Is it pinned to five or does it fall under the historic firearms thing?

Did a search for sks mag limit five rounds, wanna guess how many threads came up?
 
It is pinned to 5 rounds.

Different pinning methods, and more opinions on the topic than a$$holes.

Overall, a sad state of affairs that we can't enjoy a full, and measly 10-round magazine in this country.

a few firearms are exempt from mag cap limit because of their historical importance. the M1 Garand is one as is the Enfield. The SKS is not and must be limited to 5
 
Limited to 5. The ###est part is loading 5 rounds off of a 10 round stripper clip. After you load in the first 5, you have to use your fingers to grab the 6th round and pull it so it stays on the stripper clip when you remove it.

Why would Enfield Magazines be exempted? It's a bolt action, so no limit.

Supposedly refers to some semi automatic Enfield rifle that may have taken the same mag as a bolt enfield. This subject has been beaten to death in the legalese section.

The Garand has no historical significance in Canada (to the CFC ghouls, anyway). It was allowed a full 8 because it is impractical to limit it to 5 rounds without butchering the basic firearm. The Enfield is exempted because of the experimental full auto versions, as mentioned. I don't think there is any relief applied to historical firearms in the FA, it is based on technical issues/features.

There are several historical magaziness that have exemptions under the prohibited devices category. Mags for the Charlton Rifle(the automatic enfield rifle mentioned) was not experiemental, it was issued to field soldiers. The british Farquhar-Hill Rifle, the Huot Rifle which was a Canadian Ross rifler converted to automatic. The odd part of the law is Enfield mags are limited to 10, yet it specifically says that Charlton Rifle mags are not subject to any limits. The charlton was a modified Enfield so that law seems like a strange contradiction. May have something to do with the fact that the Charlton's used modified Bren LMG mags. Original drums for Lewis, Vickers, Bren, German MG are all not subject to limitations. There are a few other oddball mags specifically exempted from limitations.

the Garand is listed under the historical part, it doesnt matter what significance it has to Canada. lots of other firearms are butchered as per Canadian law. thats good enough for me, I'm happy to fire 8 rounds through mine. and yup, there were a few automatic .303s which years later makes AIA mags legal for M14s. Its a good part of the FA...if there is such a thing
