What's in the Shop This Week

[Jon.]

These are mine, I finally got them out the other day. The 223 kicks like a BB gun and the 308 shoots like a 223. Awesome job on them and they look/work great.

"Twins" granted a .223 and .308.

Just wondering how the new bill C-71 would effect you doing bolt fluting?As i would only be sending you the bolt you would not have a serial number ?Just wondering??Thanks
P.S your work and photo's look great keep up the great work.

As atrocious as these new regs are, they still ONLY pertain to a firearm, which is the receiver. PERIOD. As soon as a receiver lands in my lap, I'm obligated to record all the new info. A firearm PART (any part other than the receiver) is not the firearm and therefore, is unaffected by these new regulations.

Past that, Lets be frank, Nobody yet knows how these rules are going to be interpreted by the RCMP. So ask me again in a year and we'll know better how they require things interpreted... However, the letter I received clearly differentiates "possession of" and "transferring" as two separate categories: performing work on, and buying/selling. Unless you are selling/buying your firearm to/from my business, a transfer has not taken place. I would need to record the pertinent info but NOT required to report to the CFO.

Wait, it means you have to in effect keep the same record as a new NR sale rifle for every time a rifle comes into your possession?

Yes - BUT:

The firearms and other info does not go to the RCMP/CFP, it is just retained by the shop doing the work/repair.
They can keep it on a roll of toilet paper if they want. Nothing in the law states how the records are to be kept, just that they must be retained for 20 years.


On May 18, 2022, changes to sections 23 (Authorization to transfer non-restricted firearms) and 58.1 (Conditions - licence issued to business) of the Firearms Act; section 24.1 (Conditions) of the Firearms Licences Regulations; and sections 5 and 6 (Information Relating to Transferee's Licence), 7 (Period of Validity of Reference Number), 10, 11, and 12 of the Conditions of Transferring Firearms and Other Weapons Regulations, will come into force.

These changes will result in the addition to your licence of new conditions related to the retention and preservation of records of non-restricted firearms.

Please find below the business licence conditions that will be added to your current licence as of May 18, 2022.

A notice, with these new conditions, will be mailed to your business address.

If you have questions or would like additional information, please call 1 800 731-4000.

Switching things up for a change, here's a pistol slide I did some milling work on...






Also a thread protector on a CF barrel...




And finally some deep helical fluting on a 1022 barrel.

Mr Cook would you be interested in making gas check dies?

[PR Cook]

I'm always interested in projects. You can email me at: pcook338@gmail.com to discuss further. I must admit, I've never played with a gas check die so you'll need to educate me on the subject.
