This may in all likelihood be a stupid question, but I picked up an Bushmaster AR-15 today and rather than wait for the stock 5 round magazines to come in, the manager at my local gun store told me it would be a better idea to grab the 10 round LAR 15 5.56mm magazines instead. Now naturally my first though twas that all rifles were limited to 5 round mags, but he said because it was considered a pistol magazine (and still fits in the AR), it was legally limited to 10. I grabbed them anyways and am still waiting on my one-time transport permit to come in, but I don't want to take these 10 round mags to the range only to be kicked and banned because they thought I had unpinned mags or something.

Again, it's probably a dumb question because I might have missed something when trying to understand the law when it comes to ammo limits on pistols and rifles, but I didn't think they could legally sell something that was illegal to use.

Thanks
 
Only the short metal LAR mags are legal for 10 rounds.

Be careful of Tango Down plastic mags that are pinned to 10 that some ***** is selling.
 
:slap:

Because of the many people who have been asking (arguing) over the legality of whether a 10 round magazine can be legally used in a Rifle we posted a detailed explanation on our website explaining what the magazine laws are in Canada and how they apply to various firearms.

We've then given a step by step explanation of how the RCMP classification of the LAR-15 Pistol Magazine was determined and why that classificaiton is all the matters, not the type of firearm you use the magazine in.

It's long and it references the specific parts of the legislation that apply. It can be confusing but it should clariy a number of points for people who are unsure or confused about what is and what is not "legal" when it comes to magazine capacity.

Here's hoping you are a rule breaker, totally unacceptable.

Never heard that one before but it doesn't surprise me considering the way things are going at my club.

Best be watching for that then so you can cut it off violently at the knees.

That's because gun owners themselves can be just as bad as governments.

True enough, but in a lot of cases people are much, much worse.
