I don't want to have to alter anything on a brand new firearm to have it work right, especially one (Para) that I paid $700 for. thanks for any and all opinions. i’m looking for some help and opinions from owners of para’s warthog – the 3in bbl model.

I don’t expect this of a bazooka manufacturer, or a towed gun, or even RPG, but it is the Sine Qua Non of rifle, shotgun and pistol manufacturers." Just to clarify, Canadian citizens are allowed to own and use handguns. Aside from a few models that don't fit the regulations, Para Ordnance products are readily available for purchase by Canadians. (As are many other firearms that are mistakenly thought to be banned here, including many not available in the US) “Maybe it’s just the American in me, but I think no firearms manufacturer should have its HQ in a country (or a state) where the mass of its citizenry cannot purchase the individual arms it manufactures.
