So I am selling my 11.5" AR Upper, wanted to register my lower as lower only, now I have to phone back talk to a Tech because the lady on the phone says I need to have a barrel length.......

Told I am selling it this weekend, she says I need to go the Verifier to prove the Upper is not there anymore????????

Anyone else have challenges reregistering as lower only??

Told I do not know what Upper I am going to buy, as I will be building it maybe over the winter?

Yikes!
 
Tell them you want to change it to frame only, not a complete firearm.

Even after you get an upper, as long as it is not a permanent modification (store it separate or even better get 2 uppers), you don't have to change the registration.
 
I had the displeasure of dealing with an idiot before......she was asking me if my VERMONT State gun club was located in Quebec....even if I clearly told her that Vermont was in the United States of America.... I just hung up and called again.....and the second one fully understood me

Call again and speak with someone else ;)
 
Sounds like the dumdum I talked to when selling my PWS AR, he tried to tell me it wasn't an AR and that only Colt makes AR's. I asked why it was restricted then. He came around a little and started saying it was a variant. I didn't want to argue any more so I didn't bother to tell him that Armalite is actually the original AR and that Colt makes the variant.
I often wonder why those people take jobs with the CFO, they obviously have no interest in firearms and seem to just enjoy being a pain in the ass and making us frustrated with their ignorance.

I'd put money on it that if one of us applied for that job, we'd be rejected the minute they found out we were sport shooters. They probably have a knowledge component to the interview process, if you do too well...thanks for coming out.

Miramichi was selected for the firearms centre as a "work project" to help with high unemployment in the area. Add the fact it's a gov job and there's your answer.
 
My favorite game to ‘play’ with them is when changing the registration for a Colt Canada lower from stripped to complete rifle and they ask you the what model it is. And you reply that is not written on the rifle (lower) or on the registration sheet you currently have for the stripped lower. Usually leads to a long pause. Then I just start naming all the different Colt Canada models: SA20, SA15.7, IUR, MRR, etc until they it’s that one.

They don’t quite understand that all CC lowers are the same, the model is defined by all the parts attached to it. It has let to some of my Diemaco / CC clones being registered as a model IUR, but infact are a C7 with all the correct parts.
 
Well all done, spoke to a tech called Mario, super nice guy, very well versed.

He provided all the info for the re-registration to a lower.

It is obvious some there know what that are doing, some not so much.

All in all, once I spoke to the right guy, it went well.

You'd know for sure if they spoke with a lisp and said "uh" a lot or mentioned gender equality and middle class blah blah or had a foot out the door to the UN and didn't really care about you as a good old-fashioned Canadian.

A lot of early stripped CC lowers were initially registered as incomplete SA15.7’s

I’m sure the CFC’s records at this point are quite muddled.
