Re-registering prohib as restricted?

[Master-G]

I've got a 12.6 Glock 23 that I'm thinking of adding a restricted-length replacement barrel to. What's the process for getting its classification changed? If I remember correctly the old prohib-length barrel has to be destroyed--is that correct?

 

[Griffoneur]

Yup, barrel has to be turned in for destruction. Also, you can never go back to a shorter barrel. It is forbidden to go from restricted to prohib, its a 1 way trip only.

Thanks, Griffoneur--that's what I thought. How do I kick the process off--do I contact the CFC?

Also, make sure you keep at least one 12.6 firearm, or you revert back to plain-old restricted...

I had mine done by a dealer, as it must be verified after conversion anyways.

 

[Master-G]

Sounds straightforward enough. For those that have had it done--how long did it take before the re-classification was completed by the CFC?

 

[Master-G]

I've answered my own question--I dropped the old prohib barrel off to the local Firearms Office last Friday, visited the verifier and faxed in the forms on Saturday and found out today that the classification was completed today (Tuesday). All in all pretty quick service.

You couldn't have sold it to someone who has 12(6)?

After I purchased the pistol I found out that the chamber had been modified in a way that I considered to be unsafe so I did not want to sell it to anyone else in that condition.

No, it does not.

You can sell it or give it to someone else who has one of those pistols.

The CFO wouldn't give me that option when I converted my G19 from prohib to restricted.
