Thanks for the update. Have you been quiet for the last 90 days or have you made inquires? I hope you get to keep your property.

No riddle, it was a deliberate act - at the time you'll remember that most PD's were switching from revolvers to semi-autos. Most PD revolvers were 4 inch barrels, thus set the measuring reg up so that none of those cheap police turn in revolvers got into civillian hands.
Look where you live... That 'Wyatt' fella is your CFO, he's been a bit busy lately with the media & stuff.
Seems he's got bigger fish to fry...
* Good luck with your reclassification though.

Finally after almost six months a decision has been made. Verifier has just informed me that the RCMP have made a decision on my gun BUT they will not tell him what it was. I have to wait for the official letter. More to come!!!!

Hopefully it's not a letter saying they're going to keep it.
Incidently, this is absolute BS - they don't have to change them all - I know someone who has 2 Prohib guns and 2 more identical guns that aren't prohib. This is done on a one gun at a time basis - like some supposedly 4 inch K Frame Smith revolvers are restricted because when the barrel was fitted it gapped at minimum (.004) far enough out that the barrel measures 105.2mm from the forcing cone.
They won't tell the verifier? What's the big deal? That you will find out before you get the letter.
There are regular .22 RF, not those weird rimless/caseless rocket rounds. Head space adds over 1 mm when correctly measured muzzle to breech, ergo 105.9+ which rounds to 106 (anything 105.01 and up is 106).
This handgun is obviously restricted. I'm not sure why some of these "Description Changes" turn into such nightmares, but it sometimes seems the more obviously the handgun is mis-registered, the harder someone in Ottawa fights to keep it that way.
eBay is your friend. Pick up a name brand all-steel digital caliper. Ensure that it goes to zero each time, from 106, and tell them so. Your written words should be something to this effect:
I have been trained in the proper operation of precision measuring tools
The digital caliper used in these pictures is a (make, model), serial number: (serial), which is a high quality measuring tool suitable for the presentation of evidence in court
This digital caliper provides consistent measurements and returns to zero each time (photo)
Add whatever court experience or years of firearms experience you have. Any relevant courses, eg. Photography, machining, commercial law in high school. Dig deep.
Get yourself 10 minutes worth of training from a machinist on how to make precise measurements, so that you ARE trained. And don't forget to end your very formal and carefully written email with the words indicating that you are prepared to provide this as sworn evidence in a court proceeding. My favorite conclusion is "respectfully submitted", provide your full name again and contact information.
You can probably borrow a quality caliper somewhere, but it's a bit harder to dismiss a man who shows up with his own professional tools.
Send this, CC the people involved including your verifier, and do this with the expectation that the right thing will happen. Persist, because you are right.
And don't forget to tell us your good news when you finally succeed!
