M4 Canada legal extensions?

Unless,he has a prohibited devices manufacturing license, they would have to be blocked if made in canada.
You can't import a standard capacity magazine and block/pin it here.
Unless he is manufacturing some of his products in the usa for his market in the usa

It's not a magazine, a full capacity magazine unplugged would be illegal.
This is a extension, no different then then getting a +2 magazine base for a glock pistol, not illegal or prohibited to have.
It's on the end user to make sure they are in compliance with the law.

Nah, nah. Nice try, but that is taking liberty with the legislation. Everyone would just make 5 round semi-auto stanag mag and "extensions" taking them out to 30 and calling them a 5 round mag with a 25 round extension...not a mag. Or said another way, the shotgun mag tube is no more than 5, but the extension allows another 3 or 4 and isn't the magazine, so... Good luck with that Shapiro. I mean, I like the way you're thinking, but it ain't going to fly.

But you are wrong

A gray area is if the extensions also fit on pump action shotguns. You can legally buy some +5 tubes in Canada that will fit on some semi auto shotguns, but of course they are only legal to install on the pump guns they fit.

Right. But that shows intent.
And we all know that the crown leans very heavy on intent.
 
I'm probably wording this poorly.
It's not a magazine, by itself it's not prohibited .
You can buy /have it , but , if you intend to use it , you need to have it pinned, permanently block or nurtured or you're in violation of the law.
Our gun laws are stupid.

If you attach it to a magazine tube, and there by increasing the capacity of that magazine over 5rds on a self loading firearm, then you are in possession of a prohibited weapon/device .
It's just another example of how stupid our gun laws are.
You can have 15 round glock mags pinned to 10 and add a +2 base, not prohibited, mag still pinned to 10rds , put that same +2 base on a factory 10rd mag and you have a 12rd mag =prohibited.

By itself, it's not a magazine .

It's on you to insure that it is used in compliance with the law.

Our gun laws are stupid

It would all be a little easier on everybody if we just didn’t have some arbitrary magazine restrictions in the first place. I’ve heard stories of pins literally falling out before, with no input from the user at all. Just like that you’re facing charges through no fault of your own.

I don’t condone breaking any laws, especially firearms related, but I do note the responsibility that all free men have to disobey senseless restrictions.

You are misinterpreting what he’s saying. He is in fact correct and you are incorrect in this case. The extension itself only becomes a magazine once installed. Having a +5 extension and a 5 round mag tube isn’t illegal until the extension is screwed into the mag tube.

Just like having a 30 round mag pinned to 5 isn’t illegal until that rivet is removed.

...and you can't sell a 30 round mag here until it's pinned. Tube magazine extensions are no different.

No, you are incorrect once again and are comparing two different things. The extension isn’t a mag until it’s installed on the mag tube.

Let me break this down for you in a way you can understand. You can legally install a 2 round mag extension on a 30 round AR mag pinned to 5. It’s still pinned to 5 and that doesn’t change with the extension. The extension itself is legal to buy anywhere. Putting an extension on a 5 round capacity AR15 mag, doesn’t require a pin, would make the capacity 7 and not it’s illegal. The extension itself is still legal to buy anywhere in Canada, what you do with it determines the rest. I don’t really understand why this concept is so difficult for you.

Because it flies in the face of the law, and I'm a law abiding firearm owner. You. Are. Wrong.

Wow. I’m actually baffled and I’m not going to waste anymore time on you or others in this thread whose childlike egos get in the way of reality. If you want a full legal explanation, you can PM me with your full details and the hours I spend explaining it to you will be billable.

If you're billing anyone, for anything, I need to talk to your Bar Association...something's broke.

Borrowing from your logic, a live hand grenade can be sold without restriction, "'cause the pin is in." Schrodinger's hand grenade, isn't a hand grenade until the trigger starts the fuse. Perfectly legal up to the point where the spoon is released. :rolleyes:

Mag tube extensions need not be limited as they aren't magazines...are Schrodinger's silencers actually silencers before they are threaded onto a barrel?

Your pants on head logic is actually defeated when applied to things like silencers and Glock giggle switches. They, in of themselves, are prohibited devices. Whether you possess a Glock or not, if you are found with one of these switches (or a silencer), it's a problem.
 
So by some of your guys logic my +6 Nordic extension for my 870 that theoretically can also fit my Semi auto 1100 would be prohib? Just want to clarify before I chime in.
