For all of you possessing non-restricted firearms that may become prohibited, this is what I would do if I was you.
First the Government will have to announce how this situation will be handled and then we will have a “grace period” in which to comply, DO NOTHING UNTIL THEN.
If there is no Grandfathering or no compensation, consider the following.
Simply destroy the receiver and take photos. You only have to report the destruction of a prohibited firearm so depending on the terms of the amnesty you may or may not have to report this to the authorities. I suggest you cut the receiver in half then cut out the part with the serial number. This gives you proof of destruction.
This will leave the Government guessing as to the compliance rate. SWAT teams will not be kicking down doors as there are no LGR to tell them where to go.
I would not hand in a stripped receiver.
I am already making contingency plans for supplying new stripped receivers that would be compatible with your parts kit., this is a worse case fall back plan.
