No, I have been around awhile, in fact I have 12(6) status but never realized the evils of prohib barrels. So lets walk through this a little deeper, as I am a 12(6) guy can I can buy and own a unserialized prohib barrel or is right up there with brass knuckles, blowpipe guns and replica firearms as a threat to public safety?? or does it have to be "buy the prohib handgun to get the prohib barrel"?

where are the stores getting replacement barrels? I would love to have a few custom ones made up for buddies with out the 12-6
How in gods name did that piece of shyt law called the Firearms Act ever get voted in? what an embarrassment that "law" and its wording is. Thanks all for the insight. Yeah I can see all those detached barrels being a massive threat to public safety.

Once I had the chance to examine a whole whack of crap that came from the estate of a deceased gunsmith. Lo and behold I found (wait for it) a revolver barrel less than 105mm in length. What did I do? What any sane person would do, ran screaming into the bushes before it ate me and all my family!
Many of us fought the good fight against the Mulroney and Chretien gun control laws and predictably lost. I remember trying to engage the engineers of all this crap about the distinction between good and evil in a 105mm vs 106mm long barrel, but the fix was in. Nowadays the bureaucracy pretty much has it's own way under enabling legislation which lets it make arbitrary regulations about whatever it believes to be appropriate. One very vivid and painful illustration of this has been their decision to stop issuing ATTs so that CA owners could take their pieces to the range to shoot them. Oh, we are all much safer for this I suppose, but I can't find a single incident where a CA owner has run amok and committed a crime on his way to/from the range. No doubt several bureaucrats got elevated even further in the monkey bars because of their wise and innovative actions in the interests of public safety though.
Watch Harper and company. The only good thing about them in the firearms sphere is that they aren't as bad as either the Libs or NDP. They did throw us a bone with the elimination of the LGR, but nothing has happened since.
Ok, what about this... I sell/rent/loan/gift someone my 6" Luger barrel and slide, (it is not the registered part, the frame is). The buyer puts that on a 12(6) frame and gets it reclassified. Then they send the barrel / slide back to me.
Did anyone break the law here?

No, but if he puts the original upper back on the gun becomes prohibited once again.
True, however this process might make it easier for someone to acquire a restricted only Luger frame and get a new barrel and slide etc... at their own pace. But in the end, you still have to get a barrel and have a smith do the work for you.
I do that on m'y luger, i acquired a 1941 mauser, i bought the restricted barrel and an armourer do the switch but rcmp askedmfor the prohib barrel, maybe they dont want the armourer to secretly pût the prohibited barrel on it, anyway dont do the job yourself you can ruin the frame, another Québec armourer destroyer a luger when he try to remove the original barrel
Such a shame for 2mm

If a prohibited firearm is reclassified to restricted by changing the barrel, and the restricted length barrel no longer accompanies it, the receiver reverts to prohibited status, but is no longer grandfathered 12-6, and cannot be reregistered as 12-6.

Note to self: Self, stop trying to understand Cdn. gun laws and take up something easier like theory of relativity!

Do you have the frame with the trigger components or the upper assembly containing the breechblock components? The frame itself is the Restricted/Prohibited component, while a barrel-less upper is just another unregulated part.
