If I had a friend who recently aquired an M1 Carbine from a widow, and he'd been looking for a non restricted barrel for it, with no luck.
Now he doesn't have much use for it, as his range is pistol only, so was thinking about putting it up for sale.
Here's the problem. The rifle hadn't been put in the system, never had been.
As far as I now, registering a restricted wouldn't be a problem, is there anything he should know before he went ahead with it? Would be a shame to lose it on a BS technicality.

I had a Mosin Nagant M1891 registered as a Remington .308. Fish cop though it was funny.

There shouldn't be any issues - common delays are caused by things like serial number commonality (ie:4 digit k98s 'cause of all the different countries and re-numberings) or questions about the manufacturer. Your carbine isn't exotic and the numbers on an M1's receiver are pretty clear. You can call the hot-line and they will answer any questions you have - I've always been impressed with the help I get even if I don't like the system. "Hi I have a rifle I inherited, what do I need to know?".
 
I've heard different things on this. For a non-restricted it's not an issue to give them a phone call and register it. Does anyone know for sure if it's and issue with a restricted?

Totally hypothetical. I have a friend of a friend of a friend who had a grandpa pass away, this friends uncle now has a handgun from grandpa, but no RPAL and wants to to give this pistol to my friend of a friend who has a valid RPAL. Is it possible for this gun to be registered? I don't know if Grandpa ever had any paperwork for it, most likely not.

I think the bigger probably would be if it was prohibited. Make sure you know the barrel length, ect. Most Lugers and collectable pistols are prohibited, so registering would mean it would be destroyed/taken. Really sucks.

Again totally hypothetical. If one was to find a prohibited gun in grandpa's basement that was never registered, could one simply dewat it himself?

You have to have it verified. There's info on the CFC website about requirements to be classified as a non-gun.

my understanding is that for restricteds just call with all the info, and you can get the gun verified and registered over the phone.
 
No problem registering a restricted M1 Carbine... I just did it. You can verify it over the phone, but ya can't apply to register online... gotta go with the paper form.
Also, it has to go to your provinces CFO, so expect to wait.... mine was over 2 months.
 
As far as I know, Lugers with 4 inch barrels although prohibited, along with other pistols that have historical significance can be registered to grandfathered people.

They can also be bequeathed in a will to family members or someone of significance to the deceased.

The bureaucrats would like you to believe they have to be destroyed and perpetuate the myth.
