Others were suggesting that if it was imported as a pistol, it would forever be considered a pistol in the RCMP's eyes. I'm not sure if that's true, but if not you'd still need an 18.5 inch barrel to register it as NR. I'll be waiting to see if those become available.
Oh this same thing happened last year, but back then it was classified as a restricted pistol on the FRT and even then, they deleted the FRT just a few hours later.
This time it's non restricted and classified as a rifle! Even if this pistol version IRG is selling cannot be converted, this classification is all we needed to bring in the real deal. Huge W assuming they don't pull it like they did last year..
