No schit. It's not Rugers fault "a company based in a country where handguns are not the devil" decided to save tooling costs and make a magazine for both.....
God Damn our phucking retarded arse country is more like it!
Why don't you all understand this by now!? Get mad, yell at your representatives. Tell them to unphuck this mess of gun laws we have. Maybe if enough of you wake the hell up the feds will do a little more than the pathetic B.S. they currently just announced...
Like seriously, god phucking damn it... the ignorance to our current situation tells me everything I ever needed to know as to why we are in our current craptacular situation.

It must be frustrating to have to choose what to read first, but I bet if you read the threads that were posted and the whole post (must be hard I know it will take you all day ) you will know why people post links in forum posts.

Guys, I think a lot of this is a little bit premature. That's an email, not a bill on parliament hill. Until this has been published as law, I'd disregard it as a misguided opinion by an overzealous officer. Until I see something from the Gazette or hear about this being an actual law, I'm gonna keep mine. Gonna call my guy later and see what he's hearing, though.

I copied a response from the other thread,
This is reply from Blue Line, the distributor of GSG mags:
There are two versions of the GSG rotary magazine. First one was build and advertised for Ruger 10/22 and SR22. We have submitted this magazine to the RCMP for approval almost two years ago, and it did not came back as “approved” for sale in Canada. It was also not prohibited, at that time, but remained in a “grey” area. RCMP raised the question that this model of magazine was purposefully designed for multiple models of firearms, or dual use, for rifles such as the Ruger 10/22, SR 22, and possibly the Ruger charger, which according to its classification is a restricted firearm. As result, in the eyes of the RCMP, this would mean that that particular magazine would have to be blocked and hold no more than 10 rounds.
As we could not disagree with RCMP on this issue, we directly asked German Sport Guns to design different magazine specifically for the Ruger 10/22 RIFLE ONLY. In the interim, while negotiations were underway between Blue Line and German Sport Guns to come up with a Canadian Model Ruger 10/22 Rifle magazine, N**** ***** jumped the gun, and imported the “grey” version into Canada via grey channels, started selling them to customers and jeopardizing this delicate situation. German Sport Guns has published a public statement surrounding this issue, as those magazines were never meant for enter the Canadian Market and would not be supported and warranted!!!
The official GSG Canadian 110 round magazine, that we import is, as per Manufacturers Statement: designed, manufactured, tested, marketed and warranted for specific use in the Ruger 10/22 rifle ONLY,therefore as per our Country’s laws and regulations, it is perfectly legal to import, sell and posses.
Prior to our first import, our attorney has submitted to RCMP the Manufacturers Statement and all applicable documents. We absolutely have had no problems importing, marketing and selling GSG’s Canadian Model Ruger 10/22 Rifle magazine in Canada.
Canadian Model Ruger 10/22 Rifle rotary magazine in fact has different design internally and externally. Canadian magazines can easily be identified by multiple engravings on magazine body and magazine head that says: “Canadian Model” and “Designed For Ruger 10/22 rifle”. Furthermore, magazine head is slightly different and it is permanently attached to magazine body. Canadian magazines are packaged in boxes that clearly state: “Canadian Market”, “Canadian Model” and “Ruger 10/22 Rifle”.
I think this is all noise, unless things are published otherwise in official RCMP business bulletins, or made into law officially. An email/opinion from one individual RCMP officer does not make it law, nor does it make okay for him start rumours before things are official. tsk tsk tsk
I'm gonna take mine to the range today, and go have some fun!

They are manufacturing a drum specifically for the Canadian market and the packaging and magazine markings reflect this. The original drum that included reference to the Charger is prohibited or must be pinned. The new gen were RCMP approved.
x 1,000,000!!
You've posted yet another complaint. What is the point of this?
"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."
If they want to get technical the Butler Creek mags were designed and manufactured long before any Charger pistols ever came into the market.

How do they NOT fit the charger pistol? It is exactly the same as a 10/22 but with a short barrel and a pistol grip stock. I truly don't see how it can fit one but not the other.
The GSG mag has a flared anamorgling retranked floating lug divot and a synchronized velenoid camshank that ensures it will only fit 10/22 and SR-22. There's basically no legal way it can be made to cycle in the Charger. Doing so would require a licensed gunsmith to extensively prenuemanize the toggle bearings, but that would make it prohibited.
I dont know what your all talking about ? I see these in my local gunstore and they are all stamped Ruger 10/22 rifle only Canadian Edition which means no they are not prohibited since they are clearly marked rifle only Canadian edition. So if you bought ones not Canadian then ya I guess you fall into the BX-25 catagory but there are Canadian legal versions for sale They had a like 30+ on the rack that I saw yesterday.

Why would someone import or even buy non-canadian drums anyway, and stir the ####, knowing the rules and regulations surrounding high capacity magazines.
The law is pretty clear, and as you said Ravage, the Canadian ones stamped with all the markings follow the law as stated previously in this thread.
