RUGER Butler Creek 25's Mags, Did they just get hit by the 10 round mag limit?

Why should any foriegn arms maker cater to Canadian asinine laws? We're a drop in their bucket and they don't owe us nothin'.
Try placing the blame directly where it belongs. On us wimpy Canadians who won't stand up to our oppresive governments.

No real point in owning a 10/22 if you can't use 25 round magazines IMO.

A whole lot of us would disagree with you, but I agree that for a lot of people the whole appeal of semiauto rimfires like the 10/22 is the ability to use higher capacity magazines and shoot lots of cheap ammo. :)

Personally, I don't use the butler creek mags that I do have. I prefer to use the dozen or so Ruger factory 10 rounders that I have.

don't be so sure, I doubt the store pinned the mag, they would put t on the shelves the same way their "new" order came in

IF they didn't, then who did? No other shop in HRM have pinned BC Hot Lip/Steel Lips. IF IT was the case and WAS the law. YOU think ALL other shops would have pinned mags. I had a shop send me pictures of the hot lips in the baggy no rivet and the hard plastic that you can pull open w/o cutting. So THEY could easily open the package drilled and pop rivet it.
 
Someone misread bulletin #72 and over reacted. It mentions the Ruger BX-25 which was originally marketed for the Charger as well. BC is in the clear because they never marketed their magazines for use in the Charger. To further that point the bulletin covers magazines designed for use in one firearm but used in another. If your 25 rd 10/22 magazines happen to fit and work in a Charger then have at 'er friend. No different than putting 13 rds of 9mm in a .40 S&W mag and firing 13 rds out of your 9mm pistol or carbine.

Yeah sure the shop feeling pretty bad, when others say sorry you just drilled mags for no reason.

I find it rather sad and common that many easteners are very poorly informed about current gun laws. (I was born and raised there)
The HRM police attempted to get long gun owners to voluntarily register thier firearms after the LGR was officially...
Look at the recent demonization of airsoft owners by police and press in the HRM.

Many urban legends seem to persist there, IE-5 shot magazine limit for hunting with .303 LE.

This post does not surprize me. The absent but percieved gun terror factor is very popular/thick in the HRM.

Was it sealed? If the store pinned it themselves that still isn't legal in pretty sure. If it was done at importation that would be another story

I'm sure they had someone do it, since those boxes can be opened easy w/o cutting. Never seen a seal on any of the ones I bought. Open the 2 flaps and pull open.

Yeah I have to agree and I live here. There is still people thinking they dont need license to own guns, saying you cannot kill anything with a 303. Or a lot of I heard at CT. But I always say Canada end in Quebec. People forget the Martimes is part of Canada.

Alot of young un educated people and ALOT OF Old timers.

You could pin it yourself(if they had to be) and it'd be legal. Why not the store?

Yea I know, they have guns, yet have no license for them and no one is hurt. It's weird how that works.
 
I'll ask them if they wanna sell me a few for $5 a pop :D

By the way, the main reason I bought my 10/22 is for it to be an IPSC gun in a country that doesn't have mag capacity laws but prohibits centerfire autoloaders. If it turned out that I needed to pin the mags weeks before leaving Canada for a while, I would have been FURIOUS!!! Like **** those laws and the horse they rode in on! Why is the "gun-friendly" Conservative government doing ****all to fix them?
 
There have been repeated threads about this. Someone posted a letter from an RCMP firearms technician, basically saying any 10/22 magazine has to be pinned to 10.

Take that as you will.
