LEGAL 10 round SKS with detachable mag...accomplished!..

Yes, the law is very clear on this point and you have it wrong. Magazines designed for use in centerfire semi-auto long guns have a capacity limit of 5 rounds. Magazines designed for use in handguns (centerfire or rimfire) have a capacity limit of 10 rounds. What the magazine is actually used in is irrelevant. OP is using a pistol mag in his SKS, which means the 10 round capacity is perfectly legal.
This has been beaten to death and then some, how people cannot grasp a fairly simple fact that has been well explained by the RCMP is beyond me.

I have 10rd mags for Rem.7600's and I own Rem.750's. One gun is gas, one is a pump gun, same receivers, (pretty much same guns) same mags. I know how it turns out when I put a 10rd mag for the 7600 in my 750, and it's not in the gun owners favor. I'm sure my local gun range would welcome me dumping 10rd 30-06 down range as well. Until the SHTF I'll suffer with 5 rds, as I don't like dealing with police over pissy laws that gun owners never totally win out on.
You mean #72 Section 3

#75 is to do with flare guns

Yep - Since they use the same receivers and are essentially variants on the same design, the RCMP rule that the magazine was made to be interchangeable on design so it's a semi auto mag.
In this case, the SKS was never made to take these mags when it was made, and the XCR pistol mags were only ever designed for the XCR pistol. Because of this, after the fact alterations to the SKS to accept unaltered XCR mags is fine. Bulletin 72 is a good read, very enlightening. In fact, I'd suggest getting it in hard copies and PDF saved elsewhere as I suspect the RCMP are going to reverse their sentiment eventually as they have done in the past on various other interpretations on the law when it didn't suit them.

Actually no the mags are different, mags for 7600 have no auto bolt close button on the side of the mag like those built for the semi-auto's. So technically speaking they are both designed for the two different guns.
Your not reading or understanding what mmattockx is saying to you. The mags for your 750 are RIFLE mags therefore they can only have 5 rounds even if used in a manual repeater. Mmmattocks is referring to using PISTOL mags in a rifle which is a totally different concept, where you can have 10 rounds in a semi auto rifle if the magazine being used is DESIGNED for a pistol. I.e. LAR pistol mags holding 10 rounds being used in an AR15 rifle.
This is one thing the RCMP are actually clear about with all our bs laws.

Ok I see guys, thanks. I guess I will have to suffer with 5rds.
Technically a bolt rifle has no limits... hence why lee enfields can have 10 round mags, AIA mags which fit M14's can have 10 rounds etc.
I don't know anything about the 7600, but that'll be the reasoning behind the ruling.
I AM curious if the mags are stamped specifically for one gun or another? The LAR15 mags are specifically stamped as such, the Beowulf mags are also marked. Seems to be the major defining factor in their being allowed - that they're marked specifically for a particular gun.
Back to the original topic - I'm quite curious what's happening with the mag adaptors - I just skimmed the last several pages but doesn't seem to be much progress in the last several months.
I would buy those plans! If they are in a common file type that most machine shops are familiar with so a CnC can cut this thing out, I would be all over them.
If just a blue print, I would also buy but obviously at a lower price
I haven't read through this thread, not sure if it is mentioned, there is a fellow on www.sksboards.com working on an magwell adapter that let's you use an AR mag. I think he's had several versions and the G9 is the refined one supposedly ready Jan/Feb 2014. If you google ' sksboards markus g9 ' you'll find some info.
