Who wants a Bull Pup 10/22?

I spotted that too when I was looking through the catalogue LOL, for whatever reason they sell a pile of reloads at their auctions as well. While working at a store we often got bins of reloads for free and could never sell them to the public due to liability, shouldn't the auction house take it (the stock) out due to liability?
Tell me why you couldn't do it? 10-22 parts are everywhere, if somebody was to make a bull pup 10-22 stock with receiver built in, it would be a new firearm. Same as the dar 10-22s have their own frt numbers.
Oh, and it would be rim fire.... So it would be classed based on over all length.
Maybe I haven't made my self clear...
I'm talking about building a new reciever. Much like the tavor, this rifle wouldn't function with the stock removed.
THIS WOULD BE A NEW TYPE OF RIFLE THAT USES 10-22 PARTS.
this project could be done with very little reverse engineering. In fact many of the Canadian gun manufacturers could do this...
As I said, this would be a rim fire so as long as it's over 26", it can have a short barrel and a Large cap mag.

i would buy one.
Doubt that the CFC would buy it, otherwise it would have been done.
I don't think it would fly, but if you manage to get some made, I will buy one.

The CFC is now run by the RCMP. It is the RCMP that will have the final say if it's accepted as non-restricted or prohibited.
And if you are going to make one, for heaven's sake, make NO mention of anything 10/22 about it. Also never call it a bullpup stock. It's a bullpup RIFLE. Semantics maybe, but that's exactly how the law works. That's why we have 10 round AR Pistol mags.
A number of years ago the RCMP prohibited the GSG 5, (a 22 that happened to look a little like an MP5), based only on a sales brochure. Simply because it said in the brochure it was a copy/replica of the MP5, even though the construction and operating mechanism is nothing like an MP5 .

You can permanently attach a trigger extension around a magazine, with a trigger in front of the magazine. You then have a detachable bullpup magazine. Maybe an hour's work with a coathanger. It isn't a firearm, it isn't a stock, it's a magazine. Doesn't require anybody's approval as far as I can see.
What on earth are you trying to do? So you want a full length stock with a trigger in front of the magazine? If you in any way reduce the length of the stock, it becomes prohibited.
It's irrelevant how you might want to twist words to describe something, it's not up to you. You could of course test your theory by being criminality charged and then convincing a Judge you're right.
Read up about the Walther G22. It could be fired without the stock, so the stock is prohibited. Rather clear cut. But it is precisely because of the G22 decision, that bullpup designs are allowed.

I heard about a guy who had a folding stock on his 10/22 . Thirty years in the big house, I expect. I have actually fired a 10/22 without the stock. You can hold the pins in with electrical tape. It became prohibited, of course.
You still didn't answer my question. Why put the trigger in front of the magazine? That then becomes a bullpup stock/rifle IF the stock is shortened in anyway. There is no problem with a folder, I NEVER said there was. As long as it isn't combined with trigger in front of the magazine/receiver, then it becomes prohibited. It's when you combine certain characteristics.
No different than a lot of QUIRKS of law. A 7.5" rifle/shotgun barrel is fine, but you can't cut a barrel down to 7.5" even though the end product is identical. Two 10 round AR magazines, absolutely identical, except one has a couple words written on the side. One's legal, the other is a prohibited device. What's the difference in both examples? Physically, NOTHING. However in law, one is OK and the other you are a criminal.
A 10/22 without the stock isn't prohibited at all. You better read AND UNDERSTAND what is and what isn't prohibited and why. Laugh all you want, joke's on you.
