Ask CA - 10 Round Mags Explained and More 

Thanks!!

I know.

Yes, I got an apology a half-assed one but still got one.

I glad you got your rifle back. The mountie could have stepped up at any point. Just as much to blame. I'd love to chat with you about it if you have a few minutes. Email me at info@civiladvantage.com if you want.

I emailed you on here, i hope anyways

luise cobian You guys can use firearms for self defence, we can't even use self defence. The Criminal Code says "within reasonable force" but for the court and RCMP nothing's reasonable.

SuperFatbastard69 don't you guys have a lower crime rate compared to california.so what would I care if for the extreamly rare time I would actually need for defense I would go to jail.

Welllll I wouldn’t go that far. It’s very close but the restrictions in Canada are terrible

@@drvelocci still better than California.

get a beretta magazine, it will fit in it, and then just put 10 in, its legal.

Yes. LAR15 magazines are still legal for sale/use. Good luck finding any in stock.

***** you can buy vz58 10 round mags online

Civil Advantage you had an sks there what is the law on the mag capacity for that, because they are manufatcured with a 10 rnd magazine, do they have to be limited to 5 rnds or can you use the full capacity

+Civil Advantage Yea I was also wondering about the SKS laws surrounding the 10rnd detachable mags? do they still have to be pinned like the 20rnd and 30rnd and so on? or can you use a 10rnd detachable mag unpinned in the sks?

ZGutta DBC 5 rounds only.

Civil Advantage That's what I thought. But thank you for clearing that up 100% for me. I'm new to the wonderful world of shooting. And the "Five Round Frustration" is real!! lol

Baldeagle77 yes every few years to every 5 years

NO ... the LAR-15 and the .50 Beowulf mags (which hold 13-14 rounds of .223) are legal in an AR-15 because they're legal in Canada in the first place, & any mag that works in any firearm is legal, if the mag is legal in Canada. Legal means, 10 rounds of the designed cartridge for pistol, 5 rounds of the designed cartridge for long guns. ... if more fit in it of a different cartridge, that's legal If the Mag isn't stamped and permanently marked from the manufacturer and sold as a 10 round pistol mag, or 5 round long-gun mag, then it's prohibited and will land you in jail. you can't use generic 10-20 p-mags.

+Evil11 11  no.. rim fires are excluded, you can have a ruger 10/22 with 100 round drum mag and be legal... there is no restriction for round count in a rim fire...

Yes. It does state that. Getting kind of ridiculous unfortunately up here in the Great White North eh. It's basically like saying "we trust you. Kind of. But not enough that we want you to make decisions. We better make them for you" because with the Alberta gun grab, the CZ 858 and more recently the 10/22 magazine limitations they have certainly shown us just how responsible they are with making decisions.

that has no bearing on the LAR-15, the magazines are STAMPED LAR-15, and are manufactured for the PISTOL, and NOT Pistol/Rifle BOTH. the law is unchanged.

All I want to know is it legal to run a 10 round australian enfield mag in a norinco m305/m14 based on the discussion only way to know is to call the rcmp even though they are sold on Canadian websites listed as for the m14/m305. Canada needs to make there firearms laws less confusing....

+Leadjunkie that's legal

good luck explaining that to low level rcmp officers following their sergeant's orders.

you don't have to explain... let them take it then show them the law and make a public mockery of them..

+Walker L but you get charged and then have to pay to get charges burnt. pain in the ass.

a smartphone with google can prove this within minutes if need be... I keep NRA bookmarked in my browser...tonnes of good useful info

I don't know anyone who has an MR1...sadly.

I don't know anyone who has a MR1 sadly...

Joaly nocontroly Thanks Man! And thanks for watching.

Max Power I think Mossberg makes a proprietary 10 round mag for this rifle, at least when you buy this rifle in the States it comes with one.

Victor, only up to 5 rounds. The 10 round thing is for pistol mags.

Civil Advantage thank you Rob, love the videos...its funny being from B.C I never heard about this incident up in Squuamish, but it doesn't surprise me unless it bad or tragic firearms news it never makes the news!!!!....thanks again for the clarification Rob!!!

Is the info in this video still valid /relevant since the 10/22 high cap magazine boondoggle? If Rugar printed "rifle magazine" on the magazines would they be legal in Charger pistols? [Edit] especially post "[INSPECTION REPORT CASE NUNIBER GFC-200(b7-1-CARTRIDGE N'MAGAZINE - 50 BEOWULF CALIBRE ALEXANDER ARNIS]", how does your advice change?

You could snap the rivet off with your hands if you took the mag apart. Our laws have no logic, they know very well tha this law stops 0 crime, it's all about virtue signaling and winning votes.

Couplers? If that's what you mean, no problem.

not couplers, they sell wedges for glock mags and lar mags to connect them end to end

Yes, they are fine. They don't change the capacity of the magazines.

Rod, do you know if bump stocks are legal in canada

SuperPhilip i was told that they are not anything that is made to speed up the rate of fire is illigal

Quick update, took a 15 round .40 S&W P226 magazine and fit 21 9mm luger rounds in it. Suck it, Colorado laws, got a legal 21 round mag.

In my opinion only: You can't modify it or it is not longer "holding the number of rounds for the caliber it was designed to hold".

Civil Advantage I wonder if you had an M model SKS (the one factory modified by Norinco to accept standard AK-47 magazines) if you could import Draco AK pistol mags for it? That would give you 30 round 7.62 x 39 magazines.

simonferrer definitely not, because all AK variants are prohibited, so that that pistol would be prohib, and even if it wasn't prohib, the mag would have to be pinned at 10 rounds...but the pistol in question is prohibited in Canada, so no.

CrAnSwIcK So what's needed then is for someone to produce a pistol based off the SKS operating system with clearly stamped SKS 'pistol' magazines, so you could at least have 10 rounds in your SKS. I've seen other people thinking along the same lines; there's an adapter out there to allow the SKS to accept 10 round mags from LAR pistols in 7.62 x 39 mm.

simonferrer theoretically yes, if a pistol version of the sks was produced (specifically newly manufactured, not just a chopped down sks), and assuming the RCMP would classify it as a restricted pistol, then I suppose, but for it to directly attach to an SKS it would have to be a duckbill mag, which everyone hates anyway. if it was fixed mag just the sks, then the RCMP would say no, like they just did with the vz58 pistol. if it needs to be adapted in anyway (i.e. detachable), then the AR mag adapter/XCR pistol mag would be a better option anyway...what would be sweet is, if our contradictory gun laws didn't exist. I would rather smash all ten rounds on the clip into the original mag. It's annoying when you load 5 and the 6th one pops off the clip, and falls on the ground. also RCMP take years to classify newly submitted firearms...so they are solutions available now...only the cost money...on top of the gun...which sucks cause most people buy them cause they can't afford a non-restricted black gun in a deer legal caliber for less than than $2,000 (sks: deer legal, and cheap + cheap to shoot $170 1320rnds 7.62x39 for $165) edit: more rant :)

Nm, found it... www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/firearms/maximum-permitted-magazine-capacity

Still #72 for me: www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/bulletins/bus-ent/20110323-72-eng.htm Where are you looking?

it and the .50 Beowulf mags are still legal in an AR-15 (or anything they work in)... any mag that works in any firearm is legal, if the mag is legal in Canada. Legal means, 10 rounds of the designed cartridge for pistol, 5 rounds of the designed cartridge for long guns. ... if more fit in it of a different cartridge, that's legal

no

Yes this is still in effect, LAR Pistol magazines can be used in your AR15 style rifles. Your XCR-M magazines are also fine in the MVP 308.

YES, along with .50 Beowulf mags which hold 13-14 rounds of .223/5.56 and fit in any AR-15

Sorry. Commented before the video completely finished.

There's a link to the bulletin in the description. That's what you'd need....

Bolt action rifles are not subject to mag. limits - only applies to semi-auto rifles

no limit in rimfire semiauto long rifle

Frenzy LaBom merci pour l'info ...

it does take longer, Rookie RCMP are paired with veteran constables which is a mentor/apprenticeship/experience job training.

@@Vorniforous Yes they run it by the law which should never be written by them.
