I'm newly licenced in B.C. and just recently ordered a 1911 Commander (my first restricted :D). Guy at the CFO office called me and asked me to fax in my gun club membership letter (Silvercore) so he could approve the transfer. Then he surprised me and said he was going to issue me a LTATT good for all ranges, gunsmiths and to border crossings, and good for all restricted firearms registered to me. Didn't have to apply even - it's "automatic" here, I guess.

I had actually mailed my application for it only the day before, so they hadn't received that yet. I mentioned this to him, but he didn't care. What he issued me is what I was applying for anyway, so I didn't care either. :D

Got it in the mail today and it has no Reg Cert numbers listed - in that box it says "See Conditions".

The Conditions are listed as follows:
  • The holder must be in possession of the Registration Certificate(s) for the firearm(s) being transported.
  • Firearms may only be loaded and/or carried on your person while you are actively engaged in target practice or a target shooting competition.
  • This authorization allows the holder to transport firearms from the place of registration to a Gunsmith licenced as a business under the Firearms Act for the purpose of maintenance, repair, modification or deactivation and return to the place of registration.
  • This authorization allows the holder to transport firearms to and from border crossings on condition that the holder is in possession of the necessary US documentation.

So I was happy that they make it pretty simple and painless to get it done.

you dont have to own the restricted, just have the reg cert for it
 
OP: What Heavenisalie is telling you: simplest, cheapest way, BORROW a restricted.
Your LENDER can get a ST-ATT to your house, you have an R-PAL, and now you need the LT-ATT to the range. That's if you can't afford the $15 or so for a Tokarev frame.

Your CFO can't tell you that you can't borrow a restricted firearm. Well I guess they can tell you anything, but you have the lawful right to borrow a restricted firearm. I just got an ST-ATT to the post office so I could lend a friend in another city one of my handguns by mail. Certificate goes in the box with it. Done.
 
i was just pointing out for him that even though the guy said all guns registered to him on the phone, his ATT actually lets him use any gun he has the reg cert for. OP had a different issue but sadly i didnt read all the pages to find it

BC will also issue and ATT even if you dont have a restricted registered to you, a friend has one so he can bring his fiances pistol to the range even though all he has is rifles (well, he would bring the pistol if she ever let him...)

What! Someone on CGN actully followed through with advice I gave! Woo hoo! There's a 1st time for everything lol.

I really do like my m-93, like you said it's a cheap plinker and so long as you know that and don't expect to try and shoot down military helicopters with it, you'll be happy with it! Enjoy!

I havent' read the whole thread yet, but here is my suggestion.

if you NEED a restricted now, but can't find what you want or are unsure of what you want get a norinco m-93.

It's a .22LR pistol it's around $175 brand new. they are a great little gun. Thousands of rounds through mine with no issues. They are a great little gun and dirt cheap!
