So, they say that the larger capacity mags for the Chaipa M4-22 and the S&W 15-22 can be used in a pistol version (S&W rep told me at Shot Show that as far as he knew no one from Canada had ordered one) are prohibs now. So, by that reasoning then the Ruger 22 Charger pistol that can take 10/22 mags should have the same ruling???

answer on the 10/22 is NO, Ruger does not make a high capacity magazine, they are all aftermarket mags. On the other hand you are prohibited from inserting a unpinned high capacity mag in the Ruger Charger.

Hope this helps
 
No. Ruger only offers 10 round magazines for pistol and for rifle.
The aftermarket manufacturers who produce large magazines for the 10/22 do not advertise, promote or market them for use in the Charger. These magazines are therefore rifle magazines, and exempt from the 10 shot limit. The day that a maker advertises his magazine as being for the Charger or for the 10/22 and the Charger, that magazine will likely be ruled a prohibited device.
 
It is a sad state of affairs that firearms owners are at the mercy of such an overpaid and under educated collection of "num-nuts" who don't seem to have any issues with the random banning of firearms and magazines solely based on their appearance.

Maybe they go to sleep at night and pat themselves on the back that they have saved humanity from the evil rimfire magazines which otherwise would surely have lead to mass destruction on a global level..lol :)
 
I realize that ruger itself doesnt make the higher cap mags. My problem is what possible reasoning could they have for saying that because they are aftermarket then the same rule doen't apply. Their rulings on this make no sense whatsoever. I realize that I am applying a basic human trait to this, common sense, and that there appears to be none of it with the people making these rulings!
 
While it is fashionable to accuse the RCMP of making up the rules as they go along, they are doing nothing more than applying the letter of the law. The problem is with the law, not with the agency mandated to enforce the law.

Why not let it be?

The only thing that will come from this is pinned 10 round 10/22 mags.

I really like my 25 round mag for my 10/22. Please let me keep it.
 
I agree, except it for what it is and STFU, if and when they figure out how many high capaicity mags there are for the ruger they may have a change of heart and decide that they shuld all be pinned just because on the slight slim chance someone would be so inclined to use on in the charger. Its their lack of common sense and good judgement that makes these rules apply, when and if you try to eduacate them they will probably just change the laws to suit what your saying.
 
The 10/22 mags were designed for the rifle and happen to fit a charger designed later. They are legal. In the case of the M&P 15/22, S&W advertised the pistols with an over 10 capacity and and as such the mags are prohib. The same law that lets you have 25 rounds in your 10/22 prohibits it from allowing 25 in your M&P.

Again, this is incorrect. Mags are either prohibited or they are not prohibited. It doesn't suddenly become prohibited depending on where it's located (outside of a pistol or inside of a pistol).
 
I suppose we all know that we should all just stop talking about this 10/22 high cap. mags so we don't get our nuts cut off by the RCMP/GRC (Gravel Road Cops)
As a previous poster already said, I too like my high capacity aftermarket 10/22 mags and therefore the more questions we all ask about this ruling, and why they don't include the aftermarket 10/22 mags the more ideas we give them, lets not help the GRC's make another stupid law.
Lets face it, if we only had 10 rounds or 5 rounds in our .22lr rifle mags at one time. what fun would it be to even have them.?
Lets let a sleeping dog lie.
