And how are they limited to 10?
Rivet????
Rivet????
The BX-10/OG mags run flawlessly and are well-loved for good reason. I've never loved them because of the flush fit, everyone has a preference. Always wished a modified BX-15 mag was available over these, ideally not riveted even if limited to 10. I like the aesthetic of a protruding mag on a semi and like having something to grab. To me, the ideal mag (Ruger are you listening? 
) would be a BX-15 with just a longer follower limiting it to 10.
It'll never happen...but you know.. lol

...You can buy BX-25 mags limited to 10 in Canada, can you not? I'm pretty sure you can. Or maybe I've just seen them nefariously for sale on the EE. Who knows.
But anyways, the Butler Creek Steel Lips have always been one of the best aftermarket 10/22 options. Mine have always run great. Easier to load than the BX mags too (Unless you have a 10/22 Lula, they're pretty slick).

I think SBI has a base plate you can add to the standard 10-rounder to give you something to grab.
The RCMP refuses to charge anyone over this. When the interpretation that these were banned came out there was an internal notice sent to each division specifically saying don't charge them unless you're laying other charges too.
I figure that way it won't go infront of a judge which could potentially tell the RCMP their interpretation is no good.
Correct. I would encourage anyone buying one of these to simply drill out the rivet and not participate in the nonsense.
I know, I'm pretty sure I remembered seeing "not recommended as a standalone charge" on one of the RCMP bulletins about this situation? More likely to be used as leverage to get a guilty plea for other charges by offering to drop this one. Just thought it was funny to specifically post about drilling out rivets.

This crap was an opinion of some RCMP gun-hater, only an opinion not law. We used to call this bull-sh1t baffles brains when I was a police constable.
RCMP do not make up laws, some of the arrogant officers in charge think they do, but they do not. There is no criminal code offense for the use of a Butler Creek 25 round 10/22 magazine. It amazes me how afraid and naïve Canadians can be to this regard.
There are some great RCMP members on the force, make no mistake, there are some real gestapo type b@g-lickers as well. Ones that will kiss the liberal cloke like it was the Pope himself.
From my experience, the majority of detachments across Canada are run by either an Officer in Charge (OIC), a Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge (NCO IC) or a senior Constable in charge. With most departments, sh1t runs down hill. So, if you have a gun unfriendly member in charge, they seem to enforce gun laws to the enth degree. If you have a hunter, sport shooter or gun-person in charge it's more relaxed.
In other words, if you have a gun-hater in charge they will go after this ridiculous opinion that Ruger 10/22 high capacity magazines are illegal, even though they are not.
I have seen this theory of mine over and over in the last forty years on and off working with the RCMP. Provincial or municipal police agencies appear to be more even minded. But not always either.
Use your Ruger 10/22 magazines, keep a low profile and things should go well.
Being an idiot at the range and drawing attention to yourself in the field will certainly bring bad karma.
This nonsense about the Butler Creek magazines being illegal is just that, nonsense.
When the RCMP trust a rivet over honest Canadian Citizens, I would say we have a much larger problem.

Correct!.......
Bull-sh1t baffles brains, nothing more.
There is no law period.
Only BS.
That is why these ones are pinned to 10. RCMP says they're pistol mags.
