Change the buttock and get it reclassified as non restricted

 

[paul792]

Nice.

 

[Rgrabowski]

Thought these were NR

 

[bollox]

Thought these were NR

NR have 12” bbls. These are 9”

 

[Rgrabowski]

Barrel length has nothing to do with it.

NR have 12” bbls. These are 9”

 

[Smcx]

I sure could go for a 12" version.

 

[McCoy]

Thought these were NR

The 9" version is considered restricted by the RCMP.

I have a Rossi ranch hand and for sure they are a blast to shoot

Yet if you shortened the 12 to the 9 you haven’t broken a single law

Yet if you shortened the 12 to the 9 you haven’t broken a single law

If you took a 12"one and shortened it to 9", you have 100% definitely broken the law and are now in possession of a prohibited firearm regardless whether it has a full length stock on it or not.

Yep, semi auto or single shot, you (including gunsmiths) can’t cut a barrel to anything below 18”. Do, and you’ve manufactured a prohib firearm.

That's not law, that's an interpretation and I still don't see were that guy interprets that it would be illegal to swap for a 9" on a gun with a 12" that's already under 26"

 

[FAQMAT]

Pointless arguing. Nobody’s gonna cut a Mares Leg barrel from 12" to 9".

 

[maifire]

If it were 12”, would oal class it non?

 

[Ex3dy]

Are these registered as Pistols?

 

[70m4h4wk]

If it were 12”, would oal class it non?

Even with the 12 inch barrel they are less than 26 inches but they are still non-restricted because they don't hit any of the criteria to be restricted.

Are these registered as Pistols?

They must be to be restricted. I saw another batch that claimed to be non restricted so I don't know how that works out.

Pointless arguing.

That's what the internet is for.
