The end of the registry is great, but I'm curious about how some of you deal with one aspect of it.

Before, something like an xcr might be non-restricted. If you were ever stopped in the bush, you could present your reg when the likely "you're not allowed to have that out here" might come up.

now if you have something like an xcr or non restricted acr in the bush, you have nothing other than to have your word against theres in a "trust me, its not restricted" (probably worse with the acr as it actually is on the restricted list, until you extend the barrel. )

What do you carry to help prevent the "zomg thats an evil black rifle" now that the registry is gone?
 
This is where the FRT comes in, the responding officer can call in with the make, model, and serial number and they will get the information page about that gun.
 
Checking an frt number shouldn't be that difficult for a Leo by phone or from the car. I haven't tried it myself but I think the database is available online through the in car computer.

Or if you can find the number for your particular model somehow and carry it maybe.

Me too. I've had conversations with local C.O's while hunting crown land around my place with my CQB M14 set up.
Also have copy of transport and magazine regs as I often have AIA 10 rounders with me ;)
 
thanks for the reply's. I just became curious after hearing someone talking about taking non restricted to the states and back and how they needed to get a customs form so it was easier to re-enter the country and prove it was yours (again, now that the reg was dead)
 
If I were worried I'd bring a copy of the restricted vs. non-restricted definitions from the firearms act. (to politely inform the officer of what is and what isn't restricted) as well as a tape measure. I think letting the officer realize of his own accord that your gun is kosher might work better then trying to convince him that you know more about the law then he does (regardless of weather it's true or not lol). Keeping in mind how many times in the last few days he heard someone say "no man, I did nothing wrong! I swear!"
 
I have my smart phone with me, with the paper work on there to look at the LAR mags etc as well as links to places to by the XCR in Canada showing there status. Finding the FRT fact sheet would be nice as well.

Hi,



What does FRT stand for?

Where do you get a copy of the FRT sheet?

Jayne - it stands for firearms reference table, managed by the RCMP to list all of the manufacturers, firearm models they carry, caliber, features, etc. It's one of the piece of info you need when you register a Restricted firearm (or non-restricted as well if you're in Qc).
 
It appears you have to have a related business to get an FRT number off of the internet. What is the FRT number for a Robinson XCRM, or can someone guide me on how to find that number? I don't think showing a link to a gun dealers website showing `Non Restricted' is as good as having the actual FRT number for your non restricted firearm. Thanks.
 
I didn't burn my reg. slips, when they got rid of the LGR.
They'd come in handy now, eh?
Bet some of the "cool dudes" wish they had done the same thing!
 
Thanks factionrr. I still have my `old' registration slips, but anything bought after the demise of the LGR doesn't come with anything.
