Despite the looming mess in the US and the fact that public opinion is currently "less gun friendly" than six months prior . . .

It has actually been a pretty good year for gun owners in Canada. We were freed of the LGR, have seen some exciting new imports, and:

We're fixing the magazine issue ourselves it seems. Or, Armtac is.

Those 50 beowulf magazines work, and work well. I used a USGI and a Polymer in this video:


Here's looking forward to 2013 :cheers:
 
I was just coming on here to try to find out the status of these! Mine are still back ordered :( Anyone have any idea when the next shipment of these comes in?
 
I wouldnt call this fixing the magazine issue at all. Its pretty sad, actually. Still better than 5, or 10, I guess.
 
Ok.... I'm the :bigHug::bigHug::bigHug::bigHug::bigHug::bigHug::bigHug: but I think a better backstop might look better in the video. Other that the mags look like fun.

If you think they're ever going to allow standard (or extended) capacity magazines again... you're dreaming. I think 15-rounds is about the maximum we'll be able to get with this type of magazine, and it's unrealistic to entertain the possibility that they'll approve a 10-round pistol version. It's also unlikely they'll revisit the legislation anytime soon, because for the most part rifles/pistols are limited to 5/10-rounds and there are very few types of rifles that fall outside of this.

I can see you're point looking at the cameras view. But trust me I know that area very well, and that area is a well established range. The downrange backstop is in the trees, but its a massive hill and solid as can be.
 
Nicely done, thanks for making that.
So, just to confirm- what is the absolute maximum amount of .223 you're able to cram into there?
 
It is better than a 10 round pistol mag but being a guy that had an AR15 before they were restricted and before stupid mag laws it doesn't excite me much more than a 10 round mag, full capacity mags would be a different story.
 
This is def sad that we have to stuff wrong ammo to squeeze a couple extra rounds but I really think we shouldn't go around beating the drums about it...I know its no secret or anything illegal but we dont need busy bodies to find more things to "gasp" over.

Yes, well... wishing and wanting won't make it so. Still a marked improvement from the situation as it was in 1991...

No, it's *awesome*. It the people involved in drafting the legislation were actually competent we'd still be stuck at 5 rounds. There's nothing "illegal", and this isn't a "loophole" that can be closed off. We're simply availing ourselves of the laws as written. You don't voluntarily pay more income tax, do you? ;)

Who's kidding who here? Do you honestly think those in charge of all this nonsense can't conjure up a few words that would effectively counter the current wording? All of our laws are based on you just can't do certain things, and if you do and get caught you get to go to jail for a while. I think we should all let sleeping dogs lie before too much attention is drawn to this.

The RCMP would have to go back on their word. They've explicitly said this is okay to do.

You mean like the Walther 22 and Norinco bullpup rifles that were banned and confiscated after they were okay'd by the RCMP and sold in Canada, don't kid yourself. When the stupid laws started, OIC's ruled the day and firearms and mags were banned with no opposition.
