[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2120758, member: 313"] It would appear that the Canadian Border Patrol don't always know the law either. I brought an (unmodified) Marlin 1895SBL levergun in 45-70 into Canada for a bear hunt, as I have done MANY times. I ran into an officer at the crossing who stated that I was lucky that the rifle wasn't a 1/2" shorter or he would have taken some kind of action. The barrel was the standard 18.5" bbl. I'm not sure why he needed to be threatening. After discussing this with several Canadians I learned that rifles can have barrels even shorter than 18" provided that they were manufactured that way. I think the Marlin Trapper model is 16" or 16.5". Apparently the officer didn't know the laws too well himself. Thankfully, I didn't have a Trapper model. [/QUOTE]
