Correct me if I'm wrong, and I may be very wrong on this, but the rifle used for this build was a Ruger 96/44 ... So wouldnt it be "illegal" to convert the Ruger to a bullpup as per Canada's weird, bullshit bullpup conversion laws??

Technically in some states you can fuck and marry your cousin but most would advise against it…

Can't have these. These are just TACTICAL rifles in intermediate and full sized rifle cartridges, not ppc, pdws, 22lrs. This is just what's was in the market after the 2020 bans. So no ars, Mini 14s, vz 58, cx4 storms, etc.

Yeah, but I also have a pellet gun that is banned in some states as a belt fed machine gun so yeah.

No, its illegal to convert a firearm to a bulpup
This gun started life as a Ruger 44mag rifle and converted. If you built it ground up like this it would be legal
5
u/JustACanadianGuy07 Apr 12 '26
Alright, so, then keep it unbulpupped. Technically, .44 mag might fit in cloth .30-06 belts from an M1919, so its legal as long as they were made before 1945z

u/ThePoeticJester Apr 12 '26
The guy has a full video how he did it all so maybe if you took a look it could be done just without bulpup but I dont remember. Pretty old video

If I made this, I'd use the gas from firing it advance the belt and eject the spent casing. Then racking the lever would grab the round and feed it into the chamber on the forward swing. That would be cool.

u/PM_me_ur_TT-33 Apr 12 '26
That would be semi auto, per the Canadian definition, and your fun is legally required to end after the 6th round.
I'd rather make a manual action with proprietary manual action magazines and, for safety of course, an out of battery disconnect.

Could be wrong but I'm almost certain that the belt is considered a magazine and would be limited to five rounds. I'm pretty sure that I heard somewhere that there is an exemption for original belts for collectables like the Broowning 1919 in semiautomatic but that you can't make a new belt for them.

u/itsagrapefruit Apr 12 '26
However I thought that there is no limit on magazine quantity for manual action rifles?
1
u/BigRedGunNut Apr 12 '26
That's true, assuming that the belt used isn't originally designed for a semiautomatic and repurposed for this thing.

u/-rifle-is-fine- Apr 12 '26
Reading threads and posts like this hurt my fucking brain. Our gun rules read like electrical code except the AHJ can arrest you for how you interpreted the unclear rule.

u/JustACanadianGuy07 Apr 12 '26
If I am not mistaken belts are legal if they were made during or before 1945.
Also, fun fact, the M1919 uses .30-06. The belts are obviously made for .30-06. But, they are cloth. Cloth is kinda stretchy.
.30-06 casings are about 11.4mm in diameter. .44 is about 11.6mm. Thats only 0.2mm wider.
You legitimately might be able to use 250 round belts of .44 magnum.

My god its a crime.
It might be legal if thats how it is manufactured but if its a conversation of an existing gun then no its not.
