Extractors. We looked at ejectors but they added cost and too much force to opening mechanism. Without the leverage and heft of a longer barrel that was a concern

The exceptions are if it is deemed to be a handgun. So if you have a non-functioning stock or pistol grip only the RCMP will consider the gun designed or intended to be aimed and fired with one hand and therefore a handgun and restricted
Been too busy with T81 LMG to advertise, new orders we hope to start sending this week. 1st shipment fairly small but larger one planned for summer
Quality is top notch, these should probably be $700+ but we worked really hard with manufacturer to get to $499 price point
Welp, order in. I’m excited.
Any chance you will get spare longer barrels for skeet/trap?

Except that doesn't make sense in light of the Mares Leg. The only difference is barrel length, both are under 26", one is NR the other R. The stock/grip is identical, so how can that be the deciding factor?
Clearly one is deemed a handgun, while one isn't, but it can't be due to the stock because they're the same?
My point is there is no hard rules for sub-26" guns and the rcmp makes their decisions on a case by case basis. Nice of you guys to bring these in though, they'd make a freaking awesome truck gun.

The restricted ones are pistol marked models generally made for US sale, but a pistol a pistol and can never not be a pistol by Canadian laws.
Both the 9" and 12" versions are pistols in the USA, so I can't see how that is the deciding factor.
12+" barrels, from Henry, clearly listed as pistols: https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/mares-leg/
That still US law, has to do with barrel length. They want it to be US pistol class for sub 16" barrels (18" for shotgun) or its an NFA item there.
Yes, they have a fixed cylinder choke.
Is the NR Mares the 22lr? Because that would make a difference. Restricted usually means center-fire based of the checklist they have, so the shorter version in rimfire would have been deemed NR.

I'm sure if you called them with both NR & R FRT numbers they could in theory give a detailed summary of why they are classified as such. Unless it's in the FRT table on armalytics in the notes. But it's really a game of making sense of something that they don't have to make sense of.

Nope there's a bunch of center fire on there.
They're all NR aside from the ones with Pistol marked on the frame. With the odd one out being pistol marked on the barrel also being NR.
So to further analyze a firearm can be a pistol if its marked pistol on the receiver.

I am aware of WHY they're marketed as pistols in the US. But the fact remains that ALL Mares Legs are sold as pistols in the USA, so the fact that the 9" ones are pistols in the USA thus pistols in Canada does not make sense because that reasoning should also apply to the 12" ones.
Long story short: The RCMP does whatever they want, and if you try to apply logic to it you'll just go in circles.
If it is marketed as a pistol by manufacturer, then RCMP will in most cases consider it designed and intended to be a handgun (ie aimed and fired with one hand). Also, can anyone actually use the stock on a mare's leg? It's like 4"
