Selling the gun without the magazine will not solve this issue as the JR Carbine was registered with the CFO as being able to hold 10-shots. Regardless of whether the magazine comes with the gun or is purchased or shipped separately, the JR is registered as a 10-shot semi-automatic centre-fire rifle, and will therefore be subject to review for all transfers, just as the CX4 Storm is reviewed whether it is sold as a Restricted model with the factory barrel, or a Non-Restricted model with a longer aftermarket barrel installed.
This is not an Epps matter, but a CFO ruling. If you have questions or concerns about this practice, please feel free to discuss the matter with your MP, or with the CFO directly. This notice was simply posted to advise all potential buyers of the pending delays to transfers for this rifle.
