Got out to the range today with my new .50 cal AR mags.

If you take the time to read my entire post, you will understand that my point is not about the bulletin. My point is: Where is the proof that this mag is not just a .223 mag stamped .50cal?

I most certainly did and I fully answered it. Did you took the time to go on the manufacturer's website, or at least, read OccasionallyOnTarget's post (#5) where he pointed out the following Q&A:

Q: What ammunition will work in the PCV-50?
A: The PCV-50 is designed to hold and feed five rounds of .50 calibre ammunition, specifically the .458 SOCOM and .50 Beowulf.

Not hinging it all on this no. However, it is a a quick and dirty reference that is easily acceptable.

Not to be obtuse, but is there anything else we can reference, like case law or other documentation that alligns with the opinion of the bulletin?

My question is: Are thoses mags .223 mags that happened to fit 5x .50cal and then a smart-ass bought them in bulk and stamped ".50cal magazine" on it purposely to sell them on Gunnutz? Keeping saying that they are "designed" for .50cal doesn't necessarily make them so. If this is, indeed, the case, theses mags will be classified as prohibited device.

The LAR15 mags have been specifically aproved by RCMP as pistol mags and a special bulletin was emmited for them. Sorry but for me, until i get proof that theses are specifically build from the gound up for .50cal, i will stay away from them.

In what way do these look like a typical .223 AR mag? Yes they fit a AR they are made for a 50cal AR specifically. I don't get why people are still so uppity about this, the RCMP opened the floodgates the instant they made their determination on the LAR-15 mags and mixing calibers and mags. I've been wondering what's taking so long for more products like this to hit the market. It's about time I's say!

Further, this magazine is being promoted on CGN. Has this promotion been approved?

I think there is a difference between promoted and discussed. Obviously, there is a lot of interest in this, so discussion seems appropriate. I posted this thread because of the interest, not to promote anything (I have nothing to do with it, haven't tried it, don't have any, and don't know anyone who does).
 
I really hope you guys don't get burned with these things. Good luck convincing a police officer that one of these magazines is anything other than a prohibited device when it's stuffed full of .223 and has a fictional calibre stamped on the side.

The Alexander Arms .50 Beowulf magazines are the genuine article designed and intended for an existing rifle that was reviewed by the RCMP and given an FRT #. This ".50 calibre" magazine gives the impression of being nothing more than an overcapacity magazine with a fictional calibre marked on it.
 
Merged and cleaned up thread.

Please note that we are going to start issuing infractions for annoying pointless posts like "IBTL". Please keep on topic, and contribute to the discussion or don't post anything.

Thanks,

Lenght? Long enough to use as a monopod?

Looking at the video, when he holds the 50 cal mag up to a pmag.
Lenght is about the same as a 5/20 colt mag.

If they didn't even work for 50cal beuwulf uppers, does it matter?
Is the rcmp in the business of product testing for canadian consumers?
Lots of garbage magazines are sold already, and the rcmp allow it.

Yes, but those crappy magazines are still designed for a specific firearm. A magazine must be designed for a specific firearm. That is law. Which one is this one designed for?

It would be like convincing a cop that my glock 22 mag filled with 12 rounds of 9mm isn't a prohibited device. It doesn't need an RTF number because it's only a 5 round mag. Look it up.
Further, this magazine is being promoted on CGN. Has this promotion been approved?

How is my video any different than any of my other YT video reviewing gun stuff? If I talk about my new Glock 22 am I promoting Glock? I don't work for these guys.
 
I don't see what all you naysayers are whining about. The mag is a 5 round magazine designed to hold 5 rounds of .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM. Everything else is immaterial.

Same as 10 round AIA mags that happen to fit in an m14.
Same as pistol mags that are designed for .40 and hold more than 10 rounds of 9mm.
Same as running a beretta 92 mag in a cx4 storm.

Then by your logic are all .40 magazines that aren't clearly marked for .40S&W also prohibited devices?
