But is that fact? Are firearms manufactured in other countries subject to the manufacturing and modification rules of ours? I am not saying you are wrong, but I have yet to see someone substantiate that claim.
That doesn't even make sense, why would a barrel that is illegal here be allowed in just because it is made in another country. Why do you think handguns come in here with 4.2 inch barrels instead of the 4 inch barrels, just for our market. The MCS barrels aren't cut downs either. The barrel ring is in a different location also, so it would involve cutting down the barrel and removing and re installing the barrel ring. For a company that makes thousands of barrels, it is nothing to just make it from scratch. Dlask makes their barrels from scratch also. I just had them custom make a 14" barrel to fit my 8.5" frame. They do start their shotguns with complete Remington express shotguns, take off the barrel and sell them and go from there. This is my 8.5 I had built off a Wingmaster frame.

It doesn't matter if the manufacturer starts with factory barrels to cut down or not - the point for Canadian law is that the company making the firearms/barrels is legally a licensed firearms manufacturer. This is no different than how a gunsmith can cut a shotgun barrel down way under legal limit in the process of sleeving in a new barrel without it being illegal. The point of the law is that Joe Blow can't just cut down his barrel himself. They are likely looking at safety, as in thinking that if a particular firearm modification is not inherently safe, a company would not sell firearms modified in that way, because they would be opening themselves up wide to litigation.
 
Even a manufacturer cannot cut down an existing barrel. That is why Dlask (and they are a licensed manufacturer) sells off the factory express barrels when he makes his short barreled shotguns. He buys complete express shotguns, sells the barrels, keeps the receiver and puts on a brand new barrel
