so if there was a fixed stock and a slight barrel extension would these be non restricted?
I don't think it would be a slight extension.
Would be OAL. Not barrel length as rimfire.
I'd even be happy to see the conversion kits come in, but usually for the price of conversion kits, your better off just buying a full other gun in 22.
Someone please school me, I have not looked into this much.
What is the due process in Canada if one is to reconfigure a 22lr firearm like this to meet NR requirements and get it recognized? Is it doable?
For example to weld the stock in extended position, replace with longer barrel, etc.
I think this gun will be quite attractive in that configuration, a simple barrel fake-can shroud will that the long barrel oddness away.
Cheers.
Once it is registered, it will always be registered and restricted
BUT, if it is imported as non-restricted and no restricted registration cert is ever issued for it, then it is non-restricted.
I've never much cared for the centerfire versions of these, as I've got no interest in stocking the calibers.
But for some reason this seems like a great gun in .22
Might have to "buy it for the wife".
