maybe I missed the news, but does this mean that everybody who bought one of these previously are all restricted? I thought these were non restricted all along?
The thing i know,from a really qualify shop,because i ask them to convert one for me,long answer short he couldnt do it,simply because their is only a restricted FRT,no non restricted frt have been issued.
That makes no sense, I have converted several restricted firearms to NON RESTRICTED without there being any NR frt. Infact I created some of the first NR frt for several firearms

Well tell this to Herron arms,i think they know how to un-rectricted a firearms and that what was their answer,non restricted FRT for the CMR-30 so they dont do it converting them to non restricted.
BHAHAHAHHAHAHA yeah ok cuz Ian is the one who has done ALL of my conversions
i have one,non restricted,the stock is modified so it does not slide in all the way, so it stays over 26 inches. length is the reason they are restricted. because the pmr pistol takes the same mag it is pinned from 30 to 10. maybe a good thing being the price of 22 mag. lol its very well made,works great,light and compact.
If they were imported NR then they are fine, otherwise they would be restricted at entry and require registration, in non "Canadian edition" unmodified direct from kel tec its restricted due to OAL . It no different then having a short barrel and Long barrel version of the same rifle since the OAL or in centerfires case barrel length is the defined reason for classification. Unlike the AR platform being restricted by name and i think this is what is confusing people. Look at Springfield's M1As the socom 18" is restricted and the 20" is not due to barrel length. The ACR conversions, Ps90 conversions to NR etc etc.But, I fit's just "pinned" to be "within the law" …..and with no non-restricted FRT attached to it per say......a guy might be askin for a whole world of hassle getting stopped in the bush with one of these, If they can type or call it in and get back a frt# and paperwork...it would be a quickly resolved issue.
But if they call/type in into the system...and nothing comes back...you know bureaucrats work...they will just take it, saying it has to be inspected....and good luck seeing it again for a few months..to maybe a few years...tied up in bureaucratic "red tape"
Having said that, I really wish they would come fully NR, the 22mag is an awesome round...would make for a great pack/survival rifle....because you could carry a ton of ammo ...with hardly any weight or taking up too much space
If they can get it cleared up...I'll definitely get a CMR and a PMR....really cool little guns
LOVE the 22WMR
