AA .50 beowulf PISTOL

[Cameron SS]

Since a full capacity Bowolf mag holds just 10 rounds, so even if AA makes a pistol it will be deemed "designed to use the rifle magazine" just like how the Mossberg MVP is designed to use an AR mag, therefore limited to just 5 rounds.

Actually the RCMP has given us a perfect example with rim fire mags that if it fits a rifle AND a pistol, and is not expressly marked as being for one or the other, the pistol limits apply, because they are more restrictive...

I will tell you what will happen. If you look back we had no mag limits before 92. Then we had 5rds. Then about 10 years ago the 10rd LAR mags came out and we were looked at closely for it but the anti's were still looking at less than the full mags we had so the government let that one slide. Then the .50 Beo mags that allow us upwards of 14 to 18 rds of 223 depending on what type. Anti;s were not happy about that but the government let that slide because again it was not a full capacity mag. BUT if someone puts out a beo pistol mag that will hold all 30rds of 223, there is no way the anti's or the government will let that rest. We will lose them, the beo rifle mags and probably the LAR ones too. They will re-wright the law to do this because there not going to let any full capacity AR mags exist.

Bottom line. Push this and we will burn down the progress we made.

Not so sure. Anti's are not the government. Right now we have a tepidly pro gun ownership party that won't touch the magazine regulations with a ten foot pole.

When the next government that comes along is anti gun ownership, magazine restrictions will be the least of our worries.

I rather think that anyone wanting a Canadian Beowulf pistol most likely

- Has never fired a Beowulf carbine (they are a handful)
- would not be one of the ones to to step forward and make them "commonly available" buy buying a Beowulf pistol.

AR "pistols" only exist to get around SBR laws in the states. It's merely a happy circumstance that they let us get around the mag cap limits up here.

Same thing with why the Mare's Leg in Canada is a non restricted rifle, but in the US its a pistol. Because the short barreled rifle designation is actually worse.

Agree'd, lot's of guys thinking about calling or emailing but none do, they just want someone else to do the work so they can benefit.

Seriously guys, don't waste your money on Beowulf mags, Leave them for the guys that actually own a Beowulf rifle. Instead donate to the NFA and CSSA and ask them to fight to get rid of our mag capacity restrictions, then we will be able run mags at their design capacity whatever they may happen to hold and we can just use a $20 pmag. Spending all this money trying to get around the laws just to hold 5 more rounds is silly.
I made a trade for an authentic Beowulf mag and it is pinned perfectly to hold about 5.8 rounds of 50B and will hold 16 rounds of 223 and functions perfectly. After the first day I had it I think I've used it 2 or 3 other times just to let a buddy play with it. Running 15 rounds isn't much more exciting than running 10 rounds and it certainly isn't worth $70-$100 more than a LAR mag. The only place I can see these mags as a benefit would be for the guys competing in 3-gun.

30 rds is not "full" capacity, there are lots of different options on the market that hold more.

The 50 Beo mags that still use the 223 follower are not even reliable when used in a 50 Beo rifle, It is something we only see here because of the capacity laws.

Where did you get this info from? If you're referring to the PCV mags, you're right, they don't work with Beowulf rounds. All of the A.A mags work just fine with Beowulf rounds.

There. Someone give me the measurement and i will register my RRa pistol lower as a beowulf

Don't waste your time. Its been done

How many times do we need to discuss this before people clue in... It isn't going to happen, so just let it rest.

What would it take to get AA to make a Beowulf pistol?

500 CGN'ers willing to pre-order? 1000 maybe? This should be one of our priorities right now.

I can't believe this hasn't been discussed to death here already. I think I have some more searching to do.

It has been done to death...AA isn't going to do it for Canada. Plain and simple. Now to stir the pot has anyone tried 7.62x39 from a AA BW mag?

 

[Mark-II]

I doubt there are so many who would pony up for a pistol. They just want others to buy the gun so that they can have the mags

I have a .50 rifle and *i* wouldn't buy a beo pistol

 

[hbean]

The subject has been beaten to a pulp, not even PCV is willing to touch it.

You've got about 2 years worth of senseless material to sift through. Let me save you some time... It's not happening
