Well I did have two and I only sold the one so I could afford to buy a HK G36K.![]()
Wellll, alright then. Consider yourself redeemed. As if you cared to begin with
pete, regarding swapping out the barrels I think there is some clause that if the barrel remains on the firearm for more then thirty days in MUST be reclassified as restricted...at least I THINK I read that somewhere here...don't quote me on that, and of course don't ask me about the logic behind it. Basically the way I see it, firearm is Non-Restricted, have long barrel in bush and either or at range.
Thanks bud!
Its not actually that complicated. If you change your firearm's barrel length so that it would be classified as restricted, you simply treat it as a restricted firearm, until you change it back to a non-restricted barrel length. If you choose to keep the short barrel on the firearm for more than 30 days than you simply call up CFC and let them know. They'll mail you out a new certificate for free and forward the file to your CFO. I think there would be an issue if you only have a PAL, and not a RPAL, because you would then be in possesion of a firearm you are not licensed to possess. That being said, there are not than many rifles in Canada, that are not already classified as restricted by name/type, that have quick change barrels or uppers where a person would be regularly swapping back and forth. I guess you could take your non-restricted Tavor, change out to the short barrel, and then go play with it off a certified range, however you are playing with fire. In the eyes of any police officer, who is not a gun weeney himself, the Tavor looks like it should be restricted in the first place. If you get stopped and try and pull the wool over his eyes, he is gonna dig and you'll get burnt. Be a responsible firearms owner and all will be fine.
Gotcha! Same deal as I was told about shotties. Thanks
