All 15rd mags?
I was told the only reason we can't buy the BX15's is because somebody _might_ put one in a Ruger Charger, making an illegal 15rd handgun.

I asked about BX15 mags before and why there not available, and the answer i came to the conclusion was that NIOA the distributor for both Ruger and Lucky 13 would rather sell you a Lucky 13 15 or 25 round mag for over $180 instead of a cheap $45 (adjusted from $29 USD) Ruger factory mag. There after our dollars after all.
The following links give you the price comparison.

last time I checked the price a genuine BX15 Ruger mag was about $250 AUD.

I bought some from the barn 2 weeks ago. Same price for the 25 and 15 which dont make sense. So I got the 25.

Have one mag came with it..absolutely impossible to find extra mag anywhere and lucky 13 states there's are not for the WMR Precision. I'm at a loss as how or where to get a spare or two. ..miss the good old days when I walked into a gunshop aged 17 with a car license and brought an SKK 7.62x39mm semi-auto with 3x30 shot magazine's. Now you can't even find a 9 shot 22wmr mag for a bolt action. Crazy.

Not trying to be a smart arse - could the amendment amount to a change that might fall on the wrong side of our puppet masters?
