No they never were prohibited, read post #15.

Enjoy your magazine, feel the freedom!.......:)

I had the OPP question me while shooting my 10/22 about not having a rivet in place. I said, opinion is not law and if you can find where I am in violation of the criminal code or firearms act I will place the cuffs on myself. They laughed , I laughed and we all went about our day.
 
That is why these ones are pinned to 10. RCMP says they're pistol mags.

the BC mags were designed, patented, and made long before any pistol existed. the law says "designed for" the BC mags were designed for a rifle. the 25 round ruger ones were released after the pistol and were designed and marketed for both. originally the RCMP banned only the rugger ones after they came out, which is correct. they later added all mags to the notice which is not legally correct.

Well done Mmcintyre, you make us all proud!.....:)

You were very correct, thanks.

Well said!.......:)

The RCMP are wrong, opinion means nothing. They are bully's, period......:(

These BC mags were designed for a Ruger10/22 carbine or rifle, the fact they may fit a Ruger Charger Pistol that was designed 20 years later is not relevant.

It is clearly not that black and white, otherwise some retailers would be selling unpinned mags. Is it even possible to import them unpinned at this point?

A really ballsy person might even drill the rivets out and sell these at full capacity, surely if its legal SOMEONE in the industry would have the balls to stand up for us and fight?... Its only been what, 6 years?...
 
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.

It's only RCMP who can give you problems at the range if they see you are using one? The local police SPVM or SQ (here in Quebec) can't enforce any mag restrictions, not sure if you know?

Actually Suthers, it is that simple.

Businesses are afraid, people are afraid. Why do you think the corrupt liberals have gone as far as they have with breaking several laws in this country?

This Butler Creek magazine fiasco was started by some RCMP bureaucrat that figured they were a God. This is not law, I'm not sure how many times one has to point this out?

I have directly spoken with several Canadian distributors to this effect. They all received letters from the RCMP stating these magazines are illegal, when they are not.

What does one do when a corrupt federal police agency threatens you? Most will sh!t their pants and comply.

So you can see why they get away with this nonsense.

These mags are small potatoes in the great scheme of crap they are shoveling down peoples throats. Just wait, she's going to get worse!......:(

You cannot import these mags without a rivet because the CBSA is in the back pocket of the RCMP. The lies and corruption begin with these WOKE bastards in power.

You think someone wants to take on these @ssholes over a BC mag? I think not.

Relax and enjoy your magazines, shoot safe and often while keeping a low profile in the field.
 
I don't recommend taking legal advice from comments on the internet, just in general.

I agree, this is not legal advice, only peoples opinions.

And the RCMP's advice stating these mags are illegal is also only advice. Not law. lol

So, one has to make a choice and do what they may.

Moving forward it will be freedom or slavery, I for one choose freedom.

Cheers!....:)
