Would it be legal to have a 14inch shotgun barrel on a shotgun with a knoxx breachers grip?

The grip is long and I was curious if it would be just on the border of the legal length or under it.

With a normal pistol grip I know its a no go, but seeing as the knoxx one is longer I thought I would ask.


Thanks.
 
i have had a similar discussion with a lady from the RCMP . she initiated the conversation in relation to the purchase of a dlask shotgun with an 8.5 inch barrel and i really do not think it matters the length of the gun . in their interpretation putting a pistol grip on a shotgun with a barrel length of 16 inches or less and ,voila ,you have created a handgun. their has been lots of discussion on this board about the subject both pro and con and it will take a court case were some one is charged before it gets cleared up .to repeat i do not think overall length is the sticker but barrel length seems to be .
 
i do not think there is a legal length to define a shotgun or a rifle or we would not have the mares leg . i repeat it is the RCMP determining that you have created a HANDGUN at a SIXTEEN inch barrel or less combined with a pistol grip as i was told by Valerie from the RCMP.you can believe me or refuse to believe me at your peril .

My humble two cents:

The FRT actually states that it MAY be defined as a handgun if a manufactured pistol grip is combined with a manufactured barrel that is less than 16" in length, where the overall length is less than 26". Note that the combo referred to by the OP is greater than 26". Now, if a manufactured shoulder stock was combined with a barrel and the OAL is less than 26" (rare, but the Mare's leg is an example) it is still considered non-restricted because it is intended to be fired using both hands. A pistol grip only however makes it intended in the RCMP's eyes to be fired by one hand, making it a handgun and restricted. Did you make it clear to the RCMP employee that the combination you envisioned would still be over 26" OAL?

It's Canadian Fireams Law, and wasn't intended to make sense.
