Am I wrong that once a pistol, always a pistol? I asked a gunsmith on here to make a super long barrel for a glock pistol to meet the minimum OAL so I could re-classify it as a rifle but I was told by them that it's not possible to change the classification to non-restricted. These guys do make barrels to convert prohibs to restricted but said it doesn't work for pistols to rifles. Anyone know?
Although I am still waiting on you guys getting some micro or mini 7.62x39 In stock so i can possibly try it out

Still waiting for those mags.... Sitting at 3 rifles that can use them..
Thanks John, hopefully it's bad info and there is a possibility it can be done. It would affect the XCRs as well... If I find anything out, I'll post it.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents. Myself and a few of my friends use our AR-10 platforms primarily from bipods. So Shorter mags are great for us. As a matter of fact since we haven't been able to get the Magpul 5/10's in Canada yet we have been chopping down 5/20's to that length. So a tne round capable mag in that length would be fantastic!
There are three main clauses in the criminal code that are used to define the classification of modern firearms in Canada.

There is no definition for what a Non-restricted firearm is, only what it is not.Originally Posted by Criminal Code of Canada
In the case of a super long barreled Glock, or any other long barreled handgun;
Our first question: does it meet the legal definition of a handgun? It it a firearm that is designed, altered or intended to be aimed and fired by the action of one hand, whether or not it has been redesigned or subsequently altered to be aimed and fired by the action of both hands.
Undeniably yes. No question and no shadow of a doubt it is a firearm that is designed, altered or intended to be aimed and fired by the action of one hand, whether or not it has been redesigned or subsequently altered to be aimed and fired by the action of both hands.
So we know it is a handgun.
Is it restricted by definition?
Well, the first point asks if it's a handgun, which it is. However we also need to make sure it is not prohibited.
We can immediately ignore point one because the firearm does not have a barrel shorter than 105mm and (presumably) not chambered in either prohibited cartridge.
We can ignore point two because it was not a firearm that is adapted from a rifle or shotgun.
We can ignore point 3 because it is not an automatic, and we can ignore point 4 because the Restricted handgun being used is obviously not prohibited by name.
So, it's not prohibited. Phew!
So, is it restricted then?
Well have determined that it IS a handgun and IS NOT prohibited. Therefore it must be a handgun that is not a prohibited firearm.
Case closed, once a handgun, always a handgun, and handguns are always restricted or prohibited.
