Daewoo DP-51 / K5 pistol

[BCAMPBELL]

Does anyone know if this is registered as restricted or prohib? Barrel length is listed at 105mm, makes me wonder if measured with a dowel if it over 105mm
(I've read that the cfo measures the barrel with a dowel down the barrel to the bolt face).

Daewoo is the korean version of panasonic. Like panasonic, I think they make EVERYTHING. Tractor - check. Gun - check. Nuclear reactor - check. Car - check. (Chevy Aveo = Daewoo)

43 DP51's in Canada (thank you ottwa citizen database)

36 are prohibited and 7 are restricted.

I'm just doing my R-PAL course tomorrow. The break point from my reading is 105 or less is prohibited. Maybe they measured some with a caliper and found them to be a tenth or two of a mm over 105...

Thankyou for giving me the chance for this snap quiz....

Thanks John, I thought there maybe a few restricted vs prohib depending on who verified it. I've read that if the measurement is very close to 105mm that the cfo have their lab measure the length instead of your local verifier.
A friend of mine has one that was put in prohib. I wonder how much resistace I would get if I try to get it re-registered to restricted asuming when I measure it I find it to be slightly longer than 105mm.

Wonder if its possible to get an aftermarket barrel, that is longer? Maybe different production years had different sized barrels?

Another barrel would be a nice option. I will have to do some looking around for options. Nice little 9mm, it's to bad it's in prohib.
