ummm, so you cant use Butler Creek mags any more ???? - according to the RCMP you can't because they fit a Ruger Charger pistol that is available in Canada (somewhere). A 22LR high capacity magazine (say 30rds) for a semi-auto is legal if it does not fit any pistol available in Canada. It's been in the Firearms Act for a long time. Like the Remington 597 30-rds mag is absolutely legal.
can you PIN your BC mags ?? -sure you can but what's the point of doing it? You have very good 10-rd Ruger 10/22 mags.
sh11t man....every time ya turn around there changing the friggen laws !! -just the RCMP's interpretation regarding the Charger pistol is relatively new (2017-18) not the general law

I have no idea how I missed your post. Thought I had read it all, but I failed. Either lack of sleep from a newborn at home or I’m simply senile. Or both haha.
I’m not expecting perfection, but will find out soon. Just got an email that they shipped part/all of my order. Will see what shows up.
The Savage A22 has the flush fit 10 round mags now too.
To me...the 10/22 is very underrated in terms of it's historical significance. It should fit side by side with the 1911 and AR15 under the "iconic American firearm" category. I currently own 3 of them, and love them all.
That's what makes the shooting sports so great, the difference of opinions. I would have said the 10/22 is a very OVERRated. Enjoys a tremendous amount of popularity, but didn't live up to the hype when I had one. Not even close. Granted, a scoped 22 @ 40 yards that can only hit a pop-can-sized target about 1/2 the time? Not bound to impress me. lol Crooked barrel, tug-of-war/gritty-feeling trigger, crappy mag release, most inaccurate rifle I ever owned. A new gun shouldn't be a fixer-upper out of the gate, require 2X the $ value in upgrades to shoot as well as a cheap bolt gun. To each, their own. Best I could say about mine was how perfectly the factory 10 round mags work, and that the gun would happily gobble-up any ammo I fed it. Except...it would then throw them where IT wanted, not where I wanted the bullets to go. lol
When I did have 25 rd steel lips mags I used to get 23-24 gophers per mag, and go through a federal bulk pack in a little more than an hour on a gopher mission. Now there are lots of lulls in the action while refilling and swapping 10 rounders.
^^^That's why you go aftermarket. That's the one and only reason to get a 10/22. No it does not make any sense financially, it's for the people who want to tinker. If I got the cash to spare, the only Ruger made component on my 10/22's would be the magazine. A barrel swap alone can get you minuet of toonie accuracy. And from my experience, I have no trouble hitting pop cans at 40 yard off irons with my 10/22's straight out of the box.
Although, I do have to say that if I were to do this all over again, I would skip the whole Ruger thing and start off with aftermarket parts from day 1.

If I were ever to tinker with a 10/22 (which I think is doubtful), I would start with the base rifle, unlike Alvin above me. Just a different opinion.
I would start with the base and find out what each part that I put in really gives me.first would be all the trigger group stuff, bolt release and Mag release, as well as the bolt buffer. Those, to me, seem like the biggest difference in feel, comfort, and ease of use. From there, who knows. Barrel and stock next?
It depends on what course shooting takes me. I want to get more into the rimfire competitions. I don’t know if I want bolt or semi. They both have advantages over the other but I just can’t see me really owning another 10/22.
