Gun and gear reviews Pinned Wrong?

Post image

I bought 2BX-25 mags from a Canadian online supplier. Tried loading them today and they won't accept the 10th round. I reached out to Customer Service and was told "Unfortunately due to the way these magazines are pinned, many of them end up only holding 9 rounds." Isn't it more likely somebody is drilling and pinning your mags wrong"if the rivet was an 1/8" lower it would take the intended 10 rounds without issue.

Am I wrong to be peeved??

Am I allowed to move the rivet and pin it to its legal capacity?

Yes, the law has a provision for temporary creation of prohibited devices. You may create a prohibited device and possess it for up to 30 days before it must be either surrendered to the RCMP or returned to legal configuration. You cannot use, sell, or trade prohibited devices until they are returned to legal configuration.

No where does it say that.

That is highly illegal especially since C-21 specifically prohibited the creation of prohobited magazines (projobited devices)
