Hi All

New here and wondering the process for selling a firearm that I have owned since 1975. One box of shells, Firearm is as I bought it from an Army Surplus store before it became a restricted firearm.

What do I have to do to transfer ownership if I try to sell?

Call the CFP (they may transfer to the local CFO)

http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/cont/index-eng.htm

and initiate the transfer (you'll need the RPAL number of the buyer, his date and location of birth, his address and possibly the number of your registration certificate, you'd think they'd be able to look it up, but sometimes they still ask...)

they'll give you a reference number, pass that to the buyer

then the buyer will need to call to accept the transfer.
 
You could always change the barrel to 18.5 inches and it will no longer be restricted.
Can Nick at Vulcan Gun Refinishing. (just outside Windsor)
Just google it.
He has the barrels in stock.
 
I wouldn't bother with rebarreling, as you wouldn't see much return. Non-Restricted M1 Carbines cost just about as much as a Restricted M1 Carbine, you would be more likely to take a loss rebarreling.
 
If he did in fact purchase it in 1975 then he obviously wouldn't have paid today's Carbine prices, so rebarreling to 18.6" would not be cost prohibitive.

It still would add no value to the firearm. If a restricted M1 Carbine costs 700$ and a non-restricted M1 Carbine costs 700$, it doesn't make much sense to spend roughly 200$+ to make it non-restricted.
 
The guy is probably selling it cause it's a closet queen.
who cares about the resale value...
it's being able to use the darn thing that matters.

Likely the person selling it. If you were selling something would you
A) spend extra money to get the same amount of money out of it or
B) sell it as is because it is already worth the amount the modifications would cost, without having to pay for the modifications
