Keltec PLR-22 pistol Question

[dinhulks]

HI,

Just wondering if it is legal to put a foldable stock/lower gp. to my PLR 22 without any changes to my firearm registration?
Putting the foldable stock on this restricted pistol will make it a restricted rifle.
I know you need to pay something in the U.S. to do this. Does it apply to Canada?

thanks/.

Installing a stock of any kind will not affect anything. It won't become a restricted rifle it will remain a pistol.

Definition of a Restricted Firearm






According to the Criminal Code, a restricted firearm is:

• A handgun that is not a prohibited firearm;
• A semi-automatic, centre-fire firearm with a barrel length less than 470 mm that is not a prohibited firearm;
• A firearm that can fire after being reduced, by folding, telescoping or otherwise, to an overall length of less than 660 mm; and
• Any firearm prescribed under the Criminal Code regulations to be restricted (including some long guns).

Since the firearm is registered as a handgun, it will always be considered a handgun. Even if it were modified to meet all other requirements for non restricted status, the handgun classification on the registration certificate will keep it restricted.

As others have said, it remains a pistol.
