Buy recommendations Henry supreme mag?

Post image

I just put a down payment on a Henry supreme 5.56 at my local gun store. I was under the impression that these magazines have to be pinned to 5 but my gun store employee said it's a 10 round limit which makes no sense to me. Is there some sort of loophole that he knows about and I don't? Or was he bullshitting / mistaken? Pic for attention.

​

Regardless, what is the best magazine option for these things in Canada? All I'm going to be using it for is target shooting for now.

​

Thanks In advance!

I’m under the impression that Henry supreme takes AR mags, so you can simply use AR pistol mags which are pinned to 10 rounds.
Had Henry chosen to use proprietary mags, there would be no limitations on mag capacity as it’s a manual action rifle.

What makes an ar mag a pistol mag? Sorry I'm actually very new to the firearms world, only had my PAL for about a year and a half now.

Honestly it just says "pistol magazine" on the side lol. If the mag was designed for a semiauto rifle, it's pinned to 5. If it's designed for a pistol, it's allowed 10.

Since they're AR pistols they make AR pistol mags, even though they're really the same mag. Similar to how you can't saw off a shotgun to a 10 inch barrel, but a factory can sell a 10 inch barrel gun as long as it was made that way.
