I think in this case, where a transfer is in progress, if it looks like it may be prohibited, the best thing would be cancel the transfer, and fade into the woodwork, hoping the RCMP doesn't come looking. If they do ("Since it's prohibited, sir, you'll have to turn it in"), then the next step would be get a lawyer onside and fight, or give it up peacefully (probably depending on your financial situation).
This is a perfect example of what the orgs should be getting involved with. They all seem to slow to react. A phone call to an org from one owner saying "I measured my lower, and I think it's prohibited", should immediately be met with independent confirmation of the measurements, and if prohibited, the lawyer comes onsite, and a call to the RCMP is made "I have a lower that you believe is a prohibited firearm. I have no plans to let it out of my possession. Your move", and see if they flinch. Nonsense like this has to be challenged before it gets out of hand.
