Never registered arms...

I came across a deal on some long rifles that were basically inherited by a friend (who doesn't have a PAL or want rifles).

The thing is that they are pretty old and have never been registered, so I'm not sure how to go about this.

Can I just buy them and then register them with the RCMP?
Will they give me a hard time or is it a big hassle?
Will he (the seller) have to prove anything?

He has absolutely no paper work at all, they're essentially unknown of according to any Govt bureaucracy and were used for hunting only (perfectly clean). I know the guy well enough, they belonged to his grandfather.

I just don't want to get them if I'll get f*cked by our glorious, ever so thoughtful Canadian Govt, so any help is appreciated.

It's basically:
2 x 30-06 rifles
1 x 22lr rifle
1 x British 303 rifle

All lever or bolt action

Thanks.
 
Well you're in Quebec so I'm not sure if its different but now that the lgr is gone I would think you could just collect them up and call them your own(assuming by the description that they are all non restricted). If I'm wrong someone will be sure to correct.
 
As far as I have heard, in most cases you can call the CFC and they will walk you through the process of registering the firearms. I think in a few cases you might be required to submit the firearms for verification, but that's probably not the case from your description. Generally they're happy to get them on the books.
 
back when the lgr was around, i was given my grandpa's shotguns that were unregistered and all i did was call and tell them i wanted to register them under my license, they didnt even have a problem when i told them there were no serial numbers (they are about 100 yrs old) as long as the rules in quebec now are the same as they used to be here it should be no problem
