Not a perfect solution, but they do accept a quick loading stripper clip, so its a half solution.

And you can then use that as a template to pin your old magazines that are none-pinned.

Why not have a pocket full of 10 round mags with an underlever release, push down mag drops in your hand click in another with no banana sticking out of your stock. I owned several 10/22's over the years never bothered with 25 rounds. I think making them illegal makes 0 sense just like most other gun laws.

Rimfire

Rifle magazine is unlimited
Pistol magazine is 10
Magazines fitting both(ie butler creek), limited to pistol capacity of 10.

Center Fire

Semi-automatic rifle magazine is 5
Pistol magazine is 10
Magazines fitting both with no markings are limited to 5
Magazines fitting both and labelled as a pistol magazine are limited to 10

Definitely confusing and needs to be simplified at a legislative level.

Classic example

If I run my AR15 magazine in my LAR15 pistol then the magazine is limited to 5. But if I run my LAR15 magazine in my AR15 rifle then I can run 10.

What are the legalities of labeling a magazine as a pistol magazine?

The simplification should consist of removing all restrictions for all magazines. Restricting capacity does nothing but create problems where there were none.

(b) that is capable of containing more than 10 cartridges of the type for which the magazine was originally designed and that is designed or manufactured for use in a semi-automatic handgun that is commonly available in Canada.

Butler creek 25 round mags are NOT designed or manufactured for use in Charger pistols. They can't possibly be, because they existed BEFORE a 10/22 pistol was commonly (or even uncommonly) available in Canada or anywhere in the world.

Personally, I hate those 25 round mags. But the RCMP are either deliberately misinterpreting the law or are ignorant of the English language in this case. OR they believe Butler Creek has the ability to travel forward in time and design products in the present/past for guns they have seen in the future.

The RCMP are interpreting the law as if it read "...and are capable of being used in a semi-automatic handgun that is commonly available in Canada."

Of course, anyone that challenged this law would be crushed by the full weight of their own tax dollars being used to financially destroy them in the courts.
