And you were still incorrect on cutting a barrel on a semi auto. You can cut it down to 18 as well. It just changes to restricted under 18.5. 18.5 is not the limit for cutting it.Originally Posted by Longarm9

Best be careful when "sawing off" ............. best place to look is in the Act and Regulation.
But here is a quote from the Student Manual - Canadian Firearms Safety Course - 2014:
Prohibited Firearms
In general, individuals cannot acquire the types of firearms that fall into the prohibited class. Depending on the nature of their duties, employees of business and carriers, and public officers (police or peace officer, firearms officer, prescribed employee of a federal, provincial or municipal government) may possess prohibited firearms. The following are examples of prohibited firearms:
• Handguns with a barrel length equal to or less than 105 mm (4⅛ inches);
• Handguns designed or adapted to discharge a 25- or 32-calibre cartridge (Any of the above-noted handguns are not prohibited firearms if they are used in competitions governed by the rules of the International Shooting Sport Federation and prescribed by regulation.);
• “Sawed-off” rifles or “sawed-off” shotguns less than 660 mm (26 inches) in length;
• “Sawed-off” rifles or “sawed-off” shotguns 660 mm (26 inches) or greater in length and have barrel lengths of less than 457 mm (18 inches);
• An automatic firearm;
• Any firearm that is prescribed by regulation to be a prohibited firearm.
Sounds to me that cutting the barrel can change the firearm from non-restricted straight to prohibited
Again, only if overall length when cut is below 26 inches, or when the barrel itself is cut below 18 inches.
In the case of a semi auto, you can cut barrels down to 18 inches, but below 18.5 (470mm) but greater than 18 inches and the semi auto will become restricted.

Sorry to derail but why are 25 and 32 cal prohibited??
We are all so politically correct!!!! its gonna ruin us all......
Because the government said so.
They say age brings wisdom, and in the same breath say there's no fool like an old fool.
^^Yup, same reason AR15 is restricted.
Someone should come up with a 31acp and 26acp.
Epp's makes a .30 Reid conversion that is supposed to work quite well using a .32 case
They say age brings wisdom, and in the same breath say there's no fool like an old fool.
What's the point? Guns origionally designed for 32 and 25 will stay prohibited.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes." - Thomas Jefferson, 1775.
Pistols/handguns in 25acp and 32acp are prohibited, not "guns". And no they won't stay prohibited. They can be rebarreled to other calibres such as 32acp being turned into 380acp and made restricted. Simple barrel swap on some guns.
Its done most often with 32acp browning pistol by installing a 380 barrel. Drops right in with no gunsmithing required. Simple verification results in status changing to restricted as long as the barrel exceeds 105mm.

Can some one point me to rcmp forms that basically say that if its factory its legal because I'm making a stupid silly short 50 with the help of atrs that no factory would ever make and i don't wont to be caught with a "prohib" on account that most cops or even rcmp don't know the law.
