thanks for the input Harrier!
Hopefully the fine people at the CFC will find something better to do with all their "free" time and not waste energy and resources trying to re-think the existing law.
 
Doesn't any manufacturer make one that could actually be afforded by a regular joe?
I consider the "ceiling" on this type of firearm in the 6-700 dollar range. Does anyone make one in .30-30? I know it would probably be 2+1 capacity, but just wondering.

Rossi Ranch Hand.
 
I am probably doing Epps a BIG favour... but i have been looking at three Mare's Legs on their web site under new lever rifles for several days now in .45 Colt for under a grand. And I have been wondering why they haven't all been sold yet. Probably will be now. ;)
 
I bought one a while ago for the 1500.00 and i must say i wouldnt pay more than 500 for it now. such a huge disapointment definatly not worth 1000.00 for it. Right out of the box ive had problems with mine. The ejector does not eject the cases out properly. After about 100rounds of 300gr 44mag the wood has actually started to crack. its definatly a fun gun but no where near the quality for the price being asked. Just my experience.

That lever is ridiculously large!
All Legacy and Rossi needs to do is ship mare's legs with full stocks to Canada and let us trim them ourselves..... and put a better lever on there!

This the exact finger lever I want to put on my Rossi Ranch Hand. I believe the Winchester part will fit, and any Rossi 92 will fit.
Anyone know where I can find that lever?
 
I agree with the idea of the short barrel/mag tube and a full stock. A rifle chopped down like this can't be fired accurately IMO. The chopped stock doesn't do anything for me.
 
What are the laws regarding modifying antiques? I was under the impression that since they require no registration they could be chopped, stocked, or otherwise customized to your hearts content. Or is there a rule that restricts heavy modification from original design?

Been looking at picking up an older antique lever rifle and having something like this done, that way don't have to deal with any paperwork.

That's an interesting point. I don't know if you can "saw off" the barrel or stock of an antique gun and it still be "legal." I am sure some knowledgeable person on this site will be able to quote the law in this regard.

But I think the more important question is, if you do so and say, go hunting or backpacking with the modified gun... how many LE officers that you run into would know the Canadian gun laws chapter and verse and wouldn't give you a hard time anyway. I can tell you that if someone was caught walking around the woods in Ontario with even a registered Non-Restricted Mare's Leg chances are they would have some 'splainin to do... probably at the local police station after the gun was confiscated. Sad, but true.

Not to mention the violent beating that might occur during the "High Risk Takedown" of such an offender.
 
I just don't get the Mare's Leg thing, however, to each their own. Personally, I'd favour a short barrelled rifle with a full stock.

The firearms would not be "confiscated", but rather "seized",two very different things. Secondly, If it was legally registered and non-restricted and there was a violent beating, I would definately be filing a lawsuit and taking legal action.

It's the law enforcers job (no matterwhat agency) to educate themselves. If they are uneducated on something they see in the field, they shouldnot be inflicting a violent beating, but rather using one of their other numerous tools to complete their duties. Refer to the use of force chart before assuming you would be beat.

That being said, you may have a firearm or two pointed at you...
