As most of you are aware, IRUNGUNS maintains facilities in both the US and Canada. IRUNGUNS offers the Canadian consumer the ability to purchase all magazines from its US store. We maintain a Magazine Compliance Dept. in the US which offers the customer the ability to purchase high capacity magazines and have them restricted to comply with Canadian Legislation, free of charge . IRUNGUNS follows the laws and regulations set forth by all governing agencies that regulate the Import/Export of defense products. We take Export Compliance very seriously, that being said, we feel that this needs to be addressed.
We did not make these rules and regulations but we will follow them without hesitation. We will not name any companies or individuals, but numerous phone calls and multiple emails sent to us will not change how many rounds your magazine will hold. Being that as it may, to have certain individuals who are also in the industry, tell us on the phone that they also have received a copy of the same bulletin, (see Attached), and then begin to argue as to why we will not break the law is absurd. Please accept this as a public answer to those individual's queries on magazine restrictions.
