Meanwhile, the BC mags were patented in 1978, more than 20 years before the charger existed. An argument can be made that all BC mags manufactured after the charger was released are charger mags, however that same argument makes no sense for all the magazines produced before the charger got released, because how can a magazine be manufactured or designed for a gun that does not exist yet?

The question becomes : how could an LEO, a crown prosecutor, or a judge be able to tell the difference between BC mags that were manufactured the day before the charger pistol was, and BC mags that was manufactured the day after?

Youza.

Last I checked, that's their job. I'm innocent until proven guilty, if they think I've committed a crime they need to prove it. If they can't prove that my mag is made post-charger then I have broken no laws.

The Bx25 was invented AFTER the charger. Therefore, it is designed and manufactured for both the charger and 10/22, and must be pinned to 10.

I get your point. So now what? Carbon date mags to see if RCMP can lay charges? The mags were designed for the 10/22 receiver NOT the Charger specifically. Saying that it works with a Charger was simply marketing.

Since words on a box kicked all this BS off, all BX25 mags sold in Canada should have a sticker with the words "Not for use in the 10/22 Charger". There ya go; imaginary damage has been undone.

unfortunately its not that simple. Justice system need to be able to make clear determination to deem what is a prohibited device and what isn't.
If two mags are identical, cannot be told appart, and both fit in the same gun, you can bet your top dollar both will be deemed prohibited. Owner might get off due to their legality when acquired with proof of purchase + the lack of criminal intent, but I'm willing to take bets the mags would still be deemed prohib and destroyed.

found the cop ^:p

joking! but seriously the cops at my range are really tired of getting asked about this everytime they do some range days. They are as confused as we are as there are cogent arguments on both sides

Lol im not a cop, and im just as upset as the majority about this situation. Im merely trying to be objective, and IMO the way the law is written is the true culprit here, not the rcmp. And im upset about that too, because getting the law changed is a lot more difficult and complex than winning a court case against a law enforcement agency.

You all realize that the same rules that apply here is what allows to have 10 round LAR-15 magazines?

A good solution would be to abolish rimfire magazine restriction on pistols... The thought of un-restricted PMR-30 in 22mag? Mmmmm

And I would be the first one to support the Abolishment of magazine restrictions altogether! But that isn't likely to occur anytime soon.

"RCMP guy" is reading your comment and just spit his coffee all over his monitor. "holy hell boys, I just realized that LAR mags can be used in AR-15s!!!" Add it to the ban list!

Also the LAR-15 mags have "LAR-15" on the side and were manufactured for the AR pistol. If anyone even breathes the words "designed for the AR-15" when talking about the LAR, this little area of technicality will evaporate and we will lose the LAR.

This situation is really a very simple one for the Butler Creek and Gsg mags, they are completely 110% legal. The only thing people need to worry about is being harassed by an organization that know's it is operating outside of the law. Those who aren't rich can easily be bullied into compliance by legal fees. That's Canada :canadaFlag:

Now, the BX25's, that's a little more complicated. I personally wouldn't purchase one because it's a very grey area.
 
We just got some Ruger Mini 14 30/5 mags in stock & some Mini 14 100/5 drums, HERE

We have another shipment in 2 weeks or so of the other mags.....
 
i see ZERO Mini 30 mags,haven't seen any in a long time,having to resort to bringing some in from the US isn't fun,takes me to long to get,it would be nice to see genuine Ruger 20/5 mags actually in Canada, at a reasonable price,or at least close to what we're paying from US vendors,
