Legal Barrel Available for 1934 Beretta 380 Auto

[GeorgeJure]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone knew of a dealer of legal Canadian length barrel for a 1934 Beretta .380 auto? Any links to the source would be appreciated.
Thanks

Most likely a custom deal only. Bits of pieces in BC will convert a 12(6) to restricted, possibly others as well.

Ellwood Epps does conversions and is licensed to manufacture parts. Try contacting their gunsmithing department to see if they'll do it.

Thanks maxman1

I will get as much info from the gun and send them an email to see if they can do it.

I see your in my large area, can you give me any names of "Good Gun Shops" in this part of Ontario? I`m looking for older Beretta hand guns and German WWII rifles.

I contacted epps last year about that very gun and they would do it

I got my Walther pp restricted barrel done by Epps, but be prepared to wait 6~ months

Yep. I waited 9 months for the CFC to approve my Luger as restricted... they seem to be playing games

I got my Walther pp restricted barrel done by Epps, but be prepared to wait 6~ months

On a similar note, that's about the same wait for myself and an M4 restricted H&R survival rifle to be changed to a non-restricted variant from Epps too.

I waited 9 months on the paperwork for an S&W model 34 done through Bits of Pieces. It seems like a fairly typical wait for our permission slip.

Hello again

Any idea roughly for the price of a legal barrel for a 1934 Beretta .380 auto? Also how does one start and finish the process from the government to get the Beretta to be classified as legal?
Thanks

My S&W was ~$300 and I think that was the going rate for most conversions a few years ago when mine was done. Assuming you are buying the gun as a 12(6) from someone this is how it goes:

1) Make deal for gun, pay owner. He stays as the registered owner with the CFC.
2) Owner sends gun to gunsmith of your choice for the conversion.
3) Conversion is done, paperwork for reclassification is submitted by the gunsmith to the CFC.
4) Wait ~9 months.
5) Eventually the bureaucrats lower themselves to do a particle of work and notice your paperwork and the gun is reclassified from 12(6) to restricted.
6) Pay gunsmith for his work.
7) Owner now starts a normal restricted transfer process to the buyer.
8) Transfer is approved and the gun is sent to its new owner.
