The first absurdity was that the RCMP asserted a prohibition because magazines that for decades were explicitly & deliberately made for 10/22 rifles could also fit into the Ruger Charger.
What's further absurd is that the RCMP-approved SBI adapters now allow Remington mags to work in, yes, the Ruger Charger...
I went back to the first page of the report and it says that the adapter was sent in for inspection with a Remington 10 round magazine.
I googled “Can I own a .22LR magazine that holds 25 cartridges?”
There is a couple of RCMP pages that come up to read. One of them says this regarding mag capacity.
Current Issues
1. Magazines designed or manufactured for both rimfire calibre rifles and handguns
Magazines designed to contain rimfire cartridges and designed or manufactured for use in a rifle do not have a regulated capacity. However, magazines designed to contain rimfire cartridges and designed or manufactured for use in a semiautomatic handgun are limited to 10 cartridges. Magazines designed or manufactured for use in both rifles and semiautomatic handguns are subject to the handgun limit of 10 cartridges.
Example:
Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 rifle and 15-22P pistol chambered for 22LR caliber:
the 10 round magazine is unregulated
the 25 round magazine is a prohibited device
Example 2*: The Ruger BX-25 magazine, chambered for 22 LR calibre, is designed and manufactured for use in the Ruger SR22 rifle, the 10/22 family of rifles/carbines and the 22 Charger handgun. As a result, this magazine is a prohibited device unless modified so its capacity is 10 cartridges or less. (*This information was not included in the original version of this bulletin, but was added on 2013-09-05.)
So according to this the Remington 25 round mag is prohibited?
From what I read on other parts of their website a semiautomatic .22 is regulated to 10 rounds yet a Remington 597 25 round mag is legal.
What am I missing?
