This guy.

Joe Dlask bobbed a 1911 hammer for me for free as I watched. Maybe he is busier now, but he is A Good Guy. I watched him test a customer's 1911 on the Barnett range, he is also a very good shot.

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but how would you go about shipping a pistol to a gunsmith that is out of town? i.e. Clarence?

What are the legal requirements to ship it, since it is registered to you, but will not be in your possession (and could go missing during shipment)?

With the new Bill C42 all you need is a STATT to take it to the post office and mail it to the smith. Good to throw a copy of the reg card in with it.

Canada Post, but don't ship it airmail! It is suppose to be trigger locked and in a locked container. And you do need the STATT, yup.

NO NEED STATT any more for any regular maintenance/warranty work, or just to pick up your newly purchased firearm from postal office. This is my personal experience with Ontario CFO. I was being cautious in at least 3 cases, every time they told me that these situations are included in the 6 conditions(see details below and the RCMP source) and no need STATT. Only once when I need to return a purchase(NOT warranty), I DO need a STATT to go to postal office. The CFO slipped her tongue and said "here is your ATT to go to postal office to shoot". Permission from RCMP to go postal. Lol...
