    20 round rimfire mags still legal?

    so, I was on firearms outlet canada window shopping for my first rifle when I get my permit, and I saw this: https://www.firearmsoutletcanada.com/gsg-mp40-22lr-16-5.html#.XAlsrmhKjIU

    it's a 22lr mp40 with a magazine that holds 23 shots. sounds awesome. but i know they passed that bull#### bill years back on the xd-25 mags and that they want everyone to have only five shots. how is this legal? if it is I'm all for it and want it but how is it legal?

    Most rimfire rifle magazines are legal, regardless of capacity. There is a problem is if there is also a pistol version of the firearm.

    You can get magwell adapters for the 10/22 so it can take 597 mags (i.e. 70 round drum mags)!!

    This is awesome to know.

    Do you have any experience with using this setup, reliability, ease of use, etc?

    Magazines designed to contain rimfire cartridges and designed or manufactured for use in a rifle do not have a regulated capacity. Fill yer boots.
