Question:

[fat tony]

Say for example, a guy needed a new barrel for gun x. A guy buys a barrel from guy b. Guy b does not have the stuff to remove a barrel from a stripped receiver, they just 'loan' the bought receiver still attached to the bought barrel to 'a guy', so somewhere along the line, a gunsmith has to remove the loaned receiver from the 'bought' barrel. So legalities: does 'a guy' need the registration certificate so the 'gunsmith' will be able to remove the stripped receiver? Otherwise, how can I prove the receiver was loaned to me? Suppose the receiver has no identifying characteristics?

who's on third? :mrgreen:


why not have the guy who owns the receiver send it to the 'smith to get the tube pulled, then shipped back to him, and the barrel shipped to you. Pay the owner of the action for the cost of removing the barrel.

In the case of a non restricted firearm, all the law requires is that the registration certificate is with the firearm and the person possessing the firearm has a valid license. The firearm does not have to be with the registered owner.

"...Guy b does not have the stuff to remove a barrel from a stripped receiver..." Guy b shoudn't be selling just the barrel if he can't get it off the receiver. He should have had it removed before he sold just the barrel.
"...Pay the owner of the action for the cost of removing the barrel..." Why? He's the one selling just a barrel. He should have it removed and ship it to the buyer. The buyer is under no obligation to pay for anything not related to his purchase of said barrel. Getting it off the action isn't related to buying the barrel.
"...Suppose the receiver has no identifying characteristics?..." Where's the S/N?
