Magazine Capacity Misinformation and Confusion

Status
Not open for further replies.
I just called that number and talked with the tech ( he gave me his name ) and he is saying this change to the mag capacity took place when the Charger firearm was introduced.
He said all mags mentioned are to have a 10 round mag limit unless I could prove the magazine was purchased before the law was changed.
And this includes my Ruger 1022 as the OP mentioned :mad:

I didn't think to ask for this in writing either . ... Sorry

This literally does not make sense.

Also, (OP) please do a search to find out just how much wrong or "bad" information people are getting from the CFOs. If they can't give me specifics they shouldn't be doing their job in their "make work" program over there.

What do I mean about their "make work" program? Google how their office came to be among other things. When you do you might realize why you're getting such bad information.
 
Someone had better call the cops on cabelas. They are selling loads of these prohib butler creek mags in Winnipeg.
Ask for this stuff in writing before posting it to the forums.
Honestly when you play telephone with the CFO things get missed and the right questions aren't asked and I think there are a lot of new people working for the CFO right now at their call centre in New Brunswick.

I didn't get it from a CFO I got it from a CFP tech who seems to be the person who interprets the laws. At least that is what I understood him to be saying.
 
The more stupid bans they do the better. More people will get mad at them so more people in the protest wagon! They seems to be getting pretty good at digging carreers graves...

How the hell is this going to be enforced? Seems a bit odd to throw that in there.

If they are saying this applies to the 715T and 10/22, it means one of two things:

A) All semi-auto rimfire rifles
B) All semi-auto rimfire rifles that have pistol variants

Option A they would basically being making rimfire have rules more similar to center fire. I don't really see any basis or reason for this, but they don't really need it as they do whatever they feel like.

Option B seems to be the more likely with how they've worded it to you. That being said, if what you are saying is true...nothing has changed. You say "all mags mentioned"...and only the BX-25 mag is mentioned. It's a well know fact that it is prohib. No other magazines are mentioned, so no other magazines are limited. The BX-25 is marketed as a magazine that works in a pistol, so (sadly/stupidly) they are correct in that regard.

No matter what, this doesn't add up. If they changed a law in 2008 (or in 2014 for that matter), how can there be no record of it? If ignorance isn't a defense, don't we need to have access to information like this?

It's no different than officers thinking LAR15 mags were illegal. Just because someone "in power" tells you information, doesn't mean it is right.

It is possible that when the tech heard "ruger" mags he was thinking bx25's and this is all just a misunderstanding?

The first thing I asked after he said that all 10/22 and Mossberg mags had to be pinned at 10 rounds was "Isn't that just the BX-25's?" He replied "No, all 10/22 and 715 mags had to be pinned because they fit the pistol versions of the guns." I said "but they don't even make the pistol versions anymore" and he replied "doesn't matter, there are some up here" I then said that "they still sell 25 rounders in every gun shop I have been in including one yesterday" and he replied that " we are still having troubles getting the word out but that is the rules"

No...When I spoke with the same tech I specifically heard him mention butlercreek 25 round mags for the 1022 were only allowed 10 rounds .

This is why I keep receipts. Doesn't change how detrimental the misinformed over at the "make work" project really are.
