Hello everyone,

I was hoping someone can direct me to the rules around converting a revolver into a deactivated status? And if possible any information on how using blank rounds in a deactivated revolver would work? I don't believe that these two things are possible buy a friend says otherwise.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Also if there is a better place to post this please re-direct me.
 
I used to do both alterations... but I don't know if the RCMP will allow conversion to a blank gun anymore. I believe revolver deactivation today requires a solid rod through the barrel and the cylinder welded at the muzzle and at the rear.

I don't think it is much about the law, it is about what the RCMP will allow.

Here's a summary of Canadian requirements for deactivation:

http://www.firearmstraining.ca/deactivation.pdf


  1. Revolvers, Revolving Rifles and Shotguns, and Cap and Ball Revolvers
1. The barrel and cylinder must be blocked by a hardened steel pin of bore diameter which traverses the entire length of the barrel and cylinder. The pin must be welded in place at the muzzle, barrel/cylinder gap and except for muzzle-loading firearms, at the breech end of the frame. The strength and hardness of the welds must be similar to that of the firearm.

one has to wonder how you could determine the hardness of the rod once it is welded in place

Yes... the guidelines are made by very stupid people with the worst intentions... we see that within the RCMP occasionally.
 
Yep I was wondering the same thing. Suppose I have a 12.3 converted auto M14 and I take all the parts off of it and put them on a Norinco receiver and keep the 12.3 receiver and register it as just a receiver. Is there anyway of just dewating the receiver so I could use it as a paperweight ?

There are no Canadian requirements. That is a guideline treated as law by jackboot thugs that are above the law and seldom held to account.

Basically they’ll refuse to deregister it unless you meet their arbitrary guidelines.
