.30-30 - Cause of restricted classification?

In re-reading your post it is my opinion that this is the executor's responsibility, not yours.

Have them sort it out and transfer the firearm to you once all of the hurdles have been cleared as they have some legal tools at their disposal that you do not.

It’s also worth noting that Armalytics does not list a single restricted lever action rifle in its files, and only list 5 restricted lever action handguns, two are Mare’s Legs and three are late 1890s european designs.
 
Call it what you want, but it's clearly marked '' shotgun'' and ''restricted '' on the registration certificate, nowhere it's marked handgun.

Therefore it must be a restricted shotgun, a manualy operated restricted shotgun !

Nope, that’s a pistol grip. Therefore it called into that quasi handgun classification.

there are 2 Chaippa mares legs.. one NR with a 12 inch barrel amd an R with a 9.
you could also take a Rem 700 and make your own xp100 which would be restricted.

We used to take XP100's and rebarrel and stock them, they made great varmint guns. Then one year Miramichi decided in their infinite "wisdom" that we couldn't do that anymore. Too hard for them to figure it out I guess. - dan

Since the RCMP has it registered as restricted, the OP should call the RCMP to get it reclassified. He will likely be referred to a firearms verifier, who will attest that the gun is non-restricted. An ATT will be required to take it to the verifier. Leaving things as is may lead to very expensive legal trouble, if the wrong planets somehow align. The OP may come out of it vindicated, but he will most certainly be poorer.

I had a similar problem a few years back with trying to register a 22 Semi (Philippines piece of ####e) that was given to me but listed as a Restricted. Was suppose to resemble an AR15 I guess. I called and had its designation changed to non restricted.

1ABNDT,

That's a pretty neat looking rifle. It looks something like a steampunk cowboy would have.

Cheers,

My thoughts exactly. It's not my personal taste either, bit then again, it's not my rifle.

I do think it's interesting though. And for my part, I'd rather follow 1ABNDT's approach and not split people apart for their choice of rifles.

We all could think of other shooters and enthusiasts as our virtual neighbors. Thinking about like this - that we are all here together - could guide our actions in the right direction.

Cheers,
Neil

I can relate to this in a shooting recreation. I own a 50 meter free pistol. Out of 500 members my club, I am the only one that owns/shoots one of these unusual handguns.
 
Brutus,
I've only seen a couple of competitions using free pistol. The competitor's one handed accuracy was quite impressive!

Of the pistols I've seen, some are really well styled, although very different than what come to mind when I think of what a pistol is. Some others look like a Dali painting.

Cheers,
Neil

Yes sir it's more like precision shooting of the rimfire handgun world. And during nice outdoor weather the constant target checking at 50 meters kind of relaxing. A little walk in the grass. If u don't wish to bring your spotting scope everything fits into one locked case.
Minimal equipment. It's not for everybody but I enjoy it.

Happy to share this is resolved!

After receiving my PAL recently, I started with my provincial CFO office. Turns out provincial CFOs have nothing to do with classifying firearms, but they gave me a particular extension to dial at the CFP main office. Turns out that extension is no longer valid, but after a few transfers I spoke with someone. Must say, they were very understanding and helpful.

I provided the gun's info (Model, S/N, caliber, barrel length) and my PAL number, CFP looked up the classification in their database; and confirmed the rifle is non-restricted. CFP told me because it is in fact NR I am free to take possession, that there were many classification errors during the registry days. No need to formally re-classify the rifle! CFP told me the records associated with non-restricted models of firearms were destroyed when the long gun registry was abandoned. I.e. the paper copy I have of the registration certificate is the only thing stating the rifle is "restricted".


If anyone else has a similar situation: I'm sorry I don't have the exact extension to share, however; if you call the CFP number (1-800-731-4000) and select option 4 (initiate transfer of a restricted firearm) I'm sure you'll wind up with the right person.

Going shooting this afternoon. Really appreciate the guidance this community gave. Thank you!
