So no clear answer yet on the capacity? What are they going to be pinned at if anything?
Frankly, it doesn't matter what the maker "pins" them at. If the manufacturer wants to make them as 20-round magazines but 'pin' them at 10 rounds to make it easier for dealers to import them across the Canadian border, the manufacturer is perfectly free to do so. And once they arrive, anybody who buys them is equally free to "unpin" them - and that will be PERFECTLY LEGAL. Why? Because, once again, they are magazines designed for a BOLT ACTION rifle, and as such THERE IS NO LEGAL LIMIT ON THEIR CAPACITY. Period.
And before anybody starts quoting section 3(2) of the Regulation again, that is an EXEMPTION clause. And an exemption clause CANNOT in law operate as a limitation clause. Period.
