Hey guys, I just inherited some guns from my Father who passed and I have a tapco clip that will hold 30 rounds and I wanna remove it so I can take it coyote hunting, I have about 80 of the bastards in my one whitey field.... anyone know how to do that???

Is the rifle a bolt action or a semi auto? are you asking how to get the mag to hold 30 rounds?

Judging that it is a Tapco mag I would guess it is a semi-auto SKS in which case I would not go asking that info on a public forum.

If you take the plug out and are caught you face jail time for having a prohibited device.

Q7. What is the maximum number of cartridges that a firearm magazine can legally hold?

A7. As set out in Criminal Code Regulations, some large-capacity magazines are prohibited regardless of the class of firearm to which the magazines are attached. As a general rule, the maximum magazine capacity is:

5 cartridges for most magazines designed for a semi-automatic centre-fire long gun; or
10 cartridges for most handgun magazines
A large-capacity magazine is not prohibited if it has been permanently altered so that it cannot hold more than the number of cartridges allowed by law. Acceptable ways to alter a magazine are set out in the regulations.

There is no limit to the magazine capacity for semi-automatic rim-fire long guns, or for other long guns that are not semi-automatics.

X2.....hence the reason asking on a public forum is bad mojo

But if he actually has ever taken his CFSC he'd have known about the mag limit, one would think

Instead of machine gunning the heck out of them, why not invite some snipers out to help thin out the coyotes? Of course you do run the chance of them knowing where your honey hole is, so only choose guys that can keep a secret.

Just drill the rivet head off and push the pin out.
