Over all length is over ALL length.
Did you look in the CCC?

Also there is no such thing as an SBR under Canadian law.

Muzzle brake, extra thick rubber shoulder pad over the stock, etc, etc.
Over all length is the total length. And you don't need to weld or pin the muzzle attachment on to get there.
If the lower length is under the minimum it would have to be pinned to not go under that length?

but does not include the length of any component, part or accessory including any component, part or accessory designed or intended to suppress the muzzle flash or reduce recoil.

It is part of the overall length. If I asked you how long you rifle is you would measure from the rubber butt pad on the stock to the end of the barrel which would include and Muzzle device.
That is how long the gun is overall. Or.... overall length.
Why is this so bloody tough?

If the stock is folded and can fire that is the shortest overall length and would be classified as such. People pin stocks so the won't fold so the gun is measured at the longer length overall.
Remember that some people shoot only pistols/full bore rifle/shotgun and didn't remember every part of the myriad rules and regulations that is the firearms act. Besides the fact that the firearms act is written in "lawyer-speak", it isn't that hard to realize that people might not know everything. That's why they ask questions.

True, but there are an astonishing number of people who don't know the legal requirements for minimum overall length to remain non restricted, or the minimum barrel length for a restricted handgun. The rest of the firearms course is all but useless. Instructors and students need to focus on the fundamental four rules of firearms handling and the legal side and all but ignore the rest.

"Overall length" is lawyer speak???
OAL is from the affixed buttpad (not slip-on) to the muzzle of the barrel (NOT including muzzle devices) and must exceed 26.1" (converted from metric).

Love to know where you got that gem... It's simply not true.

Your statement is wrong. And that is why there is an argument against it. Post the law that proves your statement.
OAL includes muzzle devices. Barrel length does not include extensions such as brakes or hiders whether pinned or welded.
OVERALL LENGTH. Amazing how so many people can't grasp simple English. It is two words. Not legal jargon. Not Latin.

would folding stock and muzzle device not be covered by that - when it says "by folding or other means"
to me as a normal citizen that says must be over 660mm when folded with no muzzle device added to get the OAL.
case in point, if you go to Dlask's webpage he has his DAR22 and states its legal and shows a pic of it beside a tape measure showing it to be 26 1/4" from butt to barrel end with no device on it. id imagine a canadian manufacturer knows where the line has been drawn in the sand and would choose not to cross that line, no?
