OK, so with magazine limits... (this is the biggest sore point with gun owners in Canada)...

For semi-automatic rifles, whether restricted or non-restricted classification, the magazine limit is 5 rounds. For handguns, the magazine limit is 10 rounds.

Now, some magazines that were intended for handguns also fit/work with semi-automatic rifles. For example, the LAR-10 pistol magazine fits 10 rounds and is compatible with the AR-15 platform. According to the law, you can legally use that LAR-10 magazine in your AR-15 since it was originally intended to be used in the pistol.

Correct about the USA, most states don't have any mag limits.
