Application / Regulation advice Are combo .22LR/.22WMR revolvers eligible for exempted handguns per the Olympic sports exemptions? (BC)

So I actually managed to get my first handgun exemption for sport shooting and picked up a Ruger MK4 (awesome!). But I was curious too about picking up a .22 revolver to compete as well. One that I found that seems suitable is the Taurus 992, which is a revolver that comes default with both a .22LR cylinder and a .22WMR cylinder. Are revolvers in .22 allowed as exempted .22 sports shooting firearms? Would there be a problem since it comes with a .22WMR cylinder as well? Cheers everyone!

It’s still in the works but it’s approved. Two weeks for the exemption letter, another 2 weeks for import

How is the process coming along for you? Is it with the cfo yet? Mine is still at global affairs for the past 3 weeks

I’m not sure quite yet where everything is at. I know when I exported a shotgun to a friend in the states using irunguns, it was about 2 months, so personally I’m not too worried

Edit: irunguns did tell me when I inquired that the paperwork was good though and that it should be in the country by July

It will be in the country in mid July and hopefully we get it by the end of July
