This poll is not for issues of "one or the other." It is to gauge the interest in 10/10 magazines.

So, who is interested in 10/10 magazines over 20/10 magazines?
 
The lee einfield is limited to 10 rounds because a machine gun variant we could never own exists.
 
Enfield Magazines do not require pinning. Just because they are listed as a exemption doesn't mean that they cannot hold more. I own a Ishapore 2A1 Lee Enfield with a factory manufactured 12 round magazine. It is not a prohibited magazine as it is in a bolt action. 20/20rd magazines are legal for any bolt action

I am merely basing my assumptions on the dealer's post in another thread.

NR Magazine said:
You are correct. The twenty (20) cartridge magazine will need to be pinned at ten (10) cartridges. We decided to go with the longer mag because it's nice and long for use as a monopod with the Enfield. A strict ten (10) cartridge magazine may also be possible.

I must be missing something here. Although there is no limit in bolt rifles. How does that get around this part of the regs http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-98-462/page-2.html#sched1

To be specific, the part that says you can't have more than a 10rd mag for a Lee Enfield rifle.

3. (1) Any cartridge magazine

(a) that is capable of containing more than five cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed and that is designed or manufactured for use in

(i) a semi-automatic handgun that is not commonly available in Canada,

(ii) a semi-automatic firearm other than a semi-automatic handgun,

(iii) an automatic firearm whether or not it has been altered to discharge only one projectile with one pressure of the trigger,

(iv) the firearms of the designs commonly known as the Ingram M10 and M11 pistols, and any variants or modified versions of them, including the Cobray M10 and M11 pistols, the RPB M10, M11 and SM11 pistols and the SWD M10, M11, SM10 and SM11 pistols,

(v) the firearm of the design commonly known as the Partisan Avenger Auto Pistol, and any variant or modified version of it, or

(vi) the firearm of the design commonly known as the UZI pistol, and any variant or modified version of it, including the Micro-UZI pistol; or

(b) that is capable of containing more than 10 cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed and that is designed or manufactured for use in a semi-automatic handgun that is commonly available in Canada.

(2) Paragraph (1)(a) does not include any cartridge magazine that

(a) was originally designed or manufactured for use in a firearm that

(i) is chambered for, or designed to use, rimfire cartridges,

(ii) is a rifle of the type commonly known as the “Lee Enfield” rifle, where the magazine is capable of containing not more than 10 cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed, or

I am not a Troll or trying to stir the pot. I just want to know how were getting away with a 20rd mag in an Enfield.

The fact that it has been called, and I quote the Marstar site;
"Australian International Arms' No.4 mk.IV rifle blends the best features of the SMLE (Short Magazine Lee Enfield) rifles from which it is a direct descendant with the latest technological advancements in engineering and manufacturing techniques.", means it will be considered a varient...

So the mag limit as Moe pointed out, applies.

Cheers

Im going to assume NR magazine already looked into regular capacity mags so we can put this one to rest
 
I think they probably didn't, because you used to be able to get 20 rounders directly from AIA when they were in business.


EDIT: Of course I have to put my foot in my mouth, because now I can't find where I saw them. Btu really, there's no reason they can't be 20/20.
 
I'm down for the use of the full magazine whether it's 10/10 or 20/20. If the only option is 10/20 that's still better than being pinned at 5 rounds. Why not get the full use of a magazine.
 
Either are good but I would guess because the total is ten rounds that the less expensive one will be the one that is ordered more.

Either way i will be ordering some !! Awesome job!
 
Either way, keep the magazines at their regular/full capacity: It would look wierd to limit them, almost 'dodgy,' when they are explicitly all legal for the AIA models.

On that note, ensure that they are stamped with AIA Enfield Model Magazine on the side. That way, they are visually easy to differentiate from m305s - 'lest someone think we were illegaly unpinning magazines. Save them the trouble as if you were talking to children. It would go a long way with idiots like RCMP bureaucrats and Patrick Cain's tabloid journalism...

I would say full or no 'partial' pinned jobs: don't risk looking illegitimate.
