Well, a prohibited firearm is defined as:

(a) a handgun that

(i) has a barrel equal to or less than 105 mm in length, or
(ii) is designed or adapted to discharge a 25 or 32 calibre cartridge,

but does not include any such handgun that is prescribed, where the handgun is for use in international sporting competitions governed by the rules of the International Shooting Union,

(b) a firearm that is adapted from a rifle or shotgun, whether by sawing, cutting or any other alteration, and that, as so adapted,

(i) is less than 660 mm in length, or
(ii) is 660 mm or greater in length and has a barrel less than 457 mm in length,

(c) an automatic firearm, whether or not it has been altered to discharge only one projectile with one pressure of the trigger, or

(d) any firearm that is prescribed to be a prohibited firearm;

and a restricted firearm is defined as:

(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;

Since changing the stock is not "sawing, cutting or any other alteration", you would fall into section (c) of the restricted definition and would have a restricted shotgun.

The ATI stock would be restircted. You (may have) saw the Knoxx folding Stock on a 12.5" Dominion. This is non-restricted because the overall length is 26" I had this set up and although compact it really did measure 26" on the dot and all it would take is a little misinterpretation of measurements to get you into hot water. The stock wasn't friendly compared to the telescopic stocks and overall weight for gun and stock is heavier than you would think. I like an M4 style stock on a 12.5" they make some that side fold now so I would check the options there.

^ right on! I can add that a Rem LEO folder is too short for a 12.5 as well... You need almost 16" on the barrel to make it work.

Johhny is right about the M4 style stock. I've got a CTR on an S&J adapter that works great. Sure compressed all the way it is 29", but a nice little package none the less. Works great for a survival gun in the airplane- sideways in the nose locker no problems. Any longer would be a no-go. Shorter would be great but I can live with it. Far nicer to shoot then the Rem folder to boot!

Good to know that thanks. You are lucky in you have more in the tube with the 18" when it comes down to it though. I'm jealous. :D I've got my LEO on an 18" mag fed Grizz right now. Waste of a good magazine tube ;)

Excuse the dirty carpet and bad iphone pics... And the late reply.
 
I like that look. I have been changing stocks on mine as well. I've gone from OEM to SR2 adaptor with ar stock, witch i like the looks of but i need a rail to get the sights back in the right place. Now im running all Hogue witch i really like except where the stock meets the reciever ther is a bit of a step up it's not a smooth transition as it should be.

I would love to try that folder on mine but with the 14.5 barrel it's gonna make it restricted :(
