The way I see it, the mag might be legal in it's own right, but centerfire semi-auto rifles are limited to 5 regardless which mag it uses. In the case of pistol carbines they fall in between... when it runs rifle mags it's a semi-auto rifle, when it runs pistol mags it's a long barelled handgun. The mag can maybe made legal but it would not be legal to use in the AR-15. My 0.02$
What would you pay for legal full cap AR15 magazines?

Jesus it pisses me off repeating black letter law. Let me try a new approach.
Guns themselves do not have a capacity limit. Only the magazines do. They are limited based on the type of gun they are designed and manufactured for. A magazine designed and manufactured for use in a pump action gun has no limit. A magazine designed and manufactured for use in one gun does not become prohibited by virtue of being able to fit and function in another type of firearm.
Thanks, I feel better now.

It's all about interpretation. It will depend on how the RCMP interpret the law as it applies to your mag circumstance. I say based on past interpretation, you don't stand a chance in hell of making it happen.....but hey, I'ld love to be proven wrong on this one, honestly...
Based on what we have seen happen in recent times, I see no reason why it wouldn't be possible. Interpretation of "commonly available" aside, we have 10 round magazines legal for use in the CX4 Storm, and recently 10 round magazines for 9mm ARs. As long as the magazine is not developed specifically for the AR-15 platform, whether it happens to work with it seems to be irrelevent.gunasauras said:
Go for it Armedsask.
I plan to but I wouldn't hold your breath.sone said:
I had an idea n how to reduce cost. The feed lips and locking aread would be metal but the rest of the mag would plastic. As much as I want to have metal mags, I think the cost would just be too great. I think a plastic mag with steel reinforced lips would be good, depending on the plastic of course.

make the mags with a small bump on the spine. if it doesn't fit an AR but only a 7615 then it is NOT an AR mag
you can then grind a small portion of the inside of the AR to fit the mag.
remember, the mag can't be modified, but the gun is free game!!
"commonly available"- why not just sell the mags with the knocked together gun, that way everyone who has the mags has the gun they fit. You could sell the rifle and say 35 mags for each. That would make it hard to argue with. Guys who really want them will pay.(if the mags make their way on to the secondary market without the gun, that can't be blamed on the manufacturer- after all they were only sold with the gun)

You can't win on this unless you get the government on your side. The LAW is written so loosie goosey and in such piss poor English that you could drive a truck sideways through it. The only problem is that the regulations are made up on the fly by RCMP bureaucrats; the sort that saw nothing wrong with sending "information" about M. Arar to the Yanks. "Wasn't their fault, never is".
I was thinking something exactly along those lines. A rib, bump, or some other thing on the side of the mag well that prevents insertion in AR15 unless you modify the rifle.P0WERWAGON said:

if something like this was produced i would be interested in owning one of the "knocked together" rifles as well as the magazines. I do not own an AR (yet) but i think the possibility would make it worth while. I don't know how much i would pay... but if Armedsask makes one then someone has to buy it to make it commercially available. and i would not be adverse to being that person.
