Apparently bulletin 72 is the resource that shows that >10rd 10/22 mags are illegal. Apparently this has been the case since about 2011. He says that the CFOs are contacting the licensed firearm dealers to let them know this. Some provinces are slower than others. Also I guess they don't have anyway to contact the importers (as are not licensed vendors and don't know who they are). He believes that 10/22,Mossberg 715, S&W MP22 and the Remington Viper all have the same issue.

Obviously the common interpretation of the law is different. He thinks that this will be up to lawyers to decide. He also went on to say that the Tavor and T97 never should have been made legal. They are legal because the law was poorly worded.

I am waiting for an email from the RCMP lab stating that all 10 22 mags >10rd are in fact illegal according to them.

So there it is. Time to fight this. Write to your MP's and Ralph Goodale. We can't be pushed around like this because a bureaucrats opinion changed.
