Application / Regulation advice Stowaway under 26” non restricted ?

Really excited about getting my first gun and been looking at different builds here. I had a question regarding the stowaway.

I’ve been seeing posts here and YouTube with the stowaway swapped with the 5 inch barrel. Someone here said his over all length was under 26 inches.

There was a comment that said because it’s manual action and fixed stock it would still be considered non restricted even though it’s under 26 inches.

By that logic could you take a renegade and install short stock and barrel? Being under 26 inches would it be considered non restricted as well?

I apologize for my confusion. The firearm rules are confusing.

Manual action + fixed stock = No OAL requirement

As long as the OAL wasn’t specifically cut below 26”. If it’s a cut down job, you can only cut above 26”

Yes 

There are a few other firearms too.

Some short folding single shots and double barrel shotgun

The BCL short bolt actions with a 12 inch barrel need  a solid stock to be NR

Even now they have AR barrel Henry supreme that are quite short, but have fixed stocks.

Or my favourite, by under 26 inch 410 revolver with a fixed stock
