Another new 10-22 mag worth importing?

Due to the time, costs & effort it takes to set up importing with a new company, we will only be concentrating on only one of the new mags, I think the battledyne wins out, less gimmicks, sturdier design, no place for dirt & no CHARGER pistol mag references....Let us know what you guy think!

Battledyne and the Gen 3 Promag 922 win out by a long shot. These are way too gimmicky. The 922 have that MP5 look, are slick, small and efficient in design. The Battledyne look good, solid and work with AR15 Mag accessories like clamps and pouches. No contest.
 
Battle Dyne Mags look good, solid as stated keep dirt etc out. Deffinately interested in some in Tan if they can be brought in by HiCal Services, Great guys to deal with...... support Canadian Dealers as much as possible.
 
I'm not really a fan of the battledyne mags but I definitely see why there is the interest in them.

Being in Canada makes it tricky, we can just pickup up one of these new mags w/o import approval and such to actually prove if it's a gimmick or not. The stripper clip I can do without, I actually like the open side with the thumb slider. They could be terribly unreliable though.

I think I'll seek out more tactical innovations ti25 mags if I like the three I'm waiting on.
 
We have had many discussions with the owner of the company & he states they run excellent! Battledyne wins, we will start the process & have them on the webstore ASAP! Thanks, Dave.

If they did Canada only packaging or something maybe that'd get it through. :)

It has to be designed and manfactured for the 10/22 only meaning they have to custom make the magazines as well meaning they designed and manfactured them for the 10/22 and not the charger.
 
While the battledyne mag's may be "better" (that's an opinion until they've been tested in a side-by-side comparison) they wouldn't look very good on my stock 10/22 carbine.

I like the looks the HC3r and wouldn't be adverse to trying it. Mind you, I wouldn't be adverse to trying the battledyne either, even if it looked stupid on my stock 10/22 carbine. One thing I do know is, if I have to load the battledyne one round at a time, I'm not interested. Now my Butler Creek loader (bought for my BC 25 round magazine) works real well on the BC magazine. It should work on any other high cap mag too (I use it on the stock 10 round magazine the gun came with) but it would suck if it didn't because it's a slow tedious job loading 25 rounds singly.........lol.....so maybe once one of you fellows buy one, you could try out a BC loader and get back to us and let us know if it works.

Besides, Ruger makes it's own 25 round magazine and I'd rather have theirs than anybody elses:

What are the chances of those being imported and sold here in Canada?

I just looked over the HC3r website using the posted link and saw no reference to loading a pistol. Unless they're referring to the their stripper clip and I'm not sure I see how that would work easily. I doubt it would work as quickly, or as effective for loading a Mark II or III magazine as the McFadden "Ultimate Clip Loader" I own one (ordered it out of the US) and also bought one for my friend. They'll hold 50 rounds easily and reload a magazine in a few seconds. I reguarly blow through a brick or two of 500 rounds in a single trip to the range and never have a sore thumb with the ultimate clip loader.

The Ruger BX-25 magazines are prohibited devices as they are designed to function both in the 10/22 rifles and Charger pistols.

also more information about max mag capacity on the RCMP site:

I bought one of those in minot and the problem that I had with it is that you cant just push the clip straight into the gun, you have to push the mag release buttton then work the clip in.
 
Hi all! I recieved an email this week from Rick Simpson from Canadian Outdoor Distributing Inc and he advised me that they have applied for approval to export the HC mags out of the USA and are expecting stock in April :) YAY
