They were restricted rifle/shotgun to start with... Or is this something else.
Rossi Circuit Judge SCJ4510, 410/45 Colt, 18 1/2 in, Hardwood Stock, Blue
Restricted to start with always has been because it uses a revolver action... They use the same frame in the pistol thats why.
When they first were coming in the prices were 1,200-1,400 they went restircted then it droped to 1,000 and now it's 799 since so few people want them.

They have been imported and sold as NON-restricted for a couple years... our LGS has had them and sold many... so have a number of others I checked with... the LGS received a bulletin from the RCMP indicating that they were NOW rstricted and they had to make follow-up calls to all purchasers.
Um, as far as I know, the only legit source for these has been Sean Hanson at Freedom Ventures. He's the Rossi distributor, and was the first to announce that they had been deemed restricted before (I believe) a single one left his hands.
I don't see how any retailer got them without knowing they were restricted.

The distributor sent them to a number of LGS's... and the paperwork is apparently catching up... wouldn't be the first miscommunication... look at the retailers that still proclaim the BX-25 mags legal, becasue their distibutor shipped them.

They have always been restricted!
This has been discussed to death several times over when they were first released.

Well that's stupid. Good thing there resritced wouldn't want them in gang wars
I hear ya! When I first saw one, I wanted one for use in the bush, not on the range! As you say: "what a P.O."
Does a DA revolver action classify as a "semi-auto" - one bullet per trigger pull, no bolt or lever, or other mechanical means necessary to chamber the next round. That's probably why it's restricted. Too bad... it's not painted black, has no flash supressor, or anything that makes it look scary...
Mossberg would make that!
As nothing to do with the fact that it is DA. As already mentionned, it is a revolver with a rifle stock attached. It is the same frame as their revolver, you can remove the rifle stock and replace it with a revolver grip, therefore they classified it as a revolver.
I was pissed right off after handling one of these in the states to find they're restricted here. The argument you could swap on pistol grips and have a pistol makes no sense as I could cut off the stock and cut down the barrel on a hunting rifle just as easily. One of those would make a sweet little woods rifle (okay admittedly I've always thought they were a cool design after seeing their ancestors at civil war reenactments).
