(ii) is a rifle of the type commonly known as the “Lee Enfield” rifle, where the magazine cannot hold more than 10 rounds of the type for which the magazine was originally designed, or Everyone knows that sometimes you can put more than 9mm in a .40S&W magazine (up to 13 rounds), but here is the legal basis for that. 10/22 magazines, S&W M&P 15-22, H&K 416-22, Browning Buckmark magazines. The RCMP interprets that if a semi-automatic rimfire magazine fits into a handgun, it is not simply a rimfire rifle magazine under paragraph 3(1)(a), but a handgun magazine under paragraph 3(1)(b), which is always limited to 10 rounds of ammunition and does not benefit from the ring fire exception in subparagraph 3(2)(a)(i). The Ruger BX-25 magazine, designed for the 22 LR caliber with firing rim, is designed and manufactured for use in the following areas: One thing we must mention is centerfire cartridge magazines designed and manufactured for use in both semi-automatic rifles and semi-automatic handguns according to paragraph two of Special Bulletin for Business #72. Since the magazine is not specific to the intended firearm, its capacity is limited to five rounds of ammunition, whether or not it is used in a pistol. According to the regulations, magazines must be stamped so that the firearm or calibre intended is identified on the magazine itself. You don`t have to worry if you plan to buy suitable magazines for this purpose. Given strict import regulations and magazine manufacturing restrictions in Canada; You can rest assured that magazines, provided they were purchased from a reputable retailer or distributor, comply with Canadian firearms laws and regulations. But given the way things seem to work, it`s never a bad thing to check first. There`s really no conclusion or satisfactory opinion about .50 Beowulf/.458 Socom AR magazines, but that`s the information as I know it. The RCMP considers them to be “dual-use” magazines and must therefore not contain more than 5 rounds of 5.56×45 NATO ammunition in accordance with paragraph 3(1)(a). But others consider them as 5 Beowulf / .458 Socom Magazine cartridges, which fit 5.56×45 NATO cartridges. Our first design was a Glock .40 S&W.
From the beginning, we realized that Glock magazine was not the most cooperative and proved difficult to load compared to the others in which we achieved the feature. We managed to put 11 cartridges in the magazine, which liked to tip over during the process and required some adjustments. When manually unloading, the spring pressure combined with the relatively large feed lips (.384″ at the front and .377″ at the rear) made the ability to eject two cartridges simultaneously a potential problem during use. With options for use in pistol-caliber rifles such as the Kel-Tec Sub-2000, JR Carbine or Thureon Carbine, it might be worth testing to take full advantage of the extra cartridges. However, the effort in a gun for a single cartridge is probably not worth it. I said I would do another news post at some point, so here are Canada`s journal laws. There are also other options and limitations. Notably, the fate of the .50 Beowulf loader was in the hands of the RCMP at the time of publication.
If you haven`t heard of it, Alexander Arms took a .50 Action Express and developed the .50 Beowulf cartridge for its .50 AR-15 chamber. Gun enthusiasts in Canada who were already familiar with the laws surrounding magazine capacity recognized the STANAG format magazine, which is specifically stamped for .50 Beowulf cartridges. Since the tracking plate is essentially no different from any other STANAG magazine, Beowulf`s previously stacked five cartridges essentially allowed for a .223 to up to ten rounds of ammunition with full functionality in a standard AR-15 rifle. If you are looking for one, in addition to the fact that they are already hard enough to get, we should warn you to wait for a decision to be made. Since they are verified, their use is actually prohibited. For those of you who have one, don`t worry. So as long as you don`t use it, we understand that it is not considered a prohibited device. • a) that may contain more than five cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed and which is intended for use in For “loopholes”, these are real gaps, unforeseen areas of law that lead to strange borderline cases. A typical example is the M14/AIA charger limit of 10 turns for a manual action charger instead of no limit at all. The maximum allowable capacity of a magazine is determined by the type of firearm for which it is designed or manufactured, not by the type of firearm it could actually use. Therefore, the maximum allowable capacity remains the same regardless of the firearm in which it may be used.
Example: The Marlin Camp carbine for .45 ACP uses magazines designed and manufactured for the M1911 pistol, so seven and eight rounds are allowed. A similar example is the 10-round magazine for the Rock River Arms LAR-15 pistol, regardless of the type of firearm in which it is actually used. [41] I also bought a Mossberg 500 shotgun with a 5-shot +1 gun mag in the chamber (6 in total). If I fully charge up to 6, is it legal? If I buy a bigger tube magazine to get 8+1, is it legal? As I understand it, shotguns were not limited to a single magazine. This also means that the magazine must be a designed handgun magazine and why no AR-15 magazine can be called a handgun magazine, since it was not “originally designed or manufactured for use in a semi-automatic handgun,” but the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle such as Magpul PMAGS. Internally, the RCMP believes that the .50 Beowulf and .458 Socom chargers are “dual-use” magazines because they are modified .223/5.56×45 AR-15 chargers and not specifically .50 Beowulf/.458 Socom magazines. That`s why they believe the .50 Beowulf semi-automatic magazine, which can hold more than 5 rounds of 5.56×45, is a banned device. The opposite opinion is that if you read the sum of the regulations and design history, the .50 Beowulf magazine was originally designed and designed or manufactured for a .50 Beowulf semi-automatic firearm, so it cannot hold more than 5 rounds of .50 Beowulf.50 Beowulf magazines are not originally designed as a 5.56×45 NATO magazine, They should therefore not be subject to a limit of 5 rounds of ammunition for any other type of ammunition. The following examples help explain the maximum allowable capacity of cartridge magazines designed or manufactured for use in more than one type of firearm. While the law governing magazine capacity is about as specific as legislators might, it is impossible to create a law that can comprehensively regulate the precise use of hundreds of different types of magazines in conjunction with the thousands of different types of firearms that exist in this country. Not surprisingly, this has led to areas where the language of the law is inadequate and, as some have suggested, there is a “loophole.” However, the opposite is true.
The capacity of the magazine is regulated by law in the Criminal Code, a prescribed cartridge magazine is considered a prohibited device. CCC p.84 (1) Definitions; Prohibited device (d). Now we can see that this ban only applies to semi-automatic and automatic firearms magazines. Manual action magazines are not listed in the general prohibitions and are therefore not regulated.
