"Definition of a Restricted Firearm
According to the Criminal Code, a restricted firearm is:
A handgun that is not a prohibited firearm;
A semi-automatic, centre-fire firearm with a barrel length less than 470 mm that is not a prohibited firearm;
A firearm that can fire after being reduced, by folding, telescoping or otherwise, to an overall length of less than 660 mm; and
Any firearm prescribed under the Criminal Code regulations to be restricted (including some long guns).
The Criminal Code defines the following firearms as prohibited:
automatics, including those that have been converted so that they can only fire one projectile when the trigger is squeezed;
handguns with a barrel length of 105 mm (4.1 inches) or less, and handguns that discharge .25 or .32 calibre ammunition, except for a few specific models used in International Shooting Union competitions;.
rifles and shotguns that have been altered so that their barrel length is less than 457 mm (about 18 inches) or their overall length is less than 660 mm (about 26 inches); or
any firearm prescribed as prohibited – These can be found in the fact sheet listing restricted and prohibited firearms. "
From the Canada Firearms website:
From what I understand, shorty shotguns like this aren't considered restricted or prohibted because:
1) They aren't semi auto
2) A pistol grip isn't a reduction of an original stock. It doesn't fold or telescope
3) The barrel hasn't been altered. That is the original factory issue.
I think Dlask was in the middle of a debate with Canada firearms over this very thing.
The problem here is you are quoting the CFC's paraphrased version of the regulation, not the actual regulation. The reg says if the firearm is made to fire with a length of less than 660mm, it is restricted. A pistol grip does this.From the Canada Firearms website:

Seems pretty clear to me......altered so their overall lenght is less then 26".rifles and shotguns that have been altered so that their barrel length is less than 457 mm (about 18 inches) or their overall length is less than 660 mm (about 26 inches)
Less talk, more rock (gun pictures).
