Just as many pistols as the LAR pistol mags fit. Nothing says you have to own a pistol to own a mag for one.Originally Posted by Paul_1982
It would behoove you to take a closer look.
Been doing more reading than anything in this thread, and, your question has raised an issue in my mind...a kind of related issue, I guess.
You mention the catch phrase "commonly available in Canada". And, my understanding is that it is used as the standard as to whether an item in question is considered legitimate by our overlords. If so, in my mind then, that begs the question of the S&W M&P15-22 mags.
The factory 25 round magazines were deemed to be pistol magazines because S&W developed a short lived pistol version of the rifle south of the border; as far as I know, the pistols were never commonly available here. And, in reality, I've never even heard of any being available for sale here. However, that did not stop the RCMP from declaring the mags to be prohibited on the grounds of being pistol magazines, and in need of destruction or proof of pinning; lest people like myself receive an unwanted visit from local law enforcement (that was the hostile tone of the letter I received).
The point being that the RCMP decision on the Smith was obviously not based on the standard of "commonly available" in Canada. If they want to use that standard now, on a magazine that some claim (and I don't claim to have irrefutable proof of any kind) is a from the ground up pistol magazine, then the Mounties want it both ways. If what some claim is true, then they are having their cake and eating it too, and, the law really is an ass not worthy of respect. Oh, yes, it will be obeyed because of the big stick it carries, but it will have lost all respect. People will follow it, not because they believe it is just, but because they fear it. And if so, what a country we have become.
ETA: "People will follow it, not because they believe it is just, but because they fear it." Huh!
In reality, I guess that sums up the obeisance of the Firearms Act as a whole!

Look to your front! Mark your target when it comes.
What should I look at? A bunch of people here wanting to lynch a reputable retailer because the RCMP can't get their $hit together?
Barton's is currently showing these mags as out of stock:

You're either ignoring reality, or you don't understand it.

Actually I've been around the block with firearms law long enough to understand quite well.
Chuckbuster,
It is the position of Bill ETTER that "if anyone with a credit card and a courier account can access a product anywhere on the planet, then it is "commonly available".
To that I replied, "then I'm ordering 10-rd pistol mags for the Vz-58 pistol, from Zahal".
"Oh, that's different. That's an exemption."
"Why's that, Bill?"
"It just is."
