Dlask Tuff 22 25 round mags

It's the magazines that are prohibited. Has nothing to do with what gun they are in.

Pistol magazines are limited to 10 rounds.
Ruger 10/22 magazines fit in Ruger 10/22 Charger pistol —> therefore any Ruger 10/22 magazine with capacity greater than 10 rounds is a prohibited device...

This weird logic is why you can use a 10 round AR15 pistol magazine in a WK-180 and everything is fine according to RCMP super geniuses!

Isn’t it? Since the RCMP “prohibition” of standard capacity 10/22 magazines is an opinion, this guy is of a different opinion, and none of it has ever been tested against a court; the RCMP have never charged anyone solely with possession of a prohibited device over a 10/22 magazine yet.

Their opinion isn’t in the criminal code or firearms act, nor is anything that declares that this is insufficient for modifying a magazine - in fact, this method IS blessed by the firearms act to reduce the capacity of a super illegal high capacity magazine down to a totally safe 5 or 10 round magazine, so if anything, I would say that his legal defence is robust.

That was the question, Bradley...

Robust my azz... this is Canada... no argument for high capacity magazines is "robust." So nobody has gotten a "decision" on converting prohibited magazines for a different platform... how quickly can that nut be unscrewed?

Don't get me wrong, I think the RCMP ruling is B.S, there are tens of thousands of formerly legal magazines that are being stolen from Canadian shooter's... but I do not know of an allowance to "declassify" a prohibited magazine in this manner... the only allowance I am aware of is pinning to restrict capacity.

Bottom line, it will be up to a field agents interpretation, which can't feel "robust."

As Ian Runkle has repeatedly stated, "interesting" legal questions will rack up a lot of court/lawyer hours - $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I suspect if a standalone over-capacity magazine charge for one of the edge cases actually made it to court, you would be facing RCMP "experts"
giving testimony in support of the Crown.

Few of us would be interested in volunteering to be a test case given the stakes.

I'm skeptical that a vigorous legal defense would be mounted by the folks who offer firearm legal defense insurance
in Canada for such a circumstance.

I have 3 of those mags and they all work great. I did polish 2 of them on all the inside surfaces to slick up how the rounds move up but it is not necessary

One of my mags was DOA as it had a defect and the lips were too tight. it was replaced but I repaired it and it works now


the KEY is that you have to make sure the first round is up against the lips and the second round supports it. if the first round wiggles it will not feed. this happens easily when using the clips and if you make sure the rounds are in properly it feeds 100%

Thanks ill try this. I can see on one of the mags the feed lip wasn't cut out properly. There is a bump dead centre in the middle and the side of the lip isn't cut at all compared to the other one. Gonna get ahold of Calgary shooting centre to talk about switching for one that's finished right.
