hes probably full of it ^^ the bs on these spreads like wild fire. ive never heard of a for sure delivery or if even a sample gun is at the rcmp. north sylvia really hasnt told us much
 
curious, is it legal to take a LAR15 handgun mag, 10rd, in the woods hunting with a non restricted .223?


is the mag itself considered "restricted" and only usable at gun clubs?

It's still non restricted but provincial hunting laws dictate how many rounds you can take hunting. I believe all provinces are 5 rounds for hunting though

Nope. Only Alberta has a limit of 5 for semi-auto rifles. No limits in Ontario or BC for sure. There are limits on shotguns when hunting migratory birds.

Im worred about the classification of the mag, as a restricted device. (if it were 11 rds it would be a prohibited device)

im not sure where the laws cross over here

This version of the Type97 was made for Canada specifically, so If the mag is more than 5 rnds it would be a fatal flaw from the manufacturer.

A fatal flaw from the manufacturer? Seriously? So before a PMAG is pinned it is flawed? Norinco is making the gun, not the aftermarket mags.

Pistol mags and pistol mags. Limited to ten.
Center fire rifle mags at ten.

What they fit in beyond what they were originally made for makes no difference. They don't change the classification of the gun and if a pistol mag fits in a rifle and works its all good.

Go search CGN if that isn't clear enough. The number of threads on magazine classifications alone could have its own sub forum.

Let's keep this on the Type 97 and the FRT.
 
LOL @ the mag issue...as long as mags are pinned...and dealers can do it...we are okay. The manufacturer does not have to do anything with it...no FATAL FLAW to cry about.

Settle down buds,...
, Pls re-read the post, I tried to explain to the poster that it would suck if the rifle indeed came to Canada with a 11 round mag,as I am sure it wouldn't ie "fatal flaw". No need to harness the almighty forum rage, and go off...lol Also I am not the one who started on about mag restrictions, I was simply answering another persons post. Some of you guys need to chill the fawk out...

Threads like these wind me up a lot less since I bought an RFB. Still, I can't wait for a T97
