Pretty sure any new dewat cant have any moving parts. Plus plugged/welded barrel

Rifle or pistol? You can look up the procedure on the RCMP's website. Basically you must:
Drill hole through barrel and receiver. Drive in pin, weld in place. Destroy breechface, cutting back at 45 degrees. Weld to prevent disassembly.
If it is a handgun, and you want it removed from the registry, the work must be done by an approved gunsmith.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to deactivate a firearm?

The rcmp website says it must be "confirmed" by a lisenced gunsmith. They mention guidelines on the rcmp site but I can't find them , other than it must be permanent . Just curious if anyone here has done it to a tokarev pistol.

^^This right here^^
UNLESS there is something mechanically wrong that isn't worth fixing and you just want a wall hanger.

There’s a lot of easy to remove parts in a tok that other tok shooters might like to have...

A 33 isn’t the most attractive piece for a wall hangar either...

Figured it would make a nice wall hanger in the man cave .

I would give the people in Ottawa a call. They will direct you as to the best course of action.
I seem to recall the requirement for an "approved" gunsmith is not required. They mag want to inspect your work... or the might just want images. If (big if) they just want images your best bet will be pictures at EVERY step.

Thanks , pardon my ignorance but who are the people in Ottawa ? I was going to call the office in Miramichi.

It's my belief you need to speak with the people in Ottawa... the registry? Call the normal number. The ones on the east coast will put ya though.

If you just want a wall hanger, why not just buy one that's already deactivated? There's lot's of conversation worthy pieces, alternative to the Tok, for sub $400.00. Though the Tok you have is already bought....I get that.

Was thinking since I already have it and if I could do it myself it would be the cheapest .

 

[gaff]

At the end of the day. there going to want a licensed gunsmith to sign off on it.

 

[Semi12]

You need a gunsmith or a verifier

I would go that route but couldn't find anything sub 400

I'm assuming you mean the new "guide lines".... note the wording. Please show me any Canadian law that says you can't. While you're at it please find the "guide lines" in law. Oh that's right... you can't.
