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!

yeah this isnt safe though, anyone can just etch pistol on it. The magazine has to be in the documented design for the gun. This is why we can't just write pistol on AR15 magazines.

Right, it has to say "pistol" on it from the factory.

What does from the factory mean? I am pretty sure you can legally 3d print ar magazines as long as they comply with the laws. Does this mean I can 3d print a 10 rds ar mag if is says pistol? I mean 3d printer is kind of the factory in this case?

What a great question, there's no proper answer to that, certainly not legally nor in the RCMP's interpretation of the law. Broadly speaking, they take it to mean that a magazine stamped "for pistol use only" from the factory, or is otherwise explicitly designed for a pistol (Glock magazine for example) can use 10 rounds but you can't etch that onto a rifle magazine and repin to 10 rounds.
