AR barrel chop?

[twoshots]

Are you allowed to cut a 20" AR barrel to 16"? I'm not sure if standard rules apply since ar's are restricted anyways. thanks.

I have a 20" Colt hbar 1-9 twist. Would there be any problems with this twist?

Just update your registration

And go to jail. Call the CFC and askwhat they think of the word "barrel" and the word "hacksaw". I brought this same topic up months back and it is illegal.

You can replace a long barrel with a short one, but you can not cut a long barrel down. You wouldn't want to do that yourself anyway, the barrels are chrome lined. If you don't have the tools and skills the chrome will flake, and so will your accuracy.

Embrace your inner Buddhist and look for the good in the bad...

If the CFC tells me I HAVE to get another barrel or two, who am I to argue. I could do worse than having more AR parts.

When does the stupidity of a beurocracy end? WTF does it matter the length of a at barrel? As long as it's over 104mm it's restricted right?

technically its handguns with a barrel less than 105mm, and an AR is a rifle...

oh well,
no big deal, I have a 14.5 so I'll just leave it be.

I found the link from when I asked this very same question back in October. It turned into a 3 page discussion of the criminal code and it's interpretation, it's an interesting read, but gives you some bad news.

this is off the FRT listing for a remington 870 shotgun, but please note exception 3 is where this affects the AR15 as the law is currently interpreted by the RCMP Firearm Forensics Division.

YES, you are allowed to chop the barrel.

If you put the barrel on the firearm or chop the barrel while its on the firearm, the firearm becomes prohibited.

an AR is a rifle...

Mine isn't.

dlask or whoever they can customize it to whatever length they want (over 105mm) buy it back call CFC and report your new barrel length and they will issue you a new cert in 2 years or less.

Actually, Dlask will not chop rifle barrels under 18.5"... Dlask makes shorter rifle barrels to shorter length from blanks. I had this discussion at Dlask a few months back.
