AIA Enfield mags - Here in 2014 **ACCEPTING PRE-ORDERS**

yea 10/10 would be better. I already have a few but it would be great to get more at a reasonable price. you could put me down for 10 at least. I'd don't know why more companies don't try to cash in on this sort of market. I doubt you'll be able to make them fast enough to meet demand.
 
10/10 would be better for me than 10/20. Though that depends on how they are limited, if it's a rivet then 10/10 definitely. I hate rivets.

And as it's been stated in this thread:

NR Magazine said:
You are correct. The twenty (20) cartridge magazine will need to be pinned at ten (10) cartridges. We decided to go with the longer mag because it's nice and long for use as a monopod with the Enfield. A strict ten (10) cartridge magazine may also be possible.

I must be missing something here. Although there is no limit in bolt rifles. How does that get around this part of the regs http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-98-462/page-2.html#sched1

To be specific, the part that says you can't have more than a 10rd mag for a Lee Enfield rifle.

3. (1) Any cartridge magazine

(a) that is capable of containing more than five cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed and that is designed or manufactured for use in

(i) a semi-automatic handgun that is not commonly available in Canada,

(ii) a semi-automatic firearm other than a semi-automatic handgun,

(iii) an automatic firearm whether or not it has been altered to discharge only one projectile with one pressure of the trigger,

(iv) the firearms of the designs commonly known as the Ingram M10 and M11 pistols, and any variants or modified versions of them, including the Cobray M10 and M11 pistols, the RPB M10, M11 and SM11 pistols and the SWD M10, M11, SM10 and SM11 pistols,

(v) the firearm of the design commonly known as the Partisan Avenger Auto Pistol, and any variant or modified version of it, or

(b) that is capable of containing more than 10 cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed and that is designed or manufactured for use in a semi-automatic handgun that is commonly available in Canada.

I am not a Troll or trying to stir the pot. I just want to know how were getting away with a 20rd mag in an Enfield.

The fact that it has been called, and I quote the Marstar site;
"Australian International Arms' No.4 mk.IV rifle blends the best features of the SMLE (Short Magazine Lee Enfield) rifles from which it is a direct descendant with the latest technological advancements in engineering and manufacturing techniques.", means it will be considered a varient...

So the mag limit as Moe pointed out, applies.

Nothing in this provision would prevent legal ownership of a 20/20 AIA magazine. Section 3(1) contains a list of prohibitions. If the item is not prohibited by s. 3(1), then it is permitted. Section 3(2) is a list of exemptions from prohibition under s. 3(1). Since the AIA mag is for a bolt action rifle, it is not prohibited by s. 3(1), and therefore, section 3(2) is entirely inapplicable.

The provision about Lee Enfield magazines was included so that there was absolute certainty that the standard 10 round Lee Enfield Magazine is not prohibited. When the legislation was drafted there was a lot of uncertainty about how it would be interpreted. Someone raised the possibility of a Lee Enfield mag working in a very rare rifle that was full auto. To eliminate any doubt, the provision was included.

So, NR Magazine, will the AIA mags be 20/20 or 10/20?
