are M1 Carbines legal in Canada?

[gold N' gunz]

i noticed the barrel length of the carbine is only 18" isnt that too short to be legal an answer is appreciated

 

[Juster]

Yes they are, no it isn't. It is restricted, there are non-restricted with longer barrels.

Owning an M1 Carbine will make your wiener fall off. Please rush your M1's to me promptly for proper disposal.

Non-restricted M1??

"...Non-restricted M1??..." Few and far between. Back in 1978ish, when the Socialist F**ks created the 18" or longer law for semi-auto centrefires, Iver Johnson made some 19" barreled carbines. They're not made any more. There are a few around, but not many.
Until the current batch of stupid laws, it was ok to add a piece of barrel to a carbine and that made it unrestricted. You can't do that now.
Issue 15 and 30 round mags are evil all by themselves too.

i have had both restricted & non- restricted M-1 carbines, fun guns too shoot, very reliable. and the non-restricted made a nice brush gun for deer.

Back in the mid 80's a Guy in Toronto was pumping out barrels and rebarrelling as well as making the M1 into a 45win mag as another option. The M1 frame didn't hold up well to the 45 win mag and the guy went bust.

They never was illegal here. We had one in the family for 18 years, I still shoot it, I had it out couple months ago.
