| HC3R 25 round .22LR Mag for Ruger 10/22 |
Update: The ban is apparrently so as to prevent High Capacity magazines being used against US forces in conflict zones.
As we get additional information on this we will keep you all updated, Please submit your comments as this we feel is an unfair practice that will negatively affect the international sporting and recreational community since most manufacturers produce the magazines themselves or have one supplier whom is also a US registered company and therefore fall under the ban.
If they wish to prevent the use of High Capacity magazines against their forces then why is Rimfire firearms affected as well? I can understand being proactive and preventative but I don't think a .22LR will do much against a soldier with Nato standard ceramic armour, kevlar helmets and lets not forget his own .223 ( 5.56mm ) Automatic Assult Rifle which he Will return fire with. I just can't see the Taliban running around against the whole of Nato with some Marlin 60's, Anschutz MSR RX 22's, Ruger 10/22's or Mossberg 715T's!

Lets hope our friends in the US arms industry will then at the very least sell licenced manufacturing rights to international firms (even if in China) to keep supply for International demand
It's a shame and a weird law. I don't understand what the intent of prohibiting export would be, and I hope they would remove it soon.. :(
ReplyDeleteDo you have anything tangible to support this? There is a comment on Andean-inc's website which seems to support this but is undated and gives no further info:

Hi, unfortunately the only info. we have is from our local Firearm Dealer when we enquired about some spare mag's - he advised us about the Ban, the supposed reason (included in the above post) and that he does not know yet weather it is temporary or permanent.
ReplyDeleteSome UK sites say that spare mag's are on back order but perhaps their shipments got out just in time, others may not know yet that their packages are stuck in US customs while others may be just saying that to keep cutsomers checking their site for updates.
