Thread: First Tippmann M4s in 22wmr have landed

The reason I ask is if P1/2 people can use magazines of more than 10 rds in 22mag, then does the associated rifle become a P1 rifle like would have been the case under E category? I have not seen anything about this in the legislation.

I don't think legislation prevents the importation of a high capacity 0.22 mag, It's just that the magazine is the prohibited item in that instance, not the rifle. You require the endorsement/s to own the prohibited magazine, it doesn't affect the rifle.
