoot as many as you can - they are PESTS after all. Finally, to really blow you mind on the magazine thing, if you could get a 9mm Beretta Storm carbine to reliably feed from Beretta 96 magazines (marked 40 S&W) and that 40 cal mag would hold 12 rounds of 9mm, you could use it stoked to 12 rounds, and it would be legal. Welcome to the joys of rules written by morons 
then throw a non-restricted bbl on there and rock out

I want to see a picture of this couch once it's finished! It sounds epic!
