Another RCMP Memo?

The CPC says the Charger is classified as a pistol so so much for that.

I asked her specifically about the ruger 1022 and the 25 round mags. She said that they are not prohibited at all. Perfectly legal.

25 round mag in a 1022 = legal
25 round mag in a charger pistol = illegal
Hope you meant CFC :confused:

I don't trust the answer because it's usually the magazine is either prohibited or unregulated, not both.
 
25 round mag in a 1022 = legal
25 round mag in a charger pistol = illegal

NO

Don't make statements like that when you don't know what you are talking about.

A mag is either prohibited or it's not prohibited. The location of the mag, be it in a rifle or in a pistol or stuck in your rear end has zero effect of the legality of the mag.

I'm going to say this one last time:

Putting a non-prohibited mag into a non-prohibited pistol does not suddenly and magically create a prohibited weapon.

Stop spreading FUD around.
 
As I said before, the test is non-Chiappa AR conversion mags. If they are deemed to be prohibited too, then the various high cap Ruger mags fall into the same category. Yes, this is all speculation. However, based on reports from other posters it appears that businesses are already doing things based on this speculation - pinning AR mags, withdrawing Ruger mags, etc. Hopefully it will turn out to be a false alarm.

It is a false alarm. Only the Chiappa mags and S&W mags are impacted by the latest ruling. The other conversion kits were designed and manufactured for rifles, and the mags are thus unregulated. You're basing this entirely on hearsay information and not on what is actually contained in the memos.

He didnt make the statement the CFC did. Give the guy credit for taking it upon himself to call directly and get a real answer as opposed to much of the speculation (and criticizing for some reason) going on.

Actually this is what the CFC said:

Which is true.

Then he goes on to speculate that a "perfectly legal" mag suddenly becomes "illegal" the moment it's locked into a pistol, which is blatantly false.

The laws are stupid enough already without people putting their own spin on them. As another poster already said, if you don't know what you are talking about, keep your mouth shut.
 
Great! Well, off to the range with my Charger and my 50 round drums and 25 round mags!
Hopefully I don't get arrested here in the beautiful Alberta side of the Rockies!
Or even worse.....


Hopefully god doesn't kill any kittens when I lock a BK mag in the Charger! Now if only this toy weren't restricted..........
 
I stand corrected on it becoming prohibited for use in the charger yet still fail to realize your ignorance Dax. People obviously want to know and follow the law and are trying to supply whatever info they can on a complicated issue. He got it wrong, big deal.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. All I was trying to do was help figure things out.

This was not my speculation. It was more of what the CFC was saying. She was simply trying to say they don't want you putting 25 round mags in your charger. Sheesh. I posted all that sh*t in an attempt to help. Not to get flamed. I see why so many people read this site and never comment.
 
No. NONONONONO!!!

If you don't know the answer, don't open your mouth.

If the magazine is unregulated (not a prohibited device), it can be used in whichever firearm it happens to work in. The BC mags were originally designed for use in the Ruger 10/22 rifle, so they are unregulated. The fact that they work in a Ruger Charger is irrelevant.

This is why we can use G17 mags in the Sub 2000, Beretta 92 mags in the CX4 and LAR 15 mags in the AR-15. It is dependent on which firearm the magazine was originally designed for, not what it is actually used in.

The S&W M&P 15-22 mags are limited to 10 rounds because they were designed to be used in both a rifle and a pistol... so the pistol magazine regulations apply.



Yup.
Soory for the mistake, my bad, you are right..
