Removing old long gun registration sticker from receiver ?

They stain the blue
The best place is inside the grip frame, than it does not fall off when you spray G96 all over the gun after every shoot. You do do that , right?
I think I may have a Stevens rifle with a numbered butt plate.
I had two 9422's all through that registration period. 9422's left the factory with serial numbers. Neither of mine had stickers, did not require them as they already have serial numbers to obtain registration. I can not imagine why someone stickered your 9422. Maybe your gun was previously owned by a blind person, or an inept idiot who could not find the serial number. Put the hot air gun to it. It is either that or take the advice of all the CGN lawyers, legal experts and fear mongers who have quoted chapter and verse here. May common sense prevail...!

Lighter fluid removes any sticker I’ve ever needed to remove, have at er!
Back when they were registering long guns you had an option of stamping a unique serial number on any firearm that did not have a number. I did several 22's with unique numbers. I still have one to pass on...

Well done Dennis!
There is a company serial number stamped in the metal and its all matching and visible. i wonder why they affixed a sticker on it and right in the center of the left side receiver instead of a more discreet place. If there was no serial number on the rifle I would understand the purpose of the sticker but there is a serial number and its clearly visible.
Yes its a 1975 mfg with a serial number.

This was not done to "circumvent the system". The way C-68 was written it was an offence to make a false statement on the registration form. Dave Tomlinson of the NFA made the point that "Make" didn't always describe who the manufacturer actually was. For example, "Sears" never made firearms but many guns were stamped "Sears" even though they were actually manufactured by companies like Hi-Standard and Stevens. Hence, if you entered "Sears" as the "Make" you were making a false statement and subjecting yourself to prosecution. Tomlinson's advice was to enter "Unknown" as the "Make" since that protected you from making a false statement. You were simply asserting that not being a firearm expert you could not state with certainty who the actual manufacturer was and did not want to risk prosecution by guessing. Lots of people did it and the CFC issued stickers for any gun so registered.

How could you determine the OP did not deliberately try and circumvent the system ? . He told me he deliberately wrote "no serial " even though most of his firearms did have serial numbers. His thoughts were they then couldn't track his firearms. Instead they issued him stickers with their serial numbers for each of his firearms.
Not that it matters now.

Absolutely Priceless....!!!

Nice, I knew a long time smith that registered every piece of iron in the shop , old frames, a few grease gun and a bunch of custom built caulking guns, 28ga was nice.
He showed me the stack of paper, must have cost $1000's to run all that paper through the system, which was the whole point. I figured the Feds should have paid for my new computer , they did not think so, cheap bastards.
Serial numbers can be hard to read. An "I" might look like a "1" or a "O" like an "0". Some serial numbers on some firearms contained Cyrillic symbols that looked like english letters but were not. The way the law was written making a mistake when providing this information was a criminal offence. Protecting yourself from prosecution is not "circumventing the system".
simple,,EVERYBODY got the same list,,LOL..that original registry list was worthless the minute the LGR was abolished,,amy pwner could have sold their non restricteds the minute later with ZERO trace of that gun from that point on,i know people that actually work in the RCMP firearms program,and they laugh everytime someone mentions they kept a copy of the LGR,about it's only use now is at the toilet,
Unless they use the old entry to get a warrant to boot your door after the firearm previously registered to you is not surrendered, nor been reported as destroyed or exported, when the amnesty period ends. After all, it would only seem reasonable that you likely would still be in possession of it.
Registration ALWAYS leads to confiscation.
