.50 Beowulf 3rd Party Magazines

One of their Liberal tactics is to NOT approve/delay (like rifles -SCAR). However they waste no time raiding perceived violations (like AK pellet guns). Worth considering how we play into their hands.

Yup. That was pretty greasy with the AK pellet guns.

Let the product into the country legally. Let them be sold and distributed legally.

Then seize them and arrest everyone.

They could do the same with Beuwolf mags, if anyone doesn't have all of their ducks in a row.
 
^^^^^ That begs the question how many folks are actually buying this for the .50 Beowulf. Holding off my lar15 purchase for my T97 hoping these will be available soon at a reasonable price :pirate:
 
Holy crap, how many people got arrested??

Not sure of the total damage. But it was substantial.

They went with full-on SWAT raids on stores that had them for sale. Then they went through the store receipts to find out who had purchased them.

This was after they were already imported and sold legally.
The CBSA/RCMP then changed their mind and decided that these were banned items.
 
Full on SWAT gear to deal with airsofts gun? I bet the tactical units were laughing in their hearts.

Not airsoft. BB-guns that resembled AK-47 rifles.
Apparently; They were partly made with real surplus AK parts.

And maybe the cops were laughing. But I can assure you that nobody else was.

If you're getting "high risk" pay for confiscating bb guns...

Suppliers / ticket sellers love scalpers ( I worked with a ticket selling agency a few years ago ). The scalper buys up a block, lowering the cost of sale per ticket, and then takes on all the risk of moving them. Remember what happened to the Magpul scalpers a few years ago when supply picked up? They lost a chunk of

I realize this was an old post, but I could not let it pass without comment.
Scalpers are a cancer upon a free market. They profit by inhibiting the free flow of goods from a manufacturer to the consumer.
In the case of Magpul scalpers, those same people passed on the loss in the next group of hijacked goods that they marked up obscenely.
And Magpul produced a bunch more thinking there was high demand, if scalpers had not been in the way they would have seen demand drop sharply and probably would have redesigned it.

This distortion of supply and demand has been harming the free market for years, please do not encourage it.
That said, I have no problem with a manufacturer charging what they think the market can bear. I am happy to be able to choose to buy a high capacity mag if I can afford it, and will pass if I cannot. It's the choice that makes me happy to be Canadian as many don't even get that...
