Nothing in this provision would prevent legal ownership of a 20/20 AIA magazine. Section 3(1) contains a list of prohibitions. If the item is not prohibited by s. 3(1), then it is permitted. Section 3(2) is a list of exemptions from prohibition under s. 3(1). Since the AIA mag is for a bolt action rifle, it is not prohibited by s. 3(1), and therefore, section 3(2) is entirely inapplicable.
The provision about Lee Enfield magazines was included so that there was absolute certainty that the standard 10 round Lee Enfield Magazine is not prohibited. When the legislation was drafted there was a lot of uncertainty about how it would be interpreted. Someone raised the possibility of a Lee Enfield mag working in a very rare rifle that was full auto. To eliminate any doubt, the provision was included.
So, NR Magazine, will the AIA mags be 20/20 or 10/20?
I think that explains it thoroughly and succinctly!
