GSG 110 Round Mag prohibited now?

[Aprilia Man]

Oh Great!


Now what's next?


Is there an official statement released by the RCMP about this?

Your question regarding magazine capacity for the 10/22 platform has been forwarded to me for answer.

The Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited or Restricted limit the capacity of certain firearm magazines in order to reduce the number of shots that can be fired in quick succession. As set out in the Regulations, the capacity limit of firearm magazines is based on the type of firearm the magazine was designed for. The maximum capacity is five cartridges for a magazine designed for a semi-automatic, centre-fire long gun, and 10 cartridges for a magazine designed for a handgun.

Larger-capacity magazines designed for these types of firearms are prohibited devices under the Criminal Code, and individuals cannot lawfully possess them. However, if the magazines are permanently altered, or pinned, so that they cannot hold more than the legal limit, they are no longer considered to be prohibited.

Magazines designed or manufactured for use in both rifles and semiautomatic handguns that shoot rimfire ammunition are subject to a maximum capacity of 10 cartridges. The 25-shot Ruger BX-25 is interchangeable between the Ruger model 10/22 and SR22 rifles and Ruger 22 Charger handgun configurations (the product manual on the Ruger website states this explicitly) and is therefore considered a "handgun" magazine. Because handguns are limited to a ten shot magazine capacity in accordance with the Regulations (paragraph 3 (1)(b)), this limits the magazine capacity for the BX-25 magazine to ten (10) shots, despite the firearm being designed to use rim-fire ammunition.

The German Sport Guns Ruger 10/22 110-Round Drum Magazine, is a prohibited device because it is a dual-purpose magazine that is designed or manufactured to fit into a handgun. this particular magazine is also designed to fit the Ruger 10/22 platform, which, as it includes the Charger handgun is subject to the limit of 10 shots for handguns.



Hope this help

That's suck BS. It was DESIGNED for the rifle.

God dam, ruger just had to manufacture a t 10/22 pistol, and F it all up for us up hear in the Canada.

Seems strange that retailers were allowed to import and sell it then, eh? Who is the Good Idea Fairy that thought they should ask the RCMP about the GSG mag anyways?

 

[elimsprint]

I think this is the same guy who told me that all high capacity 10/22 mags are going to have to be pinned which I posted here and got scoffed at. He says it again "this particular magazine is also designed to fit the Ruger 10/22 platform, which, as it includes the Charger handgun is subject to the limit of 10 shots for handguns." which to me reads all high cap mags for 10/22's are going to need to be pinned sooner or later. I have emailed him for confirmation one way or the other.

Wonder if this is going to stick....When I read this sort of thing sometimes, it's positively sureal.

 

[little_airwolf]

If anyone wants to challenge this, let me know. I have a court date for the bx25x2!
The same rules should apply for BC mags, gsg mags and bx25x2.
The only readon why the bx25 mag is prohib is because ruger states on the website and packaging that its also for the charger.

 

[Dannyboy84]

So am I a criminal now? I don't get it, are we supposed to trash them pin them of what

 

[blasted_saber]

I just bought a 10/22. Butler Creek mags better not go prohib :facepalm:

 

[gcdavidson]

The only readon why the bx25 mag is prohib is because ruger states on the website and packaging that its also for the charger.

FWIW, the BX-25 package does not mention the Charger. It only states they are for 77/22, 10/22, and SR22.

You are correct that their web page states in a couple places that the BX25 is for the charger.

More cluster f ... and one more step in the opposite direction we need.

Is an e-mail response adequate as a form to implement changes?

I'm thinking an official signed document of the new prohibitions has to be released and the RCMP needs to make it known public isn't it?

OK, I knew about this somehow. I think a salesperson in ?Cabelas? or ?? told my son to avoid buying ANY Ruger 10/22 as there was to be a ban (i.e. Prohibited) on ALL Ruger10/22 magazines with more than a 10-round capacity - OEM or aftermarket.

This is because the Ruger 22 Charger "pistol" accepts ANY Ruger 10/22 magazine. This is the same story with the Mossberg 715T - all 25-round mags etc. are now prohibited as they also fit the Mossberg 715P "pistol".

Canadian Firearms owners sold out by Mossberg and Ruger...

My son bought a Remington 597 instead with (currently) LEGAL 25-round mags...

 

[sigrunes]

What a joke, it's always something. God forbid someone rain down bullets on some pop cans. Lol.

 

[G.Mitchell]

I'm calling this a load of crap...

They're gonna come after all of us with 10-22 mags that have been legal for decades?

The Canadian drum was designed for a RIFLE...

Again these jokers are over stepping their authority...

 

[Aprilia Man]

Amnesty !

Now there will be an Amnesty for all Ruger 10-22 owners who owns high capacity magazines!

 

[serbinator]

 

[Grock-co]

Next I hope they limit the number of shot in my 12 gauge target loads to ten, should add to the challenge at the skeet range.

 

[K-C]

Now there will be an Amnesty for all Ruger 10-22 owners who owns high capacity magazines!

Don't count on it - there was no magazine "amnesty" for Mossberg 715T owners, just Mossberg offering to trade your 25-round mag for ONE free 10-round mag. What a joke...

 

[GeoShooter]

You made a thread linking to another thread? What is the point of this?

 

[kokanee29]

the GSG 110 rnd drums...the ones they sell in Canada are NOT prohibited, and do NOT fit the charger pistols. They actually say "for Canada" on the box they come in......BX-25X2 (BX-50) mags are not gsg mags .. where and how do you think they are banned?
