Letter Re: Rifle Recommendations for Canada
Hello Jim,
I just wanted to clarify a few points on C-68 and current Canadian
gun control laws. There is a 5 round limit on box magazines for semi-automatic,
centrefire long guns. There is also a 10-rd limit on magazines for
handguns. No grandfathering for magazines or individuals. So that's
why the Lee-Enfield magazines are unaffected. The only exception
to the rifle magazine capacity limit is for the M1 Garand. As well,
I believe the wording of the law, or at least legal precedent, has
it that the magazines only have to be neutered in such a way that
it can not readily be reverted to it's original capacity by hand.
