now there is no tracing of where that carbine has been or where it went.

Just reading the update and realized I was certainly remiss in not acknowledging Klondiker at the time for the excellent job he did on my carbine to bring the chamber into spec. Thanks again man...and also thanks for bringing the Garand out just so I could hear the "ding" for real and not on a movie/TV screen.

The Canadian Firearms Program does not dictate what barrel you can and can't put on your firearm. All they control is whether or not they will issue a certificate for it. If they refuse to issue the certificate you can go to court over it.
TO my knowledge there is no reason why an M1 receiver with a short barrel would be precluded from being lawfully registered as a restricted firearm.
That's fine and dandy but the CFC will NOT allow you to take a NON restricted m1 carbine that was restricted and make it restricted again
they will send you something saying they are no longer restricted eventually
If they refuse to issue you a registration certificate you S74 their asses. I assume that is what Cam is getting at?
No, they won’t. The registration certificates are no longer in their system. She indicated they were no longer allowed to have visibility of the firearm now that it’s non-restricted. Her words...
I’m glad I could help tick a box on your bucket list. Everything worked out well for both of us. Thank you

The pistol barrel is back in service??
It sure is! thanks for your help with that. I believe it shoots as accurately as before.
I'll definitely be more careful about the ammo I run these older guns
I went through this same thing recently on a different firearms and after calling around all the gun stores in Calgary I quickly realised they were ALL inept and had no clue what they were talking about.
Calgary Shooting Centre: Told me only their gunsmith can "verify firearms" and he only does it for new shipments of product they receive (that's not even remotely the job of an RCMP verifier);
The Shooting Edge: Only JR can verify firearms and he is busy (maybe try training other staff members? It is a free online course after all)
Pro Line Shooters: Yes we can verify it but you have to surrender the barrel to us and we have to keep the firearm for several weeks (make up rules and enforce them).
Pro Line was by far the dumbest answer I received.
