The Canadian models were made in Drummondville Quebec in a plant set up by H&R. It shut down due to labour problems. I have been looking into these for a while but haven't been able to find anything official stating which planes they were in. I was told that they were removed from the planes shortly after being issued because it was decided that the same weight in emergency rations would be more help to a downed pilot than a tiny rifle.
They are restricted because the can be fired with the stock collapsed, making it under 26" overall length. This means that they would automatically be used for robbing banks and killing babies if not restricted. I bought mine from a fellow who had carried it on his tractor for years to shoot groundhogs. I imagine it would have been pretty handy for that.
are they restricted due to OAL ?
I really want one.....

For a rifle that could be replicated in basic form with almost any .22lr or .22hornet action, some spare metal bits and bobs, and about 20 minutes with a welder... This gun is an almost pure example of why our gun laws are dumb.
