I've received conflicted reports on displaying Deactivated Rifles... for example, my buddy owns a studio in the GTA, Ontario and wants to display a deactivated rifle - either as is or in a display case. Does he need a PAL as well? What are the steps he has to take to do this? Trigger Guard?

For the kind vets here, remember I posted this in the "newb" section ;)
 
Just had to Google it.

DEACTIVATION GUIDELINES

confirmed by a gunsmith, to no longer be considered a
firearm as per the definition of a "firearm" in S. 2 of the
Criminal Code.

I should’ve clarified, yes it would be a purchase for an official deactivated rifle. The plan is not to purchase one and then go through the steps of having it deactivated
 
Never understood the obsession with buying up neutered firearms. Do you guys have the balls you once had up on display too? What a waste.

You’re obviously too young to have handled and operated some of these lovely firearms when they were legal to shoot. Those of us who have shot them and others that appreciate some of these fine items of yore have purchased these for historical reasons.

Your immature remark about manhood shows your lack of respect for historical firearms ownership.

They're not legally firearms so you can buy/display without a PAL, but be mindful of the fact that it's still not a toy and anyone looking through your buddy's window might not know/care. Be discreet, it was once a firearm and anyone who sees it will assume it is.

So..not a firearm, but also not something you want to wave around in front of your window.

I understand the appeal 100%, and so too do the people who buy them. I've been tempted a number of times myself, and have never wanted anything more than the WW2-era 1911 a buddy had back in the early 80s. #### n click deactivation, basically no bluing left. Didn't change the desire. lol
 
If you want a deactivated rifle, by whatever you want and pay to have it deactivated.
You don't even have to take possession of the rifle - have it delivered to the gunsmith doing the work.
