Yes I would agree with you there it is.
If you have a mag that is not working and your intent is to clean it and rerivet it then do so all at once. Do not unrivet the mag clean and reassemble without immediately riveting it back they way it was. If you are just popping the rivet to see how things work or whatever other reason then you are not thinking clearly as you have no intent to putting it back as a pinned mag. Magazine parts and an assembled magazine is the grey area but it is not one to be taken lightly for a second.

Not any longer... Pretty clear. Unpinned mag bodies meet the definition of "prohibited device"
We can now all sleep more peacefully.

The thing i Don't get is how a provincial court rules over the whole country. Bill 68 needs to be scraped too save us from all this stupidity!
That case is odd...did you see this:
[33]...However, read in context and with the reference to section 84(1) of the Code, it is clear that the phrase “components and parts” relates only to weapons, and not to accessories or cartridge magazines.
[34] In any event, I conclude that the magazine shells imported by Mr. Cancade were prohibited devices,...
Is it just me that she says the mag parts shouldn't be considered prohibited by definition...but then basically says "I don't care...I'm calling them prohibited"?

The spring is what really determines the ammo count!
But yeah, I'm no legal expert, there just #######s. It is more political than anything! We should fight this ruling in court regardless.
Wow, what a terrible ruling. Glad that I read it, though.
Was looking to get an LMT fixed front sight for my XCR, found a site that ships to Canada, and also noticed that they sold pmags. Asked if he could ship them to Canada, because I was pretty certain that he wasn't. Buddy said yes, and I thought 'great, i'll pin them when they arrive and i'll be set at the range.' Not so much, eh?
Messaged him to cancel the order. Hopefully i'm in time...! Otherwise, might be for my own legal expenses that i'm asking for donations..!

The CBSA changed the ruling without telling a anyone, there has been a lot of cases already of people getting stopped not knowing about this. There is no real good reason for this, the CBSA is just run by a bunch of commies!
