2014 Shot Show: Rossi Circult Judge Revoler Carbine

[sparq]

Beautiful guns, sadly and ignorantly classified. That .410 in the first picture almost looks case hardened in the light.

Neat guns. Too bad about the restricted part. What I don't get about this thread though is, well... Arent these old news? I thought these have been available here for at least a year already?

[Freedom Ventures]

Why can't one of our importer talk to Rossi to make a line of production for Canadian market only? I know its not a huge market like USA but at least they will have good business here at least from us

One of the 4 Rossi Canadian Importers here - we are not a huge market like USA - we are actually a minuscule market compared to the USA and they haven't been able to keep up to supply the US market in the past 5 years. Simple business, sorry.

We've been bringing them in for more than 2 years, actually.

That's what I thought so too. Thanks for confirming that. May be one day some miracle will happen.

What am I missing? My Armi Jager in .357 is non-restricted and I can't see a lot of difference between them.

I've owned this for about five years now.

You should sell that to me before the RCMP change their mind about its classification, wouldn't want it to be a hassle for you after all.

[borzee]

They are considered restricted because it is still considered a revolver(handgun).

They should really re-consider this one for NR status, especially with the 18.5" barrel.

[Gotrek]

So if the rifle would of came out first. Would it of been non restricted? and when the Pistol came out would it of caused the rifle to become restricted or would it of been considered a short barreled rifle?

DING DING DING - WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

We've been importing them for 2 years. CFC's exact phrasign was "once a pistol, always a pistol - gotta change the criminal code to make it different."
Sorry folks.

But it was designed and built as a rifle... Just like the browning buckmark... The only reasoning I could see for being restricted is having a six shot cylinder, but I believe it is 5.
