AK dilemma

Currently, he is, of course, breaking the law. The current owner can attempt to bring himself and the gun into compliance. The quicker it happens, the better. It happens all the time; Gun is found and registered. Really not that complicated.

What regulations allow this particular gun, in these particular circumstances, to be registered now? The details of this have not been explained. Perhaps there are many other such holders who wish to come into compliance and might benefit from this information. What is the exact mechanism by which the particular firearm in can be brought into compliance with the firearms act?

The holder is simply disposing of the gun to a dealer. He cannot register it to himself. The dealer simply registers the gun into his inventory, as stated above.

So such a dealer may register a previously unregistered, prohibited weapon off the street as would be the case here? Just like that?

Get it deactivated and then keep it or re-sell it. Im sure theres a way that you can do that. The gun would increase in value that way too.

By no means inferring anything in the following photo, just a pretty image that I thought everybody would like.

Yup what a nice photo. Reminds me of being in the forest out in the middle of nowhere with my cottage in the distant background...

Yes. In the case of the OP, it would actually be more of a transfer, since the green slip registrations are stored at the CFC. This sort of thing happens often in the case of seniors, estates, etc. A large number of prohibs were not re-registered

As always, during the registration/transfer process, regardless of the source of the gun, it would be checked against the stolen database, etc. If all clear, it is registered/transferred, but still prohib, and can only be transferred to other prohib licensed businesses, public agencies, film armourers, deactivated, etc. It lost it's grandfathered status when not reregistered.

CanAm is 110% correct. Not all 12.5 rifles got re-registered and many are dealt with through estates. Lotsa Green RCMP certificates floating around.

I had a friend that called his local police wanting to renew his "FAC" after a few years. He also said he had his old Norinco SKS and AK84 and in the house - he made a deal to surrender the AK and in return got himself a new restricted PAL (after challenging the test) - happens all the time.

Im sure that someone who previously had a rifle legally registered to them would be given slack compared to some poor shmuck showing up with an unregistered, prohibited weapon. YMMV
