Muddy Funker Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Is there anything in the firearms act or on your cert that says otherwise? I can't be bothered looking but he's probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I don't know of any manufacturers who make one, but as far as I'm aware there are no legal restrictions on the capacity of a rifle magazine. There are restrictions on the amount of ammo possessed however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spandit Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 It's expensive enough having a 10 shot magazine on the .22 semi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Today I was told you can have a 100 shot mag if you'd like for any rifle . I said you can't but he insists . This guy is an RFD I swear he's talking **** but prove me wrong plz As far as i am aware there is no law which prevents us from having a 100 shot mag. I'd say in this case the RFD is correct and its you that is wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Not 100, but here's a 50 on sale in the UK for a Ruger 10/22: http://www.gunstar.co.uk/ruger-magazines-for-sale-in-kent/Accessories/630474 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimey121uk Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 It's expensive enough having a 10 shot magazine on the .22 semi! Even worse with 3x BX25 Ruger mags:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 The Calico 100 .22 rifle had a 100 rd drum There are also AR15 100 round drums available The old .45 ACP Thompson SMG had 50rd & 100rd drums I know some RFDs talk from their rear end at times (I think the trend is caught from some importers) but in this case your RFD is partly right....as the 100rd magazine for ANY rifle would be pushing the truth a little; it's not that such things are/are not allowed, it's a case of not all makes/types of rifle have such larger magazines made for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filzee Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 They sell 100 round mags for the GSG5's and things like that. As others have said its not that you're not allowed them its just they don't exist for a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel100 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I have enough trouble loading a 30 rd mag! I've handled a Thompson with a 50 rd mag and they are very heavy, the 100 rd mags were really for static use. Due to it's position, the helical mag on the Calico actually balances quite well (from very distant memory). Practical use of such items is another matter. Far better off with smaller, cheaper, more reliable mags. and learning how to do a fast mag change - if you really need that sort of thing.
