Hi I needed advice on any recommend gunsmiths in Edmonton area that can deactivate a restricted and or prohibited items? I don't have much of a budget but can do part cash and trade of my non licensed milsurp items.
Please PM me with your contacts and prices for pistols/revolvers and rifles.
Thx Dag
 
I don't like to deactivate functional prohibs but dewats now cost more and with without prohib status I can't keep them.
 
Mil-Arm has done this for me personally before. Cost was very reasonable.

Dont deactivate prohibs, transfer them to someone else with the proper license then use those funds to get the deactivated gun


DEACTIVATION will be the futur for ALL prohibited firearms.

Or it's will be the melt pot.

SO, it's wise to think about that!

Certian 12.6s can still be transfered down. And just because prohibs are going to end up either destroyed or deactivated doesnt mean we should start now!
 
Hi Dag333,

It doesn't cost you anything to take few pictures and post them. You never know what someone will offer you.

Cheers,

Can you clear things up for everyone, were these ever registered into the system as prohibs so they can be transfered or were they never registered so you cannot transfer them?
 
If I understand correctly they have never been registered so only option is scrap or deactivation to new welded solid requirements....possibly also able to donate to museums but this strangely these action is discouraged by Rcmp. Also have old dewats that are #### and click but Rcmp also want these brought to new welded solid requirement or scrapped as I have no paperwork of original deactivation from most likely pre-95'requirements.
 
Either way simple answer... is I need proper and current deactivation done in Edmonton, so I can get them back items as i don't have cash, patience and will to fight back with lawyer.....just how things are.
 
I found the same thing, if you want to own some of the world war two weapons or any other prohibs, your only choice is to buy a de-activated one (very expensive) or and this is the better / cheaper option is to buy a prohibs and have it de-activated. I have done this with several times, just need to pre-arrange with your gunsmith before you buy (they will need to take delivery).Auction sales ironically are the best prices that I have found.

Yeah, of course they do. Why did you ask them for an opinion about your legal, non-guns?

There was no paperwork to prove the guns were deactivated back in the day. Once they were no longer a gun, they were nobodies problem any more. Anybody could do it, and if the gun was a Registered one, you pretty much only had to take it to the local cops and they would look it over and the registration would disappear. Just another toy for the kids to play Army with, or Cowboys and Indians, as the case may be. Folks were not tied in knots about things that looked like gun, then. The whole replicas, etc., issue came to be with the new laws.

More details needed, to really suggest a useful direction to take. Just crappy, nothing special, guns, or potentially important relics and examples, or historically connected? The RCMP don't care either way. As a system, they pretty much just think of guns as 'bad'.

I agree and thank you all for the info. Unfortunately this is just the way things are...doesn't mean they are right...hahaha.

From what I understand as they are always backlogged...assuming all you deactivated gunsmith papers are in order....several months possibly more?
 
I believe that "Sebarms" in Edmonton does deactivation, as they always have several at the local Gun Shows (google or look in the book - they are not a site sponsor).

Tier One Armoury is another possibility, however they may just sub the work to Sebarms...

Those two are the only likely sources in Edmonton that are worth approaching, to my know.edge. There may be others that I don't know of.
