when mossberg 715 pistol version was introduced and the 25 round mags for them became prohibited mossberg offered an exchange program to trade for 10 round mags. Wonder if ruger will do the same. I suppose probably not because the 10/22 mags are butler creek and not a ruger product
 
considering they went ahead and banned the 715 hi cap mags and never changed their mind.. I'm pretty sure this will end up the same way for our beloved 10/22s

First of all, the CSSA recommends that no one pin or modify these mags until the issue is resolved. There is still some hope that this idiotic ruling can be overturned.

Second, why bother to pin a 25 round mag to ten and pack that dead awkward weight around? Just get a regular 10 round mag.

One can ask the same question for AR 30/40/60/100 round magazines that are pinned to 5.

Exactly! Un-adult members calling people sheep when they themselves pinned all their 30 rounders back in the days of Bill C-68.

I actually got out of the hobby at that time, and just now getting back into it. I'd just buy factory 10 rounders from the start and forget the iffy feed issues of after market mags.

This is the real reason to be limited to ten

Oh, I thought it was about "Public Safety". Why can't the Lieberals just be straight with us for once? They were really just trying to help us use reliable mags instead of being frustrated with feeding issues.... How considerate of them.
