Rossi Circuit Judge,can we have them ?

[88 man]

Looking at Rossi's web site and see these rifles.They have a couple dif cals and take 410 shells at the same time.A neat rifle and would think about buying one if we can have them up here ?.Any thoughts ?

Yes they are available here, but they are restricted and classified as a handgun

 

[88 man]

With an 18 1/2" barrel it seems stupid to be restricted imo.Must not meet the overall lenght ?

The stock is not part of the frame/receiver, unlike the Browning Buckmark rifle.
Range only, unfortunately. Stupid.

My understanding is because the rifle is the exact same frame as the revolver frame exept it has a rifle stock. You could just remove the rifle stock and replace it with the handgun grip so they decided to classify them all as handguns.

They showed a prototype in 28ga a 5 shot.The BTAF was all over it as a destructive device so manufacturing plans were shelved...was a showstopper with buckshot for home invasion....Harold

restricted-even in US they are advertised as handguns...

I was really quite surprised when I came upon the Rossi circuit judge, and saw it classified as restricted. I have been looking into revolver carbines for a while and checked with the CFO regarding their classification. Specifically the Uberti 1873 American carbine models (6-shooter, long barrel, butt stock) etc. are non-restricted. But here the receiver part accepting the stock differs from regular revolver handguns, you could not just mount a pistol grip to it.

I saw one in Wal Mart in Missouri less than a month ago for $549 and it was with all the other shotguns in the glass case but there was no indication it was restricted in any way.

if they weren't restricted, I'd have one! Useless to me on the range, it's in the bush where I could use it!
