What about a non restricted .22lr handgun?

[o2ak]

May thinking about build a non restricted pistol in .22lr.I would like to buy a restricted pistol and make it non restricted by adding PERMANATELY length to it.Like weld a rod in the back.And may be sell them to people who not want a restricted class.Or people who wants to practice pistol everywhere.I tape a rod to my 92 fs to verify to length and i will be ok with 26 inch total. Good idea or not???

Once a pistol, always a pistol. Hence, always restricted, if not prohibited elsewise.

Pistols aren't restricted due to length, they're restricted because they're pistols.

Is there a Red/Green pre-order list?

No thank you.

X2. If designed to be fired single handed.....PISTOL by our laws regardless.

Yep! One handed operation, then it must be a pistol.

But I like your ingenuity anyways.

And I suggest this would be a financial flop, even with reclassification in another differing universe of gun laws.

Probably because he is young and ignorant of our gun laws. lol

OK...... not a good idea.

Really poor business plan. I hope you did not start production yet

I think its a good idea if it works….

Which it doesn't. So it isn't.

It won't. As previously stated, Pistols are Restricted because they are pistols, not because they are under the length regulations. You could ad a 20" barrel and a full stock and it's still a pistol because that's what you started with. The stupid rod thing is only applicable to freedom hating dictatorships like the UK.

I give you 1 point for trying and take 2 away for not knowing the law.

you could always try shooting this with a two handed pistol grip. It's pretty much a Browning Buckmark with a factory installed longer barrel and buttstock, and it's non-restricted.

 

[gewehr76]

lets get our stupid laws changed and make all firearms nonrestricted, then wouldn't have to worry about the length.

Restricted because it is a pistol frame.
