This is incorrect, please read the defn of prohibited firearm at :

https://rcmp.ca/en/firearms/classes-firearms/classes-firearms-canada#s5

It applies to all firearms including rimfire.

PS : Not a lawyer, not a legal advice.

You keep saying youre not an expert and asking people to correct you and then when they correct you then you default to posting the same thing over and over. BTW I havent downvoted you im just confused whether you actually know what youre talking about or just repeating rcmp nonsense over everybody that may actually be correct

Not one of them have quoted an authoritative source or have admitted to be a lawyer or someone who knows this law well. To top it all some of them have made some obvious mistakes.

Again, it is not about me being right as much as it is to have an authoritative answer to this. The reason is because this is something that can land a person in trouble. I will like them to be able to find the right source for this question.

My position comes from the obvious literal reading of the law. If that is not correct, I will love to have an authoritative source for that.

BTW, it is not RCMP bullshit. It is actually the law. That is literal text of Firearms Act.

I’m going off the basis that a factory 10/22 8” barrel swap is not an alteration, it’s a part replacement. Then, since it’s not prohibited, it also isn’t restricted, because it’s rimfire. To be restricted It (ii) has a barrel less than 470 mm in length, and iii) is capable of discharging centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner. So since it meets the OAL requirement it would be non-restricted.

If I were you, I would take a second opinion from a lawyer or a verifier. If you are covered by firearm insurance (this subreddit recommends that you should), you might get a consult that is covered. Do not take my words, talk to those professionals who understand this professionally and are legally bound to serve your interest.
