I was wondering if it is possible to modify a restricted rifle to make it non-restricted?
Specificly the Rossi Circuit Judge 45LC/410Ga.
If it is possible what would have to be done?
Who would have to make the changes?
Who would be able to re-classify it?
Does if cost $ to re-classify?
How much would the modifications cost?
Just thought this would be fun to hunt with.

Too answer your question yes its possible to reclass a restricted rifle by making it fit min non rest lengths. Unfortunatly the reason for the circuit judge being restricted is that the action was the same as a pistol therefore it is a pistol... Even though if you were to convert it to a pistol you would have to change it to restricted just another one of those double illegal things
 
The circuit judge frame is a handgun frame, and therefore it is a handgun, not a restricted rifle.

So, no, there is no way to make a pistol non restricted.

It would have to have been manufacured with a modified frame something like the Buckmark carbine with a buttstock made integral to the frame from the factory.

This is what I meant to say.... But I'm long winded.

Anyways I think we should have a leg to stand on considering there are other examples of pistols and rifles using the same frame with only slight mods. Just off the top of my head I'd say XCR and Charger. So if someone could get in Taurus ear a little and convince them to maybe perminantly attach the stock by say a stud apposed to a grip.... Well then we might be cookin with gas.untill then we are screwed

Ask the RCMP... While you're at it ask why the ranch hand is non-restricted even though its a ground up HANDGUN. It doesn't make any sense?????

Now now let's not get out of hand here. It's a hand gun according to the US as they would be SBRs and a nightmare there. For ease of sale they call them handguns. Here we call them rifles or carbines so as they are not restricted. I would tend to lean towards them being carbines over handguns as, although possible firing and repeating the action of one with 1 hand would cause you some misery
 
I would say the reason they (circuit judge) are classified restricted is not so much because of the gun itself but do to the brain cell of the bureaucrat.

I don't think there is any "appeal process" for how guns are classified. And I'm not sure one could talk slow enough so that one could communicate with those people.
