Hello

I think I over stated in the title.

I am curious as to what in theory a person who has a Proh. handgun has to do to have it converted to Restricted. IF it falls in the caliber that it is possible to do, 22cal.

I know all about having the barrel exchanged by a licenced gun smith to the Restricted length of 105mm length min.

What I was curious about is from having the firearm in your hands, what paperwork, permission etc. do you need to start the process IF you have a gun smith ready to do it and deal with the government afterwards.

1) Can you with a trigger lock on the firearm, ship it to a gunsmith to do the work and they then deal with the government to change the paperwork?
2) Do you first have to have a shipping/transfer O.K by CFC ?

What ALL paperwork does one need to start the process and then get a Legally converted to Restricted handgun back in your name?
I think I asked what I was wondering about.

If you could, your answer in steps please.

Thanks for clearing this up.

Hi Master-G

Short answer Not the same question. Those past posts asked about the actual work needed to be done.
This current post asked about what ALL paperwork is needed to be included with the P.H firearm, if any, so that it can be sent to a gun smith to do the actual work?

I'm not trying to be a wise guy, George, but maybe this is something that you should inquire about directly with the CFO/CFC and gunsmiths - especially since you will have to contact them anyway if you proceed. If you do that, you can report back here and inform the CGN members.
 
First off, you don't get to have the gun in your hands. You arrange to buy the gun and the existing owner ships it to whomever is doing the work. If I recall the gun is still in the owners name until the classification is complete and then the transfer is done (remember you don't have 12/6 and they won't register it to you even in order to de-prohib). A lot of sellers won't agree to this simply because it is a pain in the a$$ and unless they have simplified the process it can take months. Also not all gunsmiths can work on prohibs. and in general they do the paper work. Basically you agree to buy the gun and pay the seller, and tell your gunsmith what you want, and that is the extent of paperwork on your end till the gun is done and the actual transfer takes place and then it is just a regular restricted transfer. That is how I remember it. They may have simplified the process, but it is the government you are dealing with so I doubt it
