Will it be legal to load 10 rounds in a Sub2000?

Semi auto non restricted centerfire rifle with a 10 rounds Glock mag? How is it legal?

Is the magazine a Glock pistol magazine? Is the magazine designed and manufactured for use in a Glock pistol? If so, the magazine is legal.
The firearm in which the Glock pistol magazine is used is irrelevant. The firearm for which the magazine was designed and manufactured is the only relevant issue.

It is not a matter of 'will it', rather 'is it'. And as long as you are using a pistol magazine, yes. Why? Because under the Canadian Firearms Act, firearms do not have magazine load limitations, only magazines do.

If the firearm in which the mag is used is irrelevant, how do they decide if a magazine can hold 10 rds or 5 rds? The caliber?

It's not the current use of the magazine, it's what the original design and manufactured use of the magazine.

In this case the mags were designed and made for a Glock handgun... thus the mag falls under the 10 round handgun law. If you happen to have a rifle that accepts handgun magazines then yes you are legal. I didn't write the laws I only follow them, reluctantly.

it's the GUN the mag was ORIGINALLY designed for- ie if it was a 10 round mag for a beretta, then that's thecapacity- if the mag just HAPPENS to fit a bunch of others, and gives those a 10 round capacity, it is IRRELEVANT- that's why those 10 rounder lar mags can be sold - they were DESIGNED for PISTOL use, and the fact that they just happen to fit in an ar magwell is just a happy COINCIDENCE as far as the law is concerned

Just another nail in the coffin.... but yeah, it doesnt matter what firearm you use the mag in..... the laws of limits apply to the mag not the gun.

My Rob Arms XCR is non-restricted and uses 10 round AR mags... HK SL8 can too.

...too bad they don't make these LAR 10 round mags in a 10/20 config for PISTOL use. The longer length of the mag would look decent on an AR.

The concept of a 10/30 was specifically rejected.
