whats the real deal with lar-15 mags

I also use The STANAG based magazines for my other conversions. To be precise i converted my Marlin XS7 223 bolt action to use the LAR15 mags, and i've converted the SKS to use the XCR-L pistol mag.

Its a cool concept, all diff ammo using the same dimension magazines.
 
Boy, I wish AA would release a pistol version of the 50 Beowulf with magazines specifically marked as being for the pistol variant.

In 2017, when Alexander Arms goes out of business and gives up the .50 Beowulf name, then maybe we can get a Canadian company to start working on it.

But I agree with Blaxsun on this one. Lets have fun with what we have.

I've actually posted about the .50 mags on two US forums already and both threads were deleted within a few hours. There's some serious tin-foiling down there right now.

If the Tavor isn't an option due to the cost, that probably also excludes the XCR-L and Swiss Arms as well (possibly the MR1). The T97 isn't here (yet), so I think we're down to the SU-16F and CSA VZ-58 with adapter.

I answered. Forgot about the SU-16 though.

What non-restricted rifles actually for sale in Canada can these magazines be used in? There's the AR180B, but I can't find them listed for sale. There's the Tavor, but I can't afford one. What else takes a STANAG magazine that I don't have to get a restricted licence for?

May I suggest that you do some reading on the topic. If you really want one of these rifles to buy, then you'll need to do some reading anyhow.

THIS

I always have problems with members that pop up with random digit user names, seems there always the same ones to answer my WTB ads for hard to find items. member 12986 says " I have 2 of those, but I could sell you one" 124.001 says " ive got one how much you looking to spend" always with zero trader rating of course.
 
Let's see if I can get this somewhat back on target. I just dropped a deposit on a T97, and I grabbed two LAR mags as well. Why the big scramble for 5/30 pmags and the like when you can get ten rounds in a LAR? Is it just for the authentic look?

I am looking forward to running ten in a semi, of course I am used to it on my Enfields :D.

So are you saying that AA has rights to the 50 beowulf caliber? Why couldn't a canadian company make an 50 beowulf pistol?

Why is the sky blue? A: God ran out of lime green. Any other brilliant questions? I think we should start using tag words like "LAR15" and "Beowulf" as litmus tests to determine if people should be able to own black rifles... FML.

I don't think this is correct. Making a gun that shoots a certain caliber most likely does not infringe on copyrights or patents. Making an identical rifle MAY infringe on them, but making one that shoots that caliber most likely does not. That being said, it seems that no one has any copyright or patent hold over the AR15 design, so one could be manufactured to shoot that caliber. Calling it a "Beowulf" rifle could get you into legal trouble as far as trademarks but creating an AR15 calibered in .50 Beowulf most likely would not. It would be very difficult to have a patent granted to protect that.


Also, late to the party on the LAR questions, but the RCMP also have the bulletin (or a similiar one) that they sent questar on their website. This clearly states that the magazines capacity is in regards to the caliber it was manufactured for (regardless of it being for a pistol or rifle - it just so happens that pistols are allowed to legally hold more). This was also directly mentioned in the verifier's course I took from the RCMP. http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/bulletins/bus-ent/20110323-72-eng.htm

ok. but in building a rifle you would have to stamp it with the caliber(for no other reason than information purposes!!) If they have trademarked the name beowulf, would even stamping the rifle or component with that might be a trademark infringement? Even if the rifle was called the death star or something...lol

If that was the case, no rifle could ever shoot Rem/Win cartridges :cool:
