Discarding sabot slug would make needing a .223 barrel irrelevant though. Trying to align a .223 slug in a 12 gauge to a .223 barrel in a semi auto platform and have it work reliably (and safely) would probably not be easy.
Depends on whether this shotgun is based on an already existing, Non-Restricted/Restricted shotgun receiver. If it's a different receiver/new to the Canadian market and it was manufactured after December 15th, 2023, it would be prohib because the design magazine capacity exceed 5 shells for the type that it was designed for.
Not sure how that's "unenforceable". It's literally in Canadian Law (C-21) and the CFP has to abide by when it comes to what is and is not prohibited firearms. Really stupid law don't get me wrong, but "design capacity" was compelled by law to be considered a relevant factor in a firearms classification.
The rifle takes magazines. Some of those magazines hold only 5 rounds. The fact that there are other magazines that hold more doesn't matter. It's the rifle that is getting the FRT not the magazines.
It literally does matter... On their website, they advertise they come standard with a 10 shell magazine as a config option. That means it's design capacity literally exceeds 5 shells and thus, unless there was a FRT before C-21, means this would be prohib.
By name only, same as the rifles. The classification guidelines are still the same, which mean that this should clear NR if it meets all the usual requirements.
Now, will it be first in line for another OiC if they decide to do that again? Almost certainly. Caveat emptor.
The mags are proprietary (But compatible with other Turkish mags, I think), but it looks like they make a 10 round variant, which.. Since this thing seems to be a new design, I think automatically makes it prohibited?
I was thinking of the legislation that automatically prohibits any center-fired gun designed after 2023, if it's been designed to accept a detachable magazine of more than five rounds.
If there isn’t any mention of it accepting anything other than proprietary 5 round magazines than it should be good to get through initially. Now, that certainly doesn’t mean it’s safe from future OIC bans.
Agreed. I tried the turkshit route once. Never again. I was just imagining getting smacked in the teeth with high brass when someone inevitably brings one of these to the range and asks if I want to try it.
