Just double checking, it is legal to purchase a pistol length upper as long as it is never put on a rifle lower that isnt NFA registered correct?
I would not recommend buying a pistol length complete upper until you have a lower in hand that is not registered as a rifle lower. The possession of a pistol bbl'd upper without a mating lower could land you in big trouble!
If you want to build a pistol, you need to get the lower, registered as 'other', not 'rifle' and it cannot have been used in a rifle build before (never had a shoulderable stock installed on it). So.. get a stripped lower, (or build one and eliminate the registration issues), then get your parts to complete the build. It cannot have a stock on it, most of use use dedicated pistol tubes in place of CAR buffer tubes so that no stock can be attached.
If you have a built, legal rifle in your possession and also a pistol upper with no mating lower, they can say you have the intent to use the pistol upper on the rifle lower, that is a big $$$ nono!
Do it right and enjoy!!
Ahh.. can't help ya there, though I know Canadian laws are quite strict about bringing in weapons, especially pistols. I travel up every summer for fishing and go unarmed.. except for my trusty fillet knife...Well i would but it isnt for me, it will be going to maine and ultimately to canada.
