    B because there are a few Contender pistols around
    They come up for sale and could be re stocked and re barreled to be A cat legal

    But it would mean a B car holder buying it and getting agreement from an arms officer or FSA to change to A cat

    Lots of contender barrels that come up for sale in NZ are only 14" long and on a contender rifle stock are below minimum legal length

    They can be made legal in various ways but are still short on rifling and therefore velocity

    They can be stubbed and made legal length and full rifling and velocity

    Worth the effort if you can find a contender pistol frame cheap
    Not sure how the B to A would go

    Never wanted to put any of my B Cat friends to the inconvenience and test the system

    Interesting, thks..I'd have thought the cops would be happy to see a firearm become a legal long gun from being a B endorsement Pistol..the other way around would be unlikely of course..
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...
