Walther G22 Firearms
Version 3.3 of the FRT indicates that the Walther G22 is a non-restricted firearm with a “Bullpup design”. Please disregard that entry. New information on this firearm reveals that it is currently being manufactured with an actual bull-pup stock, which is listed as a prohibited device in Criminal Code Regulations. This type of stock reduces the overall length of the firearm by placing a substantial part of the reloading action or the magazine well behind the trigger of the firearm when the firearm is held in the normal firing position.
Since individuals cannot possess prohibited devices, they cannot possess this firearm in its current configuration. Businesses may possess it only if they are licensed to possess prohibited devices for an approved purpose. Affected businesses and individuals will be contacted with information about their options.
Whether or not they are transfering them without the bullpup stock is a mystery to me. I wonder if things would change if you permanently attached the stock?

#1, They will NOT transfer the receiver, even if it has no stock. The receiver is listed as "Prohibited" in the FRT. I know, I tried, even with proof I destroyed the stock. No go.
#2, Because a court case was started to determine it's status, all current owners (some were contacted, most were not) can keep and use their Walther G22 as a non-restricted firearm. Whether or not you can lend it to another person (it IS non-restricted after all) has never been answered.
#3, No idea on when the final court date will be.
