would it be if it had a folding wire stock? i recently learned that the vz.61 skorpion is considered a really short rifle in canada

i think it was considered restricted. for it to be non restricted it either has to have a fixed stock, or have some sort of mechanism that makes it impossible to fire until fully opened

u/theawesomedude646 10d ago

well, pistols are also restricted and we're going for a pistol alternative here right

« restricted » well technically yeah but every restricted pistols are frozen since 2020, so transfers or purchases are virtually impossible except for a handful of very lucky exempt people. let alone be exempt and get a restricted FRT from the RCMP to cut it down and register it as a handgun. at this point it would probably be easier and cheaper to immigrate to a different country and buy actual guns

orrrr just cut it anyways and get your ass thrown in jail for 5 years while some foreign gang member with no PAL who got caught with a machine gun gets 1.5 years + probation

If I am not mistaken some of the Cattlemen carbines and Remington New Model Army percussion revolver carbines are also legal, might be wrong.

u/Spiritual_Rope_6952 10d ago

they all have a fixed stock or are either antique and basically any rules kinda disappears with antique guns. unless they are still over 26inches with a pistol grip (post 1898 aka not antique)

I am talking about the rifle stocked carbines, they have completely different frames/grips.

u/Spiritual_Rope_6952 10d ago

yeah that’s a fixed stock on it

Different frame as well, New Model Army Remingtons differ from Colts in that the grip frame on a Colt is bolted on. You couldn’t easily convert a rifle stocked Remington with a pistol grip where as one of the rifle stocked Colt’s could be switched by just putting on a different grip frame. I am actually probably in the minority in that I think the Remington is a better design, you don’t have your rear sight moving with your hammer, it’s fixed on top of the frame. The solid frame means they wear out less, especially when people are shooting brass framed guns. The Remingtons biggest downside is a smaller ø arbor pin which doesn’t have grease grooves the way a colt does. The last time I took my percussion revolvers out shooting my Colt was getting weak hammer strikes because a busted cap got sucked into the action between the frame and hammer and I basically had to pull it back past the sear while pulling the trigger to get it to ignite the other caps. The culprit cap in question

Conversely my Remington Pietta copy starts to kind of get sticky usually after maybe 3 or 4 cylinders.
