Restricted to Non-Restricted conversions

My understanding of the law is that you can convert NR to R but not back the other way ...

Your understanding is incorrect. Nothing in law expressly creates such a rule.

Each firearm is classified by applying the definitions as set out in S 84 of the criminal code. Any modification to the firearm has the potential to move the firearm in to a more or less punitive classification.

There are a few characteristics that can determine classification status that even if changed will not result in a change of legal classification, for example, once a handgun, always a handgun (and therefore always at least restricted), and Once a Full auto, always a Prohib.

Firearms, other than handguns, that are classed as restricted strictly because of a short barrel length are usually open to moving to the NR class if you simply add a barrel of sufficient length.

This is correct right here ^

I got my restricted USC45 converted to NR. Got a dlask barrel and had a local gun shop here verify it. Took about a month or so (calling once a week). As long as its FRT states it is restricted by barrel length (and not as a variant of the AR or whatever) then it absolutely can be changed to NR.
