mag tube ext. for a semi

For those who are still confused, I'm going to connect you to the relevant link: http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/showdoc/cr/SOR-98-462/bo-ga:s_1::bo-ga:s_2?page=2

... and post the few paragraphs that pertain to your question...

PART 4

PROHIBITED DEVICES

Former Prohibited Weapons Order, No. 9

1. Any electrical or mechanical device that is designed or adapted to operate the trigger mechanism of a semi-automatic firearm for the purpose of causing the firearm to discharge cartridges in rapid succession.

2. Any rifle, shotgun or carbine stock of the type known as the “bull-pup” design, being a stock that, when combined with a firearm, reduces the overall length of the firearm such that a substantial part of the reloading action or the magazine-well is located behind the trigger of the firearm when it is held in the normal firing position.

Former Cartridge Magazine Control Regulations

3. (1) Any cartridge magazine

(a) that is capable of containing more than five cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed and that is designed or manufactured for use in

(i) a semi-automatic handgun that is not commonly available in Canada,

(ii) a semi-automatic firearm other than a semi-automatic handgun,


(iii) an automatic firearm whether or not it has been altered to discharge only one projectile with one pressure of the trigger,

(iv) the firearms of the designs commonly known as the Ingram M10 and M11 pistols, and any variants or modified versions of them, including the Cobray M10 and M11 pistols, the RPB M10, M11 and SM11 pistols and the SWD M10, M11, SM10 and SM11 pistols,

(v) the firearm of the design commonly known as the Partisan Avenger Auto Pistol, and any variant or modified version of it, or

(vi) the firearm of the design commonly known as the UZI pistol, and any variant or modified version of it, including the Micro-UZI pistol; or ...

So to recap, for the purpose and firearm type you're inquiring about, 5 rounds in the magazine and 1 round in the chamber. End of story.

Good Luck.

Interpretation

... "cartridge magazine"
«chargeur »
"cartridge magazine" means a device or container from which ammunition may be fed into the firing chamber of a firearm; ...

Here's the link for that:

Thought as much. Still no way to squeek the "equivalent-to-a-pump" angle? ;)

P.S. I won't be so "squeeky" as to say that an extension would constitute a seperate magazine with its own 5-shot capacity...

... The LAR-15 mags hold 10-rounds of 5.56mm and can be used in AR-180B's, etc, b/c they are officially pistol-mags ...

If I understand you correctly ... In comparison, how would you argue that the magazine tube extention was initially designed for a semi-auto and not a pump? That's why 10 round mags are GTG in certain rifles... they were initially designed for a pistol.

Good brainstorming though ... :D

Actually, I admit that was a horrid example (I just thought the LAR-15 mag-idea would be more familiar).

I was really thinking along the lines of the Eagle 10-round mags that fit in both the 7.62mm slide-action rifles and the 7.62 semi's (7600 & 7500, or whatever the new models are). The idea...and Tomlinson seemed to point this out with certain Cloyer mags...was that it could not be proven the mags were exclusively for the slide-action rifles (they would fit in both). A similar idea would be positing that the mag-extensions can fit on both slide-action and semi-automatic Rem shotguns, etc...

Just clarifying, not arguing! :)
