Actually their are.

The AR platform is classed as restricted (a handgun) not a rifle and can have a barrel as short as a legal pistol length barrel.

As a pistol the AR can only be transported with a trigger lock in a locked case and only taken to an authorized restricted (pistol) range with a pistol transport permit. No hunting allowed.

If a non restricted rifle has a barrel changed to shorter than legal rifle length - mandatory minimum prison term.

Similar to what we have in the states. Well.. most states. Federal regulations say rifle barrels have to be minimum 16" in length. Anything else is classified as an SBR or Short Barreled Rifle and must had an NFA tax stamp or else it's a felony for possession. NFA items are relatively straightforward in most states, just cumbersome. File paperwork, pay $200 fee, wait 6 months or more, get your paperwork. Here in CA, NFA items are completely impossible. People can get around the NFA restrictions in the case of SBR by making an AR pistol. As long as it does not have a buttstock attached to it and it meets all other requirements, it is classified as a pistol. Which means it can have short barrels (usually 7", 10" 12" etc).

Then there's this:

After shooting with my friend's gun I wanted to pick up some ammo for him but these suckers are out of stock in so many places.

Plenty available now. What I can't find now is 22lr.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

The latest word from Ottawa is ----

The de - restrict of the AR platform ONLY is on the back burner now due to the prohibition of the Swiss Arms rifles and the CZ 858 outrage. They have to figure out that mess first i.e. - how to negate an order in council with another order in council ? - Never been done.

The integrating of ATT and RPAL was a possibility with other major C-68 rewrite which was underway but now derailed by the recent R.C.M.P. dishonest and illegal ruling (which tricked the safety minister into the prohibition).
The donkey wolloppers banned the Swiss Arms rifles and the CZ's because of the potential of imminent de-restricting of the AR platform.

They know there isn't enough time now before the next election to legally fix what they have done .

They have always tried to totally outlaw the AR's and will continue to do so.
The CPC has no intention of allowing hunting with all restricteds.

I suggest you contact the organizations and politicians who are up to date with what is being discussed and bargained for in Ottawa for the true and current facts.

When the cops first tried to PROHIBIT the AR-15 it was about to happen until they were advised that it is a CANADIAN right as far back as the British North America Act and now our CONSTITUTION to use an AR-15 (as long as it is our military issue rifle).
So they restricted it instead.

We as Canadian citizens and members of the British Commonwealth have a CONSTITUTIONAL right to posess to compete (along with the army) for the Queens Medal, with the rifle used by our military which happens to be the AR platform.

On topic

Found some pictures of my old PSP25 next to my wallet for scale

Fun pocket gun, and probably the highest quality one I've held.
It feels like an expensive watch, more well put together than many subcompact pistols IMO

Picture was taken with a turnip quite a while ago, I apologize in advance

My coffee table. Mosin Nagants in their original crate.

Do these guns count?

Anyone know anything about components and the general concept of building a gun from various parts?
