Some of you might recognize these boomsticks from previous posts over the last 2 years. Unfortunately my previous account was banned as someone thought I was shortening firearms illegally (appealed decision). In the meantime, I’d like to once again offer the legalese.

Firearms CAN legally be shortened in Canada. You cannot cut the barrel(s) below 18” on a manual action, or 18.5” on a semi auto (you can cut a semi auto between 18”-18.4”, but then you have to register it as restricted). The overall length, regardless of action, cannot be cut below 26”.

Please see all tape measure measurements to confirm these firearms are completely legal.

I think 410 break actions are a lot more rare and expensive than you'd think!!

You can find single shot European ones for a couple hundred bucks on intersurplus. Sxs’s or o/u are certainly more rare

Was just checking some of those out. Thinking I have to find a couple as winter projects.

Going to chop my Charles Daly with a 28” barrel down. Shot a few time and put in the safe, bought it as I always had a single shot around growing up, but don’t use it for anything really as it’s too awkward in the bush. Going to chop it to 18.5 and have a gunsmith thread it for choke tubes like the barrel has now.

Figure it’ll be a nice little grouse gun
