Default Beowulf Magazines

Just so everyone knows the RCMP has "reinterpreted" its treatment of Beowulf mags and they must be limited to 5 rounds of 223/5.56 or 2 rounds of the 50 beowulf.

CGN has a more detailed thread about it.

what the rcmp say, and what the law says, are 2 different things.

Legal or otherwise, they usually get their way, and with Trudeau pretty much handing over everything firearms related to them to do as they please, who will stop them?

Seems to be like the whole 10/22 magazine thing again.

Rumours at first and then it happened.

It would be interesting to know how many people in Canada are actually injuried/killed with either a 10/22 or AR15 with a beowulf mag.

My guess would be 0 give or take.

its yet to be tested in court. once the courts make a ruling, that will determine the legitimacy of the rcmp's claims.

there is one CGN'r currently charged with possession of a prohibited device, so time may tell.

There has been at least one person from CGN who had charges dropped when it came to beo mags.

I think he caught a lucky break, I think the latest guy is not going to find things so pleasant.
