Hi, can you say me who can do the job on a Luger to change class.
I know I must change barrel but there are others solutions.
Dlask sell barrel, do you know other store who sell it ?

And what I have to know about it ?

A man give me the pistol but I don't have prohib. Class... I think it is a crime to do it but no question I let it pass this occasion. BYF 42, All match, original holster with spare mag, belt and belt buckle.

Thanks

Louis
 
Illegal for you to have until it gets a new barrel.

If it's already in your possession I'm not sure If you can do anything but have it destroyed, because you won't be able to get an ATT to take it to a smith to rebarrel it. (Also I wouldn't admit to having it in your possession on a public forum, I'd you do in fact have it)
 
You don't even say whether or not it is registered. Is it???? If not, you are breaking lots of laws by having it in your possession.

I suspect you are from Quebec??? Not that it matters in this situation.

If the person you got it from was in legal possession and is still alive or it is in possession of the estate which is deemed to be in legal possession until it can be sold etc. Have it taken to a gunsmith or shipped to a gunsmith and have the barrel removed. Then, if the gunsmith has a lathe and knows his stuff he can order in a barrel blank and turn it down to a similar profile but with a restricted length, say 108mm. Then he takes it to a verifier to and has it reclassified by the legal and sometimes lengthy process. Pain in the butt and it will not be cheap, close to half or more of the present value of the pistol. Then the pistol will lose close to a third of its original value because it has been re barreled.

If the P08 is registered properly, your best bet may be to sell the pistol to a properly licensed individual. If it has some sentimental value, then you have to make a personal choice.
 
OK, I used wrong tense verb... don't call police, army or RCMP...

Again my fault, I put to much informations with no realy importance and I have 1/2 of my answer.

But first of all: Yes, I come from Québec
yes the gun is registrated, and no, I don't have it in my possession,
My oncle want to give it to me, that's why I wrote "no question I let it pass this occasion"
For value... a prohib is sold average 1000$ and a restricted... 1000$
For historical value... I know but just to bad...

What I realy want to know:
"can you say me who can do the job on a Luger to change class?

Dlask sell barrel, do you know other store who sell it ?

Thanks
and sorry for my English mistakes

why not just order the Dlask barrel and have a smith swap them and have it verified plenty of smiths can do it
 
Bits of Pieces in Vancouver carries barrels and does the rebarrel, bluing, re-registering etc at a good price. Give him a call and see if he's interested - he usually has a long wait list :p
 
thanks H Wally.

If I choose to sell it, what are range price now ? The last time I checked for that it was 800$ to 1200$.
The only things that make me doubt, is historical value...
As I said, all match, holster, 1 spare mag.

Do you have an Idea ?

you can't sell it because you can't legally own it id have it rebarreled or see if you can get 12.7 prohibited
 
Why not ship the upper to Dlask and have him do the barrel. He can also verify it in to the proper category. I sent an upper to him a few years ago, couple of weeks later I had it back. Beautiful work.

I would said, sell it for my oncle..
OK ... for all next thread, I have difficult to communicate in English. I do my best. I am legal, I have a good comprehension of laws. I had my restricted class like many of you.
Je penses que je devrais "poster" en français, comme ça, il n'y aurait pas d'ambiguïté mais vous ne comprendriez rien.

Can you let me a chance for my language.
Stop to think all people are illegal because you not necessery know all details.
Also, I said for you, that am not the best in English and it may cause "ambuguity"...
I don't want to insult you but this is why I stopped to visit CGN there are few years.

Everyone is being very nice, I'm sorry if you feel they are not, but you are correct, there is a language barrier. Bear with the posters on this thread. :)
 
Here is what I did just about 10 months ago:

A guy from Quebec owned the gun and he had it registered legally as a prohib. I wanted to buy it and didn't have a prohib licence so I contacted the gunsmith at Epps and we came up with a plan. I paid the owner upfront for the Luger. The owner then mailed the gun to Epps to be rebarreled. Epps rebarreled it and sent in the paperwork to the RCMP for the reclassification change from Prohib to Restricted. When the owner got the reclassification, he initiated the transfer to me. When the transfer was complete, Epps mailed me the gun.

It did take about 6 months from start to finish but most of that time was the RCMP feet dragging.
 
For Deckard: In my first post " BYF 42, All match, original holster with spare mag, belt and belt buckle".
Thanks Paatz and Odinson, great idea.

Sorry for my lack of patience. I'll pm to concerned member next time.
 
if your father / mother is still alive (the one who is brother / sister to your uncle) the gun can be transferred to which ever one applies as long as they have a RPAL or are prepared to get one. In turn they can transfer the gun to you. Transfers can go up or down in age and cross ways between brothers and sisters . If the person intermediate to you is not a shooter, they can own the gun as a collectible and family heirloom without having to join a range

cheers mooncoon
 
Worth looking into the family heirloom side of things for sure.
What's the story on the Luger? War trophy from a relative or just something your uncle bought? Pretty sure the heirloom side of things would be a war era "bring back" and not something your uncle bought from someone unrelated but I could be wrong.
 
For heirloom, this is nearly impossible. Not a direct family member.
Think it is a war trophy because the gun werw bring back by his father who puts it in a safe without fire it. He gives it to my "uncle" there are about 40 years and he never fires it.
He was in police and never had the "desire" of fire it.
Last year, my "uncle" give me the buckle and a small box of ammo with 24 germans 9mm 1940-41-43...and a complete box of 1943 9mm canadian ammo.
Not an expert but the gun is in very good condition. Blued seem to be 95% ++++.

thanks for all

Louis
