No 20rd AIA magazines afterall

that they view the AIA Enfield magazine as a "Dual use" magazine with the M14 rifle

That's subjective.

Canadian law states its about what the magazine is INTENDED for, which is the bolt action rifle.

Someone needs to sue.

Making up their own rules again.

Course it didn't help all the DA people talking about the M14 in the thread. I actually have and like my AIA. Nice rugged gun for the wet coast. I just changed my order to three 10's.

Same same.

Never was impressed that my AIA only came with one mag, now there will be 4.
 
Like we would say in Quebec french: tabarn*k.

I just can't believe this. Why don't they ban 10-round 5.56 LAR mags while they're at it. They're f'in playing with words here.

What if the mags were STAMPED AIA Enfield?
 
This is a joke. There is no law to support this decision. How would it go down in court if someone unpinned their AIA mag to full capacity? I don't see how there could be a conviction.

Except for this law, which the RCMP are leaning on...

Specifically, the "not more than ten" part.

It is debatable, but of course the test of any law is via the courts. Any interpretation less than a judges is just that, an interpretation.

But, who wants to go before the judge?
 
I can't help but wonder if NRM and all of us shot this one in the foot by announcing it so prematurely. Obviously the RCMP monitors this board and keeps tabs on everything we are saying. The discussion months in advance all to get a couple bucks in the door from pre-orders. NRM next time don't say anything until you have them in country, ready to ship the next day, then the red coats can't do a damn thing about it if you ship 10,000 mags in a day.
 
"However, the RCMP have indicated that Section 84 of the Criminal Code of Canada's states that rather than the typical five (5) round limit for semiautomatic rifles, a permissible capacity of ten (10) rounds for the Lee-Enfield rifle applies to the AIA Enfield rifle instead of the five (5) rounds typically associated with magazines that can be used in a semi-automatic firearm."

Interesting phrasing. However, the law clearly states "designed for" not "can be used in".
It has nothing to do with what you put the magazine in. The magazine is either prohibited , or not.
It doesn't matter what you put in it, nor what you put it in.
The magazine is the prohibited device, not your intentions of use.

Absolute bull Sh!t.

Everyone with an Ishapore 2A better get those 12 round mags pinned to ten! :confused:
 
I wonder if a few extra dollars spent on stamping "AIA M10 7.62x51" would have made a difference here.

It certianly would have made a difference during any appeal process.
 
How about "FIT'S AIA 7.62MM BOLTACTION RIFFLE".
That didn't work last time.
How many people remember that gong show?

wouldn't make a difference. Look at what they did with the Sig Black Special/Green line. Let them in for 12 years, let people buy them by the thousands, and then said: "oop's, sorry, they're prohib...turn them in or else!"

the RCMP have shown their true colours: they are capricious and CANNOT be trusted.
