FWIW, the BX-25 packages that were sold in Ontario a few years ago actually made no mention at all of fitting the Charger:
Had a great day pesting in Southern Alberta today.
Took my teenage son for the first time and a good friend.
We used our 10/22s and in consideration of this RCMP safety concern only used 10 round mags.
Funny thing here, my 10 round short Butler Creek magazines clipped together and my trimag holder which clips 3 Ruger 10 round magazines together allowed us to shoot just as we always have except for an additional 1 second mag flip.
So can anyone explain to me how making a higher capacity magazine illegal makes any sense here? I mean we were just as safe out there as if we had used 25 round BC magazines.
Worst part of the day was having 2 responsible adult gunowners trying to explain this RCMP magazine enforcement to a 15 year old wanting to get into a sport....
We just could not provide a rationale explanation to my son how a 1 second 10 round magazine change made us any safer out in the fields...........
there is no SAFETY involved here. it is just a form of state control
The biggest problem here is that any anti-gun organisation could design a semi-automatic pistol that uses the same mags as any rimfire rifle or any non-SA rifle (both of which have unlimited mag capacity) and send it to the lab for an FRT. In an instant, every rimfire/non-SA rifle magazine have to be pinned to 10 rounds, because they are designed for pistol. Doesn't matter if the pistol is crappy and there's just a single one in existence, it's got an FRT so it exists.
Then, as soon as they change their interpretation of the CX4/PX4, LAR15/AR15, JRCarbine/glock, and they say "these magazines are designed for a SA rifle, therefore you need to pin them to 5". Same anti-gun organisation start putting out carbines with every possible pistol mags and voilą, mag capacity has been effectively reduced to 5 in pistols. Only pistols with obscure magazines will be left with a capacity of 10, and as soon as one will become popular, anti-guns will make a carbine with the mag and 10 rounds get prohibited.
A couple years from now, a 6 shots revolver will be considered high capacity in canada.
The funny thing is I never even wanted a GSG mag before this possible ban came to light.

Oh it's not about safety regarding you and your rifle, after all you could have gone out with a Remington 597 and a bunch of 30 round magazines legally. But weren't you able to shoot with piece of mind that some psycho with a charger and 110 rnd drum could not sneak up behind you and slaughter the lot of ye'?
Maybe we should support our suppliers that have called bull#### on this and boycott the ones that folded like soiled tp? Just a thought but perhaps too deep for some...
I respect them!
I would say the RC's are hoping everyone grows wool and become mere sheep....
beware, out for a shoot today at Sylvester road. my remington 597 mags were confiscated by the rcmp. the two officers were great, however mis-informed and took them anyways after calling their supervisor.
I was going to go to little Iraq today but crapped out.
Are you going to fight this confiscation?
