    Various questions

    Can I order ammo from the website?
    Can I order magazines from the website that would require being pinned?

    That's all I can think of at the moment.

    Hey there Lone-wolf,

    If you are Canadian with a pal you can order ammo off any Canadian website.(Keep in mind where you are and shipping costs)

    Somebody else can take the next question but I'm pretty sure you need them pinned before you can buy them here in Canada.

    Mags have to be pinned, I believe, before they are even allowed into the country. Until they are pinned they are a prohibited device.

    Cheers!

    This is how I have read it as well. Unless pinned it can't be imported.

    Can places like Marstar not import them and pin them themselves?

    Oh....we had that discussion with the CFO inspector when we were getting our firearm dealers license. There is exactly ONE way to pull that off. You MUST have a contract with a government agency that is allowed to buy unpinned magazines. Even then, ordering in a bunch in that aren't done, and pinning half of them to be sold to the public is not allowed. That being said, I know of at least one retailer who's doing it quietly. No, it's not us. No it's not Marstar (that I know of) and I'm not going to elaborate because that's just being a rat. I just know it's being done.

    The official answer is NO NO NO, they aren't allowed to do that.

    Hopefully no CFO types ever read your post. It might be 'uncomfortable' for you when your licence renewal time comes.

    I think you guys are missing the point...

    Aztech is selling off their website, to both american and canadian customers.
    So, I have to ask if they'll pin the magazines they sell on their site.

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