I took ownership of my dad's old AR15 that he hadn't registered since the old provincial registry.

What I mean is they'll dig up the info and do the work at their end based off the serial.

O.K. Yes that works, they will also find the Cert # from the serial, This will just be a privet transfer, if the owner can make a phone call.

I have run into guns that have sat in the system for yrs , with no calls, letters from Fire arms. Did one for a estate that was 1970's.
Had a gun show up in my name from 1980,s that I had sold, transfer never completed at the other end.
There nothing with this where you need to worry, as long as the owner will call the transfer in simple.
Only problem that could crop up is if the cobra is a 12-6, than things can go south, if he let his RPAL run out .
P.S. Why the hell would this not have been taken care of before he left? and tossing the paper work is not a big deal, but not smart.

I had 12/6 guns transfered to my name from people who had old FAC expired long ago and no valid RPAL without any problems, better than that, they werent even registered into the new system !

But they are still in the old system. So still paper on them.
What I should have said, if the gun is 12-6, than the new owner also has to be 12-6.
