I borrowed a friends shotgun and did this to it. Think he will be mad?

I didn't know it was legal to take a saw to chop your shotgun down. Am I wrong?

Definition of a Restricted Firearm

According to the Criminal Code, a restricted firearm is:

* a semi-automatic, centre-fire rifle or shotgun with a barrel length less than 470 mm (18.5 inches) that is not prohibited;
* a rifle or shotgun that can fire when its overall length is reduced by folding, telescoping or some other means to less than 660 mm (26 inches);

The Criminal Code states that a prohibited firearm is:

* a rifle or shotgun that has been altered to make it less than 660 mm (26 inches) in overall length;
* a rifle or shotgun that has been altered to make the barrel length less than 457 mm (18 inches) where the overall firearm length is 660 mm (26 inches) or more;

But, aren't bull pups illegal?

And hollow points, they're banned for being explosive.

And tracers are "heat-seeking."

Never Mind, no point in stating it.

just saw this thread. Nice work!

 

[freezer filler]

I think i'll borrow something from one of my friends...

 

[Stumpfian]

Whats the overall length on this now? Thinking about doing something similar, but pistol grip only. (I want one completly impractical gun with no useful purpose)

Head for the hills or have a NIB replacement to return to him.....I would think.

You can't NIB your first gun given to you by your brother.

I would have been pissed even though I think you did a good job on it. Good thing your friend likes it. I guess now he has his first gun given to him by his brother and pimped by his buddy.

 

[pirate604]

That Gun looks great. Some times you just have to say f*ck it and make the cut. Glad your friend likes it.

Sand man, kudos on that 'article'.

 

[Dave_Shotgun]

Nice job on the shotgun and glad to hear that your buddy likes it.

 

[Dave_K]

I'm glad it was his beater shotgun and not a heirloom.

Looks rad though. Kudos.

 

[Jeepster]

you bugger now I want to go and try somthing like that

 

[cowbelly]

I guess you will find out how good of friends you are .....or were.
It does look nice though.

 

[cyclone]

I really dident think it was Legal to cut the barrel off ?

It's all in the details.......not unlike , say , the devil....

 

[spenom]

just going to bump this one for myself because I just bought a cooey and plan on doing the project again but pistol gripping it for hiking. Probably more of a noise maker than anything but I would rather scare away any threats anyway.

 

[terez]

I gat a box full of ole ####ter 12g singles I'll send yer way......can we be friends?? LOL

PS No worries as i don't lend out heirlooms......

 

[Camaroguy]

If it were my shotgun, we wouldn't be friends anymore. Glad he liked it though and you a good job. Just wouldn't want it done to mine.

 

[Vengeance]

I have the same old shotgun getting dust on it. You have given me inspiration to get to work on it.
