not enough 22lr pistol carbines out there

But the kit comes with another barrel so it should be able to be re-registered as a non restricted. Like the CX4 storm, with a longer barrel they are non-restricted

Once a pistol always a pistol, rebarreling won't change anything. It would have to come from the factory in that configuration.

Guess the first thing to clarify is what the frame is on a ruger MK 1 2 or 3 pistol is.
My understanding is that it is the top portion and not the grip. If this is the case it would not need to be classed as a firearm (like the CCU carbine kit).

If it is the grip we are SOL.

The frame is the registered part of a handgun not the barrel. I am not sure if the rugers barrel is considered a reciever but I wouldn't think so. If they sold this as a complete unit it would be a diff story.

Did any of you see the EAA .22cal bullpup?

Supposedly, it will come in .22 WMR, .17 HMR and .22 LR.

Looks interesting.

Barrel is way too long. Ugly IMO.

Agreed. Definetly not a firearm Id purchase. The Buckmark is a much better firearm. What ever happened to Walther g22's? Im unsure as to thier availability or status.

###y, G22 lokalike. I hope we can get them up here....

There are a few threads on them, long story short... You can't buy one right now.

But with the RCMP's recent decision to let the Hi-Point carbines in after first saying they wouldn't, anything could happen. And hopefully soon.

I saw the Beretta at the SHOT show, nice piece of kit, but it would still be restricted as it is a kit that attaches to the pistol.

Uhhh NO!

The upper receiver/barrel is the registerable part of a Ruger MK2. The pistol grip is a non-registerable trigger group.

The barrel is not easily removable from a Ruger MK2 upper receiver. The kit pictured in the OP has to have an upper receiver and barrel. It would not use the original pistol upper receiver. Thus it would not be classed as restricted because it comes with a new upper receiver and a long carbine barrel.

The frame is the registered part of a handgun not the barrel. I am not sure if the rugers barrel is considered a reciever but I wouldn't think so.

You are correct however the barrel of a Ruger MK2 is not easily removable from the upper receiver so in practical terms the two are the same thing.
