Any range official asking me to produce a reg cert has got another think coming. They have no authority to demand it and will be told as much.

don't have one in front of me but IIRC the certificates don't show the firearm class. Just action type etc and barrel length over or under 470mm. Just has a CX4 rebarrelled to non-restricted length and the only difference is in the barrel length statement. So to "prove" it's non-restricted to an LEO who may not be familiar with the law the certificate may not be enough - a follow-up call to CFC may be required.
I made a copy of my registration, laminated it with packing tape, and stuck it in the little cubby hole in the butt stock. This way I always have proof of the firearm class if some over zealous horse cop goes on a fishing expedition.
Luckily the local mounties are aware I'm smarter than them when it comes to firearms so they generally take my word for it.

If a Leo asks than show your registration. If a range Nazi asks tell him to look it up himself.

I have not been asked with my Tavor, but I was given an attempted lecture years ago with my AR180B, gun rack, having a gun at night, etc. After a polite lesson on the transport laws, the local officer has never bothered me as she knows I'm far more knowledgable than her on firearms laws.
I was pulled over one day in November, around 3:00AM, 20 feet from my house. The Tavor was laying across the front seat in plain view. Amongst other standard questions, I was simply asked if I was out hunting. I replied no and nothing more was said about it. In my small town you will almost always get pulled over at 3:00 AM as there are usually only two things you can be up too. Coming from or going to work, and drunk driving.

That's what I do with the cert for my AR. I also keep a copy of my LTATT in there with it in a Ziploc bag. It can be a tight fit, but then it's always with the firearm, just like the law requires for transport.
