So then the next question. Who carries these?

It's in the video. I don't want to name for fear that GT thinks I'm trying to advertise for them for free on this website.
but I don't see why they wouldn't be

Go read RCMP special bulletin number 72 for your answer. Mags are restricted to what they were designed to carry, not what you can put in them of a different caliber. Case in point, beretta 96 mags. There are limited to 10 rnd of .40 but will hold 12 rounds of 9mm and it's fine. RCMP say so in the bulletin 72. This 5 rnd .50 cal mag is no different.
I challenge anyone to call their CFO's office and ask for a licence to make regular capacity mags, ie 5 round rifle or 10 round pistol mags to see what they are told. They will be told no license is needed because regular capacity mags are not a controlled item.
 
I'm aware that you're talking in general and not directly to me.

That's correct.
However I just have to clear that for my part I'm just repeating why the last thread was locked.

I understand and I'm not trying to shoot the messenger. However, the thread was shut down out of ignorance.
 
Looking at this Saami doc, page 10 http://www.saami.org/specifications_and_information/publications/download/205.pdf
which specifies 40 Smith & Wesson and 40 S&W as the full and abbreviated name respectively. The Glock mags only has .40 which doesn't seem to be a SAAMI accepted caliber.

How does that differ from .50 Beowulf labelled as .50cal?

...The last thread that surfaced about these was locked as they're marked .50cal which isn't a SAAMI accepted caliber and until there is a RCMP ruling is considered a grey area topic.

Again, it's not me who decided this and I was just informing you as to why all the IBTL posts were popping up. For my part I'm just repeating why the last thread was locked.

If you would like to see what I'm talking about go here and view post 68.

TVPress did his .50 Beowulf on tavor last yr; didn't recall all the TinHat excitement.

Can I relink (re-pimp) that video yet? :D

You would not believe the comments I get from Americans on that vid . . .

"Did you have to modify your gas system to feed .50 beo through the Tavor?" :rolleyes:
 
Please read Post #5 in this thread. Confirmation of RCMP approval would be an excellent idea if these are going to be promoted here.
