I know this is an old thread, but I missed it before.
I thought it was interesting though sad. I thought someone else may also want to read it.
I am 43 years old. My only prohib is an old nickel plated .22 Rossi revolver.
It is unsafe to shoot now, but my father gave it to me when I was 18. The nicest one I have
owned would be a Smith & Wesson 617 with a Four inch barrel.
One day I would love to own a Walther PPK in 22lr.
One of the other Walther .22 semi autos would also be fine.

Of the prohibs I own, only the 4" Ruger Security Six is worth keeping. Even so, only my wife shoots it. The others are short barreled .25 and .32's.
I agree with the saying; "Only accurate guns are interesting". If I can't keep 5 shots on the paper at 7yds., the smelter is a good place for them.

Not going to happen under current law unless the young'uns are also 12-6 or the guns qualify for 12-7 (very narrow criteria).

Export, sell to a dealer, sell to another qualified 12Xer, deactivate, hand in to the cops.
In some cases re-barrel to over 105mm, re-register and turn in the prohibited barrel will work.

I'm 48 and I am still buying the little buggers. I'm not ready to give up yet!

Another problem for the executor of your estate to deal with when the grim reaper does eventually come a calling.
The only ones saveable (inheritable by non 12X relatives) are the ones that qualify under 12-7.
The other ones are earmarked for the smelter.

If you can't keep 5 shots on paper at 7 yds, I suspect the problem isn't the guns. I'll happily take your inaccurate 12(6) guns off your hands.
When I get around to it, I'm going to take them into Epp's and get a few bucks for them. Got to shoot what ammo I have left for them. They were given to me, so anything's a profit.

Wife of a recently deceased hunting buddy of mine from north bay had a bunch of guns (nr rifles and shotguns) and his wife contacted me on what to do with them.
You're talking browning, ruger, sako (a finnwolf levergun in 308 win) rifles and shotguns in good shape not rusty beater lee enfields or cooeys.
She was all set to have the nb cops come over and pick them up.
I told her to get somebody she knew with a pal and good gun knowledge to drive her down to epps with them and it would be best to call ahead and let epps staff know when she was coming.
At least that way she would be getting something ($thousands) for them.
I guess with the addition of obtaining the appropriate atts the process would be the same for restricted and prohibited guns.

I'd drive her down and back, and treat to a Webers burger, for that Finnwolf.

I already had a blr in 308 or I would have grabbed it.
This guy kept his guns in pristine condition.
He spent more time polishing and cleaning them than shooting them.
I'm 47 - I bought my first firearm in 1989 and added to my collection in the early 90's, including 4 prohibs - S&W model 60, 3913, and 5906, and rounded it out with a Walther PPK/S in .380. I had no idea that having a 12.6 license was such a big deal until I got back into shooting and I had to re-educate myself on the new laws...... I wonder who decided that 105mm was the magic number for prohibited barrels...... I can conceal my 120mm barreled CA-75 just as easily as the Walther, in a concealed carry match of course......... our gun laws have some really good points but some really REALLY dumb ones too.
Toronto was transitioning from revolvers to semiautos when they were writing the rules, and they didn't want all those evil 4" barreled police guns going out to the public. - dan
