Various questions

No kidding, but that doesn't tell me if the company is pinning them or if I'm stuck ordering 10/10rd magazines.

Well you need to find out. It may not be illegal for them to ship them, but it sure as hell will be illegal for you to get them here if they're not pinned.

Your only other option if you live close to the border is to order them to a us mail or parcel receiving service (there are many and cheap, only costs when the parcel comes in) and then go and pin them yourself before bringing it back across the border. Take some snap caps to show the guard i guess.

Holy, why do you think I'm asking the question on their subforum, if not to find out? lol

LOL - well perhaps i phrased that poorly, i meant you should probably get them to clarify specifically what state they ship the mags in directly

With all due respect Foxer, that is bad advice.
Fact is it's illegal to export them from the US unless you are registered with the DDTC. The CBSA (Canadian Customs) won't care, but if you get stopped at a random check by the CBP (US Customs) on the way out - yes they do that - the best case scenario is that they confiscate your parts and put you on a list that will get you shaken down every time you head south from then until forever. This applies to all firearms parts listed on the USML (United State Munitions List)... including ammo.

Here's a link to the USML for reference... https://www.pmddtc.state.gov/regulations_laws/documents/official_itar/ITAR_Part_121.pdf

If you have any questions about this please let me know and I'll be happy to provide clarification.

Ahh - so you'd skirt our magazine laws only to run afoul of the american export laws.

So much for 'free trade'

Sad but true... Freedom isn't Free afterall. I know hundreds of us get away with on a regular basis, especially with ammo, but we all should know the risk.
