my brother has owned a m1 carbine for over 15 to 20 years..............when he got it it was considered non restricted ..........

at that time, he had a barrel extension heat shrunk on the barrel to increase its lenth ........over 18 inches........

his son just took his non restricted pal course an was told off hand ALL M1 CARBINES NO MATTER WERE ALL NOW CONSIDERED RESTRICTED ...
true /not true ??
when did this happen ? oic?

were can i get this confirmed or debunked .........all answers most welcomed:)
 
M1 Carbines are restricted due to barrel length of 18",

I have an M1 Carbine with a para stock and 20 inch barrel and it is non restricted.

Adding something onto the barrel to increase its length doesn't make it non restricted, I had to re barrel mine with a 20 inch barrel.
 
Adding something permanently to the muzzle to increase the barrel "length" used to be fine. Not any more.

M1 Carbines are restricted or not solely by barrel length.

Wait a second, the M1 carbine was restricted back in the late 1970's as the Gov. at that time felt this rifle was the choice rifle of biker gangs. Anyhow, many legal owners of M1's had the barrels extended to free them from the restiction class. Those M1's that had the barrel lengthen before, I think it was C-68?, are allowed to remain non-restricted, but no more can be lengthen today.

Non-restricted M1 Carbine

Here is another way around the restricted issue - I recently bought one which had been converted to pump-action. It's a neat little gun with the original 18" barrel, but not semi-auto.

No. An M-1 with a barrel extension is restricted. An M-1 with a 18 1/2+" barrel is non-restricted. Guess what? They changed the rules.
 
No.
It would be perfectly legal to extend the barrel, but it would not change the restricted classification.
 
RIFLED barrel, guys.
Only the actual RIFLED part counts.
You can weld/solder/heat shrink/duct tape whatever you want to the front, but they will still only count the rifled part. They changed the rules in the late 80's or early 90's.
 
I have a question about this. If you have a registration certificate from before the change that says the gun is non-restricted, and no one has ever sent you any information to the contrary, why would you not exist in perfect bliss? We know the people at the registry are never wrong, right?
 
thats my point /question in a manner of speaking.

the below is my bros situation ...........was registered as legal non restricted with the barrel extention ..............now if rules changed in mid 80s and no one pointed such out or contacted him ect should he worry ?
he has the certificates ect ...........
ok now comments /info ?

if at worst he SHOULD need a longer barrel whats the going cost for such.??
