Restricted Outlaw...making one

IIRC altering the gun by cutting the stock would make it prohib.

As claybuster says cutting is a no-no. But it seems to me that installing an aftermarket grip would be OK- as long as it wasn't made by cutting an original stock. same logic as for short barrels
You have 30 days to report the change. The old stock is jusy a piece of wood at that point, but cutting it and installing it back is likely a grey area, with precedent leaning to prohin

That's my point of dumb ass laws.
He has already stated he want's to follow the law and re-register it properly.
What's the difference between a purchaced PG and a Hand Crafted authentic PG?
Just ranting a bit, cause the grey area is annoying!

Certianly with 870s you can purchase a PG from a PG manufacturer and fit it and reregister. I haven't heard of any manufacuted ones for the Outlaw yet... so it seems to me carving a PG is OK as long as you don't make it from an original stock. yes the law is an ass but at east we have one- can you imagine the situation if there were no guidelines - today it's oK, tomorrow it's not. OK per Alberta CFO, prohib by Quebec CFO etc.
There is a neat little shotgun called the Ithaca Auto and Burglar form the 1920's? -they come up for sale every now & then- looks just like a pistol gripped Outlaw ( not sure if hammers are exposed or internal), but in 20 gauge. It's restricted only, not prohib.

I know our laws are ridiculous but this seems a bit extreme, what difference would it make if I made a PG from an old stock or from a hunk of hardwood growing in my backyard? Even if this law was inforced, no one would be able to tell what you carved your PG from
calling the cfc is a waste of time . its not possible to get the same answer to a question .i have had them tell me that an antique handgun was illegal to posses .if you get advice from them get it in writing .i had to point out to them the sections of the law that allowed possesion i own 2 pistol gripped shotguns .both are restricted.dont cut your stock or you will be creating a prohibited gun if it goes below 26 inches .

Yep it does seem extreme doesn't it. Actually I think the CFC should be consulted
It's stupid but they told me it has to be store bought from an actual manufacturer (like dlask) Making it yourself doesn't count, just like you can buy an 12.5 inch barrel but cannot cut down an existing barrel under 18 inches, not even a gunsmith is allowed to do that.
Cutting or shortening guns for illegal purposes is a crime....
Cutting or shortening guns for legal shooting should not be a crime....
All these old laws about sawed off guns and swithblades etc. only punish the law abiding citizens....let's outlaw criminal actions and leave the tools out of it!
