Here in Canada the carbine is limited to 5 rds...so 25 mags on you. The pistol mags can at least hold 10.

Yep, bought a bunch of it for about that price or a bit less, along with the Glock mags. When I bought my Mini-30, the Russian ammo was about 6-7 cents. - Bob

Yep, its just an old habit to say PC9 (which looked like a 9mm 10-22). Trips off the tongue easier than Ruger PC Carbine! I have about 2,000 to 3,000 rounds of assorted 9mm, since I already have a bunch of 9mm pistols. Most of it was bought 2 years ago or more when it was $12 a box of 50. The Federal 9BPLE +P+ 115s move out at more than 1615 fps and give about 670 ft lbs ME from the Ruger Carbine. VERY snappy! I have about 300 rounds of it for my Glock 19. It gets about 1400 fps from the 9BPLE.

I have to say, I am smitten with the Mini-30. If a Mini-14 is an M1 Carbine with a "stiffy" a Mini-30 is an M1 Carbine on a double dose of Viagra! I get 2550 fps from a 125 grain Hornady OTM using H4198!

Had a friend I use to hear from often up there in Canada, but he has sort of fell into a void. Last time I heard from him y’all were undergoing new restrictions and I wondered even if the carbine would be outlawed. Y’all had to have a 20-inch barrel at that time as I recall.
What are you allowed up there now….carbine-wise?

Mine was made in '02 and the scope rings were included. Do the new 584's still come with them? Thanks! - Bob

Carbines with issue equipment are restricted, registered. 19" barrels are not. All mags have to be blocked to five.

The guns that had extensions added instead of a factory made barrel were deemed an illegal conversion by RCMP.

Must depend on who’s holding the ruler. The carbines I see for Canada sales list 18.5 inch barrels.

Considered issue. The half inch is probably measured back to the rear of the barrel ring. Wrong way to measure but I no longer care about how they do it.
