In all fairness I don't think you're seeing the whole picture.
When the LAR mags first came into production there were two units put in front of the RCMP a 10/10 and a 10/20. The 10/20 was refused for the DFAIT import permit while the 10/10 was good to go.
Without admittedly truly knowing the reasoning that ATRS has their base thermally welded, I have to assume it's a hurtle put up in order to be allowed for importation as this is a 10/20 body. Even a "small" modification such as thermal welding raises costs, and I can assure you that no business wants to look for reasons to raise their costs of production arbitrarily. There has to be reason that ATRS had this done that isn't apparent as they sell riveted 5/30 PMag and trust the purchaser to be law abiding.
Just my observation on the matter, perhaps I could be wrong but it seems logical to me. If ATRS didn't trust it's client base then they'd be better off with government contracts only, or making doilies.
What loki_81 said pretty nails it IMO.
I would definitely be interested in a .50 Beowulf upper from you Rick.
That is a bit of an understatement, imo.
I need a AT15 .50Beowulf pistol...... need.

It is the government bodies we do not trust. They do NOT put anything in black and white to define the parameters of what they will accept, SO we have to cover all the bases and work with the assertion of what if?
A few years ago we sent a lower receiver to the RCMP lab in Ottawa, using duct tape to attach an AR upper to it they managed to get it to fire a primed casing. Despite the fact that if the lab rat had fired a live round rather than just a primed case, the bolt would have caught him in the head a micro second after the hammer struck, they still deemed it restricted.
With this sort of "well this could happen" scenario to contend with we prefer consider the absolutely most outlandish possibility .
Very solid answer Rick. Just to be clear I was on your side with my explanation and the doily comment was purely a joke
.Those are ###y pistol mags, the 20 round body is very appealing.
