Hey Everyone,
got my RPAL about 1 month ago now, and after talking with my grandpa he wants me to take his 1915 Colt New Service. He hasn't fired it in years, and I am going to take him out with it after I get it cleaned up and find some ammo. Just curious and want to make sure I have all the steps needed.
The gun was registered by him in the 70's with the RCMP, so there should be no issues there. As far as I can tell we will both need to call the Alberta CFO to get this approved, and then I can get my ATT to bring it home? I am going to get an Associate membership for now at a local range so that there are no issues there. If I am missing anything, please let me know!! Not sure yet if it is chambered in the original .455 Eley or if it got changed to .45 Colt as I hear this was common. Once I get it I will definitely post some pics as well!
Thanks in advance.
