Remington 760 Mag

[Ardathian]

Anyone out there come across 10 shot magazines for a 760 pump in Canada? Would these be legal or would it have to be pinned to 5?

IMO, if the 10 round magazine is stamped for use in both the 742 and 760 Remingtons, it has to be pinned for 5, but if the magazine is intended and identified for use in the 760 only, a 10 round capacity is legal.

Shops will not order them in Canada because thy fit both semi and pump guns.

Remember when Home Hardware had those 10 rounders in their catelog.

It doesn't have to be stamped for it to be illegal. It can be marketed for use in both and it would fall into the same category.

I wouldn't bother with a ten shot mag in your 760. I always found that the mag catches on the higher capacity mags became worn very quickly causing feeding issues.

If you really have to have one......look around....a few guys still have old Collier mags for 760s, that they might part with. But legally they should still be pinned at five rounds.

Not only that, but a drop mag makes a one-handed carry very uncomfortable if not impossible and adds considerable weight to the rifle with a full mag.

There is no practical advantage for a 10 shot mag for a big game sporting rifle.

I was curious about getting one for boar hunting which I know almost nothing about. I was thinking the extra capacity might be nice in case one took a run at ya, but if the 10 shot mag would have to be pinned to 5 anyway there is no advantage. For deer I've never needed more than one or two shots per season in the field.

I have 3 magazines for mine. Never needed the extras in a hunting situation, but a friend had a 742 30-06 with two magazines. He encountered 2 cows and a young bull moose. Started shooting, dropped both cows and was charged by the bull. Dropped it at a distance of about 10 feet and had one cartridge left.

How does one get to shoot three moose w/o poaching?

1) party hunting is legal in Ontario, or
2) natives can shoot anything that moves

Status Card in his case, but we actually had enough tags in the party. Many years ago, when you could still get tags. Those were the GOOD OLD DAYS.
