Why These Mags Are Legal in Canada | LAR-15 Pistol Magazine

- Опубликовано: 8 апр 2023
- The current #firearm legislation in #Canada pertaining to #magazine capacity limits is 5 for center fire, semi auto rifles or shotguns, and 10 for center fire, semi auto #pistols.
This is why the #LAR15 pistol magazine is completely legal to use in your rifle that can accept a standard #STANAG or #AR15 magazine.
Because the law only cares about the firearm for which the magazine was designed. Thus, if the magazine was designed for a pistol, you can use it in your #rifle with a 10 round maximum.
This restriction (with few exceptions) doesn't apply to other actions (such as #pumpaction or #boltaction) or to firearms which are designed to fire #rimfire ammunition.
Here are some resources from the RCMP to prove this concept:
www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/firearm...
There was also the "RCMP Special Bulletin 72 for Small Business" which detailed these restrictions and named the LAR-15 magazine BY NAME. Unfortunately, this is no longer accessible as it's been removed from the RCMP website.
Some examples from the above document:
Ruger PC Carbine (9mm)
A semi auto rifle that accepts Glock pistol magazines. The magazine is designed for a pistol. The limit for pistol magazines is 10. Therefore, the capacity of 10 is permitted in a rifle using these magazines.
Any AR Pattern Rifle (5.56/223)
A semi auto rifle that can accept regular STANAG or AR pattern magazines. Those designed for a rifle are limited to 5 rounds. Anything more will make the magazine a prohibited device.
10 rounds is also permitted if an LAR-15 magazine is used, as that magazine is designed for a PISTOL, not a RIFLE.
It's also possible to put cartridges that are smaller in size than what the magazine was originally designed for, thereby fitting more cartridges in the same magazine, if the firearm can safely discharge those cartridges and it's compatible with the magazine.

COUGH
Excellent explanation! Exactly what I was thinking. Criminals don’t care about what is legal and what isn’t, it’s only the law abiding gun owners who are affected by these laws and regulations.
Since bill C21 was introduced it seems that there is a requirement for the purchaser of a magazine to hold a PAL. I've just watched a video from the CCFR discussing this.
I hope these ridiculous laws never come to the US. Just watching this video gives me the urge to buy more standard cap mags
Ty for this video! I'm going to be buying a 556 soon and will definitely buy the 10/10 snap mags!
i was just at the range with a buddy with cross mags. great stuff! great but. you can only have 3 rounds in your firearm while hunting... so be aware of that. I'm not a hunter but some folks say if you need more than 2 shots, be a better hunter. haha. that's my 2 cents. subbed liked the video.
We should have whatever magazine we want.
So which guns do the pistol mags fit in , I'm guessing you can't get them for a sks or can you . Also aren't AR 15 style guns banned now thsnks to blackface.
So the way I understand the canadian law on mags when I read it is that the mag with 10 round can be legal in its self but if you put it in a semi auto rifle you should still put no more then 5round.
You're only allowed to have 5 rounds in your gun while hunting. 5 rifle, 3 shotgun
Kodiak defense 556 and 10 round mags is stellar
The wife and i have gsg 16s.Great for her as a new shooter.Light accurate and smooth.Running cci high
I love that you are explaining things like that and have the level head to explain both sides. well done!
Just ordered three of those mags for my future tavor, I hate only having five shots
Well said. So if the rivet is removed from the magazine, then it becomes a prohibited magazine?
I came across your channel and am curious. I am curious as to your gun laws up there. Do your gun laws change from province to province like down in the United States or are they the same across the country? I am actually surprised to see a channel about guns from Canada because I was under the assumption that your federal laws are essentially not in support of the citizens of Canada owning firearms. I hope I am way off in my assumption but judging by you and your channel, clearly I am wrong unless you are in an underground bunker off the grid somewhere in the Yukon territory with a fake name. All jokes aside, I gave you a sub. I will support every American, Canadian as well as anyone in the free world the right to own a gun. Cheers from Arizona! BTW, nice video!
Super useful and well articulated. Thank you.
As far as you know. Do these work for the Kodiak defence rifles? The Kodiak Defence WK180C-Z GEN 2 5.56 NATO for example?
Thanks for providing an explanation about how rifle magazine capacities work here Canada. Runkle of the Bailey has an interesting take on the legality of the LAR-15 here in Canada after the OIC.
Good job. You’re a good speaker. Clear and articulate. I can see you as a host in entertainment
