Really wanted a APC9 or GHM9 but alas, prohib.

So I turned my 1970s 10/22 into the closest thing. 26inch OAL without comp.

Ballistic Advantage 8” barrel
Tac Sol X Ring compensator

Because it was not adapted or altered by cutting or sawing. Since the 8” barrel was made as an 8” barrel, it wasn’t a 16” cut down to 8”, this makes it legal.

Changing the barrel to a shorter one is adaptation, right? Law says adapted from a rifle or shotgun?

Take a look FRT : https://www.armalytics.ca/firearm/122075-ruger-10-22-rifle

215 mm barrel is marked as prohibited when done in Non commercial customization.

PS : I am an enthusiast but not professional or authority figure in this.

No alterations were made as these are all factory parts.

You can make your firearm prohibited even with factory parts. If the length of the barrel in his original 10/22 was > 457mm, then replacing it with fractory part barrel of 8 inch will render firearm prohibited, AFAIK.

Its not the part that has classification, it is ... the firearm.

PS: Not a lawyer, not a legal advice.

There are no barrel length requirements with rimfire, only overall length.
