mm, I may be a bit off on my measurements but here goes: there are three classes of firearms in Canada: non-restricted (long arms with a barrel length of 18.5 inches or more), restricted (mostly small arms but some rifles with a barrel length under 18.5 inches but over four inches) and prohibited firearms (a barrel length of under 4 inches). Unless you are grandfathered to own one or there are other extreme circumstances the average gun owner cannot legally possess a prohibited firearm. Therefore most Lugers are unable to be purchased by the average Canadian. However you can obtain a restricted license to purchase a hand gun with a barrel over 4 inches (this is where a rebarreled (or navy or Artillery) Luger may come into the picture.

HTH.
