clearly the cfo has it confussed with the ruger bx-25 magazine that fits the ruger charger other wise the mossberg tactical 22 could not be sold with the 25rnd mags theyre info is just plain wrong
I sure hope its a mistake on their end, but if anyone else would care to call and confirm that would be helpfull. I will try and call again and hopefully get a differnt response. anyways i will reply later tonight with any updates on my end.
That's basically it. If you're not comfortable with the 25 round magazines then stick with the 10, but you are fully within the law with either.
Target, if a rimfire rifle magazine is designed and also described for use in a pistol then it is prohibited unless pinned to ten rounds. Example is the Ruger BX25, it's a 25 round mag but since it packaged and describes that it fits the Ruger Charger 10/22 it must be pinned to ten rounds or it's prohibited.
I'm referring to the (rimfire)capacity and not the application. Rimfire rifles have no capacity restriction unless as was mentioned, the magazine can also be used in a restricted firearm as well.
The Mossberg magazine only fits Mossberg rifles.
Per the RCMP:
"Magazines designed to contain rimfire cartridges and designed or manufactured for use in a rifle do not have a regulated capacity. However, magazines designed to contain rimfire cartridges and designed or manufactured for use in a semiautomatic handgun are limited to 10 cartridges. Magazines designed or manufactured for use in both rifles and semiautomatic handguns are subject to the handgun limit of 10 cartridges.
Example:
Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 rifle and 15-22P pistol chambered for 22LR caliber:
the 10 round magazine is unregulated
the 25 round magazine is a prohibited device"
Was a thread recently posted that these magazines fit another rifle if they have a tab cut into them, but it was still used in ANOTHER RIMFIRE RIFLE, so perfectly legal.
Found it, a Zastava-Z5.

"Semi auto centerfire rifles are limited to 5 shot to remain non restricted". No. Magazines designed and manufactured for use in semi auto centerfire rifles are limited to 5 rounds.
"restricted handguns are limited to 10 shot". No. Magazines designed and manufactured for use in handguns are limited to 10 shots.
"the magazines can be used in a restricted firearm as well". Not restricted firearm. Handgun. There are restricted firearms that are not handguns.
Is there a pistol which uses the Mossberg magazine? Either there is or there isn't. Which is it?
Even if there were such a pistol, is the magazine in question labelled and advertised as being usable in both the rifle and the pistol?
If not, it is a rifle magazine.
The Ruger magazine is limited to 10 rounds.
Other magazines for Ruger rifles are not.

Clause #4 in this bulletin says it all. Mossberg doesn't make a handgun, so even if you could jam the 25rd mag into some other gun and make it function, that's not the original intent of the mag. Yer Clear!, now go have fun.
