Has anyone seen a HK USC in stock anywhere?

Reducing the length of any barrel below 18", regardless of whether it is already less than 18" in the restricted class, will make it a prohibited firearm. Getting caught will cause you to loose you rights to own firearms. You can however replace the barrel with an newly manufactured barrel of a reduced length. It doesn't make sense... I know. The law is clear and there is precidence in court to support the decision. You can cut a barrel down to 18 inches however, just not past.

I believe you are wrong. People shorten AR15 barrels all the time.

True... true. And people take phallic shaped objects up into inappropriate places all the time as well. They probably seen it on the internet once and someone told them it was ok as well. Doesn't make it right, and more importantly 'legal'.

The law is clear and regardless of interpretation of wannabe lawyers and advocates the precedence in the courts is that some poor saps who thought they heard it was ok because they heard it from some anonymous entity on the internet are losing not just their firearms but their privilage to own and possess firearms as well.

Call your CFO, know the law.

Or conversely lob it off with a hacksaw, run down to the local police detatchment to show them the handiwork and suffer a fools fate. Let me know how it turns out...

PS: I'm not calling you a fool... I just write the way I talk... nothing personal amigo. I just wouldn't want to be responsible for causing someone else harm by leading them astray with here say. My only point is 'Be Informed Before Advising Others' .

HK USC's have a 16 inch barrel, they are already restricted.


Shortening the barrel on them to 10 inches or whatever wouldn't change that at all.


If they were SPECIFICALLY designed with an 18.5 inch barrel, and were NON restricted, THEN shortening the barrel would be illegal.

The Criminal Code defines the following firearms as prohibited includes "rifles and shotguns that have been altered so that their barrel length is less than 457 mm (about 18 inches) or their overall length is less than 660 mm (about 26 inches)"

There is no mention in law at all of barrels being at first restricted or not before alteration. The only point is that alteration to be less that 457mm makes the firearm prohibited.

There seems to be confusion between what makes sense, what should logically be, what people want/wish and Canadian Firearms Law which ranks right up there with Canadian Tax Law for making sense.
