    why is this restricted?
    The possession of arms is the distinction of a free man from a slave.

    The RCMP classified it as a 5 shot revolver, thus restricted.

    Basically, if you remove the wood stock you find the exact same frame and metal grip area as the standard Judge revolver: it's basically a handgun with the grips swapped on the same frame for a stock and a 18.5" barrel. It was a great disappointment with many moans from at least a number of wannabe buyers that it was deemed restricted.

    Nice gun though.

    Most hunting regulations list hunting with a "revolver" as prohibited. Regardless of length, barrel length etc. Can't plug a revolver to 3 shot total capacity like a tube fed shotgun with a 2+1 total.

    There are .22lr Browning rifles that are essentially Buckmark pistols and they're non restricted. The RCMP is all over the place.
    Once your ad sells, edit prefix from WTS to Pls Remove and change the title to SOLD by clicking go advanced. I'm tired of clicking on ten ads a day, only to see the word sold where the price was.

    If you take the wood off those Brownings you find a steel armature welded to the frame that goes back to support the stock. It's a different frame than the pistols. This circuit judge has the exact same frame as the revolvers. The stock is purely wood held on with screws; no steel armature.

    The RCMP are inconsistent but in these two examples they seem to make sense.

    By this thinking, shouldn't the 10/22 charger pistol make the entire 10/22 lineup restricted?

    The 10/22 was first made as a rifle. The charger pistol came years after. Unlike the taurus judge.

    Rossi would have to modify the frame so it would be designed for the rifle version.
