Actually, you are wrong as well. Changing the stock is not ALTERING. Cutting the barrel or stock down is altering. What we are doing with a stock change is ADAPTING.
Hope you didn't buy your PAL.“restricted firearm” means
(a) a handgun that is not a prohibited firearm,
(b) a firearm that
(i) is not a prohibited firearm,
(ii) has a barrel less than 470 mm in length, and
(iii) is capable of discharging centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner,
(c) a firearm that is designed or adapted to be fired when reduced to a length of less than 660 mm by folding, telescoping or otherwise, or
(d) a firearm of any other kind that is prescribed to be a restricted firearm;

Changing a stock and putting a 12.5 inch barrel is not altering?! if the gun came factory with a barrel of 660mm shorter then yes, its restricted. A non restricted that has been altered with an overall length of 26" is prohibited.
Through conditions beyond my own control I had a G36/ 10/22 siezed by the cops. (Wasn't at my house)
Can't wait to try and get it back! Should be a good time.
You can use a rifle as a doorjamb or paperweight, but that's not what it's designed for. It's not what the rifle, in its soul, longs to do.
Nope, altering means cutting. Adapting means changing parts. Stupid? Yes, very.
It is only restricted on barrel length if it is a centerfire semi with a barrel less than 470mm (18.5"). Manual action centerfire and rimfire is OK at any barrel length (as long as the barrel wasn't cut to length), but less than 26" OAL means it is restricted. If manufactured at an OAL shorter than 26" it may or may not be restricted, as the current Mare's Leg models of lever action rifles show.
at Canadian gun laws.
Contact the CSSA/NFA if you are a member and share the circumstances with us when you can. Good luck in getting your property back, that sucks big time. Was the 10/22 the standard model with 18" barrel or did you have a short aftermarket barrel on it?

At my parents place. Dont want to get into details. Spoke to the guy in charge of seizures. He seemed to be a nice fellow. Just waiting to the cop to give the OK to release them to me.
I was concerned about the fake supressor. And yes, a stock 18inch barrel. Shouldnt be a problem, Im just looking forward to the looks on their faces.

No, unrelated. They took a bunch of firearms from my parents home. It was just one of the bunch. Chatted with the fellow at the compound "Now one LOOKS scary, and has a fake FAKE supressor. Its only plastic, its just furniture." He seemed understanding. He joked and said "Dont worry, this report was filled out by cops, so it's probably all wrong anyways."
