HEXMAG 10 round 30 round body... Prohibited Please read....

[Suther]

The only thing obvious here is how many sheeps there is in the firearms community.

No, I'd say the most obvious thing here is how stupid our magazine restriction laws are. The crappy part is I don't see them ever getting better, they'll only get more restrictive (although perhaps better worded) from here.

It's probably because they know that with the Liberals in power, they can get away with pretty much anything. The Conservatives already showed that they won't put up with any of the RCMP's bull#### after the Swiss Arms and CZ858 fiasco.

Oh yeah. They sure showed them!

Newsflash, the 858 is still prohibited, the government wrote an exemption for the specific models already in the hands of Canadians so they could say they did something. As Wolverine found out, if you try to bring in new ones the RCMP will call it a new model thats not covered by the exemption.

I don't know what you guys don't get about this
Those only can hold 10 rounds the body is small,

The only mags that get away with having full bodies and pinned 10 round counts are ones of pistols that just happen to fit in some rifles.

This hex mag is NOT a pistol magazine designed for a specific pistol ( for example the glock 33 round mags are made for glocks) just because they happen to fit in some rifles is a bonus for us.

You can't just make a mag and stamp pistol on it. Period

It's not hard to understand

what exactly would it take? how are the LAR-15 mags not just rebranded 10-round rifle mags?

Stop pretending that this is anything but the RCMP being stupid, as usual

For one the Hexmags are stamped "Pistol Carbine"... last I checked that means short rifle that shoots typical pistol caibres...

More importantly read this, the original decision that gave is our LAR15 loophole:

This document is the final chapter in the saga of a cartridge magazine specific to the Rock River Arms LAR-15 Pistol, which is a 'handgun, commonly available in Canada', which may have a capacity of (not more than) ten shots.

1. The Rock River Arms, LAR-15 Pistol qualifies as a "handgun, commonly available in Canada".

2. The cartridge magazine for this handgun as manufactured by C Products LLC has been deemed to be acceptable as a "handgun magazine" as it meets the following criterion:

a) It is designed and manufactured for use in a handgun commonly available in Canada and has a capacity of not more than ten cartridges of the kind or type for which the magazine was designed.

b) The cartridge magazine for this handgun as manufactured by C Products LLC is not an adaption of a magazine designed and manufactured for use in a semi-automatic rifle.

3. The design that has been found acceptable as a handgun magazine is held by the RCMP, Firearms Support Services, Firearms Reference Table Section as a "pattern". This particular design and NO other design is approved for use as a "handgun magazine for a handgun commonly available in Canada".

4. As an assist to identification, the cartridge magazines which have been deemed acceptable as a "a magazine for use in a handgun commonly available in Canada", bear the following identification markings on the body or magazine case, applied at the time of manufacture by the manufacturer:

RRA MODEL LAR-15 PISTOL MAGAZINE
223 REM/5.56 MM NATO - 10 ROUND CAPACITY

NOTE: - No other ten shot capacity magazines are deemed acceptable as "a magazine for use in a handgun commonly available in Canada" as of 2007-03-12.

Please STOP inidicating that our current LAR15 magazines are repurposed AR15 rifle mags people! 10 round bodied rifle mags do exist, but are not nearly as prevelant as 20 or 30 rounders. Questar managed to prove this with the LAR15... but keep poking this government why dont we?

Seems 2b is the big one, for both these magazines and Beo Mags.

"b) The cartridge magazine for this handgun as manufactured by C Products LLC is not an adaption of a magazine designed and manufactured for use in a semi-automatic rifle."

So the RCMP considers the LAR mag to not be an adaption of an existing rifle mag, whereas the 50 Beowulf ARE an adaption of the standard 556 magazine...?

But as said above let's not poke the bear by pointing out the hypocrisy especially with the present government. You point it out and they may decide to make the rules consistent and I can guarantee they won't make it in our favour

[robber26]

Staying quiet doesn't make anything better either, everything we talk about they have also talked about. This isn't new information to us or them it's just the interpretation given as the mood swings.

[jd1965]

what if you guys brought in 10 round pmags ?

Those are originally designed and manufactured for use in a s/a, c/f RIFLE, and -as such- must be pinned to 5-rds MAX.

[jd1965]

I can only assume 2 reasons: uncommon handgun or designed for dual use

There is no such thing as a "dual use/purpose magazine".

Please, do not use/propagate THEIR erroneous terminology.

[jd1965]

A 10 round "California compliant" PMAG has to be pinned in Canada because it isn't specifically designed for an AR15 pistol?

No, a 10-rd "Cali compliant PMAG has to be pinned in Canada because it IS specifically designed for an AR-15...a c/f, s/a RIFLE.
