norinco jw 2000 legal?

Don't worry about not knowing, we had a gun show here & 2 cops argued for 2 hrs & finally came back & apologize. The gun has a manufactured barrel & an overall length of over 26". You can not cut the barrel to less than 18" but if it is manufacture with shorter its OK. (makes sence I know) The main point is the over all length of a Factory gun.
 
ok that answers my second question because I would rather have an over under and was gonna find a cheap one and cut it down, but if that makes it restricted I am just gonna stay away from that idea and buy that jw2000

Cutting the barrel makes it prohibited not restricted. Dont try to understand the gun laws, it will make your head hurt!

Give your head a shake! And learn something. On Manual Operated guns you can Cut a barrel to 18" on Semi-Auto you can cut the Barrel to 18.5".

Definition of a prohibited firearm

According to the Criminal Code, a prohibited firearm is:



  • a handgun that
    • has a barrel equal to or less than 105 mm in length, or
    • is designed or adapted to discharge a 25 or 32 calibre cartridge, but does not include any such handgun that is prescribed, where the handgun is for use in international sporting competitions governed by the rules of the International Shooting Union,
  • a firearm that is adapted from a rifle or shotgun, whether by sawing, cutting or any other alteration, and that, as so adapted,
    • is less than 660 mm in length, or
    • is 660 mm or greater in length and has a barrel less than 457 mm in length,
  • an automatic firearm, whether or not it has been altered to discharge only one projectile with one pressure of the trigger, or
  • any firearm that is prescribed to be a prohibited firearm

The point I was trying to make is: If you cut a barrel shorter than legal length it become prohib, not restricted. Taking a 12" DA Grizzly (for instance) and change the stock from a full butt stock to a pistol grip can change it the classification from restricted to non-restricted (assuming its properly verified and not done at home to avoid having an unregistered restricted weapon). I'm sure if I missed anything someone will correct me.:)
