No regs pertain to 'link ammo'

Prohib device would be a unpinned 'high cap' mag in excess of 5 (centerfire rifle) or in excess of 10 for handgun (except for 10 rounder for the 'new' AR Magazines):eek:
 
BCLINEHAND:
Don't have the URL at hand, but suggest you read the Justice Canada regulations on magazines and feeding devices....
Any belt for a weapon designed after 1945 must be limited to 5rds....
This has been covered here numerous times....

Then I stand corrected as well.......I thought there was a 'kit' on the market for a 'conversion' to link ammo for the M96 ( robinson) to navigate around the 'mag capacity' issue....

My Bad...:(
 
I knew I had it someplace please read >>>> http://canadagazette.gc.ca/partII/1998/19980930/html/sor462-e.html

In particular para "f"
which says f) "is of the "belt" type consisting of a fabric or metal belt, is not a reproduction and was originally designed or manufactured for the purpose of feeding cartridges into a automatic firearm of a type that was in existence before 1945."

Anything after 1945 is much more dangerous and must be limited to 5rds.

You sir I owe an apology to......... I was under the impession that if you did not own or posess a firearm for such a disintgrating metal "belt" then it would be legal to own.....ie; If I did not own or posess a dan wesson 15-2 revolver it would be legal to own a 2inch barrel for the gun but.....if I did own the same gun ( with a 6 inch) the 2 inch barrel would be prohibited......without the firearm the prohibited device becomes a piece of metal......( and back to the FA act I go)
 
it's kinda a grey area. if it's 199 metal peices each holding 2 rounds together... as opposed to a solid belt that held 200, woudln't you have 199 metal belts that hold 2 rounds each....

Link to mag regulations
 
To my knowledge there has never been a ruling on whether links, or linked ammo, are a "belt" under the law. I have asked several times, but never received an answer. My reading of the law say they are not.
 
The reg. points to belt - like the belt used by PKM, which is a non-disintegrated belt and the catridge is inserted into the belt.

C9/M249 or the C6/FN MAG58 uses distingrated links. They don't use "belt'. If the catridge is not inserted into the link, the links are just a pile of links - no belt. There is no "belt" to prohib"
