Any hope bringing in DESERT TECH TREK- 22 - 10/22 BULL-PUP
- Thread starter pertain
- Start date
No matter how you slice it the desert tech will always be a bullpup stock. The reason why the Tavor/Type 97/RDB bullpups are legal in Canada is that stock itself is the firearm.
Not a firearm (10/22) + Stock (desert tech stock)
An "enterprising company" would basically have to reinvent the desert tech stock to become a firearm. There is no specific "bullpup receiver" that makes bullpup firearms legal, just the wording of our laws that a bullpup stock that converts a firearm is illegal.

This is exactly true. Seems like it wouldn't be too complicated or expensive to produce for how many would sell.

It has literally nothing to do with Trudeau and has been the law of the land for decades.

I've been a gun owner over 20 years and it was a law back then. Had nothing to do with Trudeau. I believe it came into law around the early/mid 90s.
As fun as blaming all of our problems on Justin Trudeau is this was a rule Pre-JT
OK here's a bit of a legal mind bender. A kit that converts a rifle to a bullpup is prohibited. A kit that converts a pistol to a bullpup is OK because you are not converting a rifle. Could you therefore make a kit that converts the ruger 10/22 challenger pistol to a bullpup?
Incidentally with the freezing of pistol sales in Canada does this mean that the 10/22 pistol magazine is not widely available in Canada and that the 10/22 rifle can revert to their original capacity magazines?

Not with the turd in power
Well the 10/22 magazine issue was a pretty flimsy argument from the RCMP. It was going to be ripped to shreds in the court case, but Ruger wouldn't play ball with the parties that were bringing the suit against the RCMP so the whole thing fell apart.
