From arms act

"pistol means any firearm that is designed or adapted to be held and fired with 1 hand; and includes any firearm that is less than 762 millimetres in length"

Leave the butstock off that and it would be a pistol.

Actually thinking about it again many of the current folding stock chassis rifles would allow the same situation with the folded or removed butt stock.

A lot of the folding stock chassis rifles would probably be over 762mm even if the stock is folded. The other thing is could you fire it one handed?
Pretty sure there is a court case pending about the interpretation of measuring a rifle when stock is collapsed vs extended.

Really depends how long the bush pig barrel is that is put into the chassis & whether or not the folding stock is attached

Nothing at all stopping you removing the butt stock on an XLR chassis or MDT for that matter except the law.

If the barrel as long enough it would be over 762mm but still capable of being fired single handedly ?

Pretty cheap for a hand made rifle

I have H&R handi rifles in several calibers, well made heavy guns that are acurate enought.

Also have TC contenders and encores. An tc contender that has a gunsmith take out all the extra metal is a light accurate compact rifle. Step up to an encore if you want the more powerfull calibers

Wow I am surprised by the response, I thought it was a bit of a out there concept but I guess it's an idea that's been used before.
I always considered a single shot either a budget gun or a cheap rifle that people started with before progressing to another style of action.

I went the other way I quite like an afternoon with the h&r single shot and some targets

something that is small and light and can fit in your pack is a very atractive idea to a lot of people
