I have someone who would like to get a receiver polished all shiny - will stripping it down to just the frame ONLY make it ok to send it to me without an ATT ?
 
it is a Norc 1911 that my friend wants to get polished up - the receiver part and later polish round the sharp edges off the safety, rear sight..

So what Im reading here inspite of the fact that it is STRIPPED right down to only the frame(receiver) its still considered a firearm ?

If this is the case Im not goin to deal the horsecrap of an ATT.
 
"...Is this legal to do?..." No. You can't legally work on firearms for money without a firearms business licence either.
"...the frame(receiver) it's still considered a firearm..." Yep. The slide is not though.
"...not goin to deal the horsecrap of an ATT..." He gets it, not you. However, not getting it will land you both in jail. Both of you will lose your permits, all your firearms, an ownership prohibition and have a criminal record involving FA violations.
In any case, the pistol needs some kind of finish or it'll rust.
 
question that actually comes to mind here :

since the frame is considered the firearm, would it be illegal to insert a loaded magazine into a frame thats been completely stripped, except for the mag release/catch???

I'm just curious to what level of absurdity the law extends :p
 
in regards to the law any parts of the firearm is the same as the firearm
otherwise someone could gather all the parts and build a prohibited weapon

Not that I have ever done it, or recommend it, but it would probably be relatively easy to obtain AK47 parts from the U.S. and build your own reciever. It would just be illegal and time consuming.

What is legally considered the firearm in Canada is the registered receiver. Parts such as barrels, slides, upper receivers (excluding Swiss Arms rifles, where the upper is the legal firearm) and other parts are not regulated by the firearms act, and do not need an authorization to transport. Some items like full auto trigger groups are prohibited though (even though they are not a firearm).

You do not need a PAL to possess parts of firearms, you could even theoretically have a complete AR 15 upper receiver and all the parts to assemble a lower receiver (minus the lower receiver itself) without a PAL. Naturally that would be an odd thing to do (unless you are awaiting your RPAL in the mail and got a good deal on the EE for everything else...)
