Ontario CFO says it is true, directly from RCMP.
Why in God's name are you SUGGESTING that they create a NEW law that would make it a CRIMINAL OFFENCE to use a RIFLE magazine in a PISTOL?
Like, come on. Well written letter, right up until the point you suggested making a new law that would throw SO MANY PEOPLE under the bus.
Do you not think that this new law of yours would make it so that you could also not legally use pistol mags in a rifle, because they are over the legal "rifle capacity"????
Local shop here still has them on-line and sells them in store as well.
I guess the RCMP haven't told Amazon Canada yet as they are still selling them.

I was using my 25 round magazines and my GSG 110 round drum up the mountain where I go plinking when another target shooter told me about it.
Where are the public announcements?

See my posts in other forms on this issue . The GSG 110 drum mag fits in the mag well of the Charge but won't lock in , just drops out(not that I'd know by trying it being a fine upstanding law abiding citizen)! , Now this has to be the one marked " Designed for Ruger 10/22 rifle ----- Canadian Model" So much for the pony solders doing their home work !
As a law abiding citizen you have every right to put the magazine into your pistol.... the law doesn't forbid that. Hence why you can use pistol mags in rifles and enjoy the larger (yet still neutured) capacity of the pistol mags.
The law is written such that it doesn't matter what the mags FIT into, nor does it matter what you PUT them into. It matters what they were designed or manufactured to fit into.
Hence, you could modify your charger stock to accept that drum mag, and it would be totally legal to do so. Hence why people can take an AR mag well for their SKS, VZ, SL8, or many other guns, and use 10 round pistol mags in a rifle, legally.
Do you have the link to this please?
here's how I see it:
the root issue here is the mag capacity laws.
So let's get our organizations (CSSA, CCFR, NFA, etc. etc.) to go after this hard, to show how stupid it is, and then use it as a springboard to change mag cap restrictions. Go after it as useless, ineffective laws that lead to ad-hoc modifications to firearms devices (the mags) different from how they were designed and manufactured to function. Push for allowing magazines to be allowed to be used at whatever capacity they were designed for. Back it up with statistics and evidence showing that mag cap isn't a factor in saving lives. Show that it's a broken system with loopholes and weird ways for people to become overnight paper criminals.
Magazines should have no restrictions. If you want, maybe throw in a provision saying it's illegal to modify a magazine yourself to hold more ammo or something, just to throw them a bone. Handguns and long guns should be no different in that regard, and there should be no difference between semi-autos and everything else.
Glad to see this stuff actually going somewhere though. maybe.

I would like to see this link too. As all I can find is a post on the website saying ALL 10/22 mags are limited to 10 rounds.
what if I cut a small notch in my 10/22 mag well, and then attached a raised tab to a >10 rd mag, which is keyed to fit that specific 10/22 mag well, but would prevent it from fitting any other 10/22 (ie Charger) without that custom notch?
I imagine the charge could still be laid, but when the firearms lab tried to insert the mag into a charger, it would not seat & therefore not capable of firing a projectile?
I'm no law-talkin' guy though.

you modified a prohibited device. the mag would need to be MADE for that rifle from scratch, IE new design.
