BRS-99 question

[Until the Angels Fall]

No legal issues, just call it in once the NR barrel is put on.

We only have 1 left in stock at the moment; it is already NR class.

The BRS is super accurate and very reliable; I'm sure other BRS-99 owners can attest to this. Not too many sub guns like this around.

Perfect, thanks!!!

Putting the NR barrel would make the gun NR which doesn't required registration anymore, no?

Correct, as long as it was called in. If it was not called in the CFC would still have it registered as restricted in their system; they wouldnt know that it was changed to NR.

does the NR quick change barrel fit on the old model BRS-99?

Is that still true even with the LGR being gone? Putting the NR barrel would make the gun NR which doesn't required registration anymore, no?

I know that was true before as I was informed that you can't have two registrations on the same rifle but with the LRG gone I thought that would resolve this issue and allow us to make a Restricted rifle NR by changing barrel and use it like one.
Maybe we should have Ed comment on this.

Someone should phone the CFO and get the straight poop on the BRS, then.

My experience in this area is with contender handgun/rifles. If the contender left the factory as a restricted it will always be restricted regardless of putting a rifle barrel on it.

different situation as a handgun (restricted contendor) is restricted no matter of barrel length, rifle are a different story as the barrel length can be the sole determinant of its FRT status

Well I guess I have to ask my stupid question of the day then:

Is the BRS-99 classified as a long gun or pistol? Says pistol here,

I see. My hope was that with some of those rifles where barrel can be changed fairly easily without a gunsmith that I wouldn't have to change the classification each time I want to change the barrel.

My idea was to use the short restricted barrel at the range and then swap it for the long NR barrel for some fun around the farm.

Seems that they have made the rule in such a way that insure I can't have it all

Every country has their own legal definitions...

It seems like some of you are working against this...

Its a rifle because of the attacked (sliding) stock and it is only allowed 5 round mags... in its "stock" form from the factory it is restricted.

Want to play in the bush...lengthen the barrel to legal size to make it non restricted. End of story...now everyone can play to their liking.

AS LONG AS YOU INFORM THE CFC OF THE STATUS CHANGE YOU ARE GOOD TO GO.

does the NR quick change barrel fit on the old model BRS-99?

yes it does!i got mine(nr barell) last week..i called it in,,waiting for my new non restricted papers..I LIVE IN QUEBEC of course

[Jesuswon]

tactical imports should also stock fake cans for the N R barrel (hint hint)
it looks kinda like a lying pinochio with the long barrel but its over the top in cool factor and i love it! next month, im going boar hunting with it! (in non rest mode of course)
