True.. I have a 8.5 inch shotgun with a pistol grip and it’s restricted as a shotgun and not classified as a handgun due to the reciever being the same as the full-size shotgun (I had a nice long agruement with the RCMP about that one as they wanted to register it as a handgun when I was reclassify it). the charger should of been classified as a rifle since it’s the same reciever as a 10/22 rifle. Unless I’m wrong and the reciever is different.
