    Look at post 27 of this string. One has been sold since I wrote that. But there are two left!

    I agree. But then there is no sensible reason for wanting one of these except for the "cool" and "fun" factor. And that might just be enough to justify the purchase.

    Rossi's ML should be coming in around $650ish (I hope) whereas the Chiappa's are 1k and up...

    What are the laws regarding modifying antiques? I was under the impression that since they require no registration they could be chopped, stocked, or otherwise customized to your hearts content. Or is there a rule that restricts heavy modification from original design?

    Been looking at picking up an older antique lever rifle and having something like this done, that way don't have to deal with any paperwork.

    That's an interesting point. I don't know if you can "saw off" the barrel or stock of an antique gun and it still be "legal." I am sure some knowledgeable person on this site will be able to quote the law in this regard.

    But I think the more important question is, if you do so and say, go hunting or backpacking with the modified gun... how many LE officers that you run into would know the Canadian gun laws chapter and verse and wouldn't give you a hard time anyway. I can tell you that if someone was caught walking around the woods in Ontario with even a registered Non-Restricted Mare's Leg chances are they would have some 'splainin to do... probably at the local police station after the gun was confiscated. Sad, but true.

    Not to mention the violent beating that might occur during the "High Risk Takedown" of such an offender.

    I just don't get the Mare's Leg thing, however, to each their own. Personally, I'd favour a short barrelled rifle with a full stock.

    The firearms would not be "confiscated", but rather "seized",two very different things. Secondly, If it was legally registered and non-restricted and there was a violent beating, I would definately be filing a lawsuit and taking legal action.

    It's the law enforcers job (no matterwhat agency) to educate themselves. If they are uneducated on something they see in the field, they shouldnot be inflicting a violent beating, but rather using one of their other numerous tools to complete their duties. Refer to the use of force chart before assuming you would be beat.

    That being said, you may have a firearm or two pointed at you...
