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?

Doesn’t matter where you live in Canada, the firearms act is federal. Like it or not, even Alberta RCMP would be enforcing this law if it became an issue they couldn’t ignore.

I don’t think they’re just going around and checking them. No. They have better shit to do than harass supposedly law abiding people, but there are times when they would have to check. There are situations they could not just look the other way.
