If I had a .223 round for all the times the RCMP interpreted the law wrong... I'd have more than fit legally in a Beowulf mag.
You could fill all beowulf mags ever lol

However bulletin 72 is revered as kryptonite in the way people carry it to local ranges and tout it as some sort of gospel that will keep them safe.
If is like carrying FRT numbers, police can look it up if they wish on their computers, you providing a number does not mean the police have any reason to believe you and just walk away with tail between legs in any interaction I have ever seen at the local ranges or otherwise

They fit in rifles that take standard AR-15 type magazines. They are manufactured to take 5 rounds of .50 Beowulf but can also hold 14ish rounds of 5.56. So as long as the rifle you are thinking about buying takes standard AR-15 magazines normally i.e. Tavor, AR, etc. then you're good to go. They do not hold any 7.62mm round.
Read the Criminal Code, section 84 and regs. The code is crystal clear. It's not what we want it to say or believe, but what it actually says. This is what a Judge will go by, not our personal opinions. I hate to say it, prohibited device. See Brian46's post above.

Please provide ONE instance where someone was convicted for having a Beowulf mag.
There are SEVERAL posts of members being stopped by Police, having their mags seized, only to be returned days or weeks later. I've not seen a SINGLE story of anyone being charged or convicted for possession of a Prohibited Device.
this
also what about charging business owners selling a prohibited device? information widely available directly from their websites. But as of yet, no swat team storming their houses, warehouses, shops, putting the business owners in jail.
If I was to open a website selling cocaine in Canada, I wouldn't be enjoying my freedom for more than say oh 48 minutes from the site going live!
No it's not clear to anyone that those are prohibited devices, fact is it's more leaning towards being completely legal as opposed to being prohibited. If it was clear that they were prohibited devices we wouldn't even be having this discussion right now.
Why do you think this hasnt seen a judge yet, i mean really? The RCMP knows the judge will side on those being not prohibited devices and cause a precedent sealing the deal forever. The RCMP actually loves people like you causing this to be a grey issue so that people are so afraid of their own shadow so that they dont own any of these.
You are 100% wrong
And the code is crystal clear, it just does not say what you think it does

Beo mags are pistol mags originally designed and manufacture for pistols chambered in .50 beo

Why have none of the people who had their property seized and then returned and charges dropped not sued the RCMP for damages?
Not long ago a CGN post stated and individual was charged and had his mags and rifle seized, pokes holes in your "nobody was ever charged" theory

What are the damages? They got their property back after a few days.
Really?
Post it up what was he charged with what was his sentence?
Oh yeah, there were none
Shawn
Lawyer costs, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, wrongful persecution, etc. I was wrongfully charged before and the damage it does to your name in the community even when exonerated is not reversible, people still look at you as some sort of criminal and many will not hire you knowing your past run in with the law.
The thread is in legalese, didn't say he was convicted/sentenced. Charges alone are costly, it is not something that disappears off your record, mine still show up when I cross the border and at traffic stops even though they were dropped

They are not "pistol mags originally designed and manufactured for pistols chambered in .50 beo" if they started life as regular mags which were then modified or engraved/printed.
Note the distinction between using a .40 caliber factory 10 round magazine in a 9mm pistol.
And if you are arguing that the 50 beo is a pistol, then I would argue that it is not a "semi-automatic handgun that is commonly available in Canada".

Post it up what was he charged with?
Got to love it you dont want to post it because it does not support you narrative. And then you throw up the I was wrongfully charged thing, yet again no matter what we are talking about it has happened to you.
