The legal side of changing calibers in the same pistol

None of my reg certs specify caliber. The S/N is on the frame, so even a slide change over isn't going to matter.

What are you guys talking about?

You can get 22lr slide conversion kits that aren't considered restricted items.

What are you guys worried about?

Nope I'm not wrong, drop in conversion barrel doesn't apply if he's keeping the original barrel.

Whether he keeps the first barrel or uses it to plug a hole in Hoover dam is irrelevant. The law says what it says and it says nothing about your BS about keeping the original barrel.

You are wrong and the law proves it.

Yes

As per the law posted above.

This isn't rocket surgery. Read the firearms act. The issue is that 99% of people refuse to read the actual law and post up what ever made up BS they come up with as law. And then the other lazy people who also refuse to read the law parrot it as fact.

As such, both parts (of restricted and prohibited firearms) need to be registered because both are considered to be firearms (therefore, controlled parts). Whether the actual paper registration is issued for both is another matter and in my view only CFOs decide that. Remember, your paper registration certificate has caliber of the complete product (frame and receiver together) listed on it. HINT!!!


Now, I do stand corrected on my statement about the presence of serial numbers. Firearms Act allows for a firearm to be described (...in the prescribed manner. (Whatever that means)).

LOL

You're not as informed as you think you are

Last time I checked you cant fire any shot, bullet or other projectile from a slide. Not to mention as per the CCC and firearms act you require a PAL to buy a firearm but some how you magically don't require one to buy a slide. Kind blows you BS out of the water don't you think?

Also firearms registered as frames or receivers only don't have caliber listed any where HINT!

Go ahead call the CFC tomorrow and try and register a slide and let us know how it goes. Sorry but you are wrong the frame/receiver is the firearm not the slide.

I ran into the problem before when I bought a used Kimber 1911 .22LR from an estate and when we went to go transfer the registration and we told them its a .22LR the RCMP were complete dumbfounded. They told us that the caliber they have registered to it is .45ACP. Only explanation is the gun was originally a .45ACP and the original owner installed the .22LR conversion kit and the .45ACP slide was lost when they were sorting though the estate. No big deal they just changed its registration to .22LR.

If you are trying to call out all the uninformed people for being uninformed, you probably shouldnt say things like "(whatever that means)". It makes you sound uninformed.

The criminal code that you have already quoted explains what in the prescribed manner means. It means prescribed by regulations.

I am sure you know how to find the regulations that prescribe firearms serial number markings...

Yet an AR is an AR regardless of caliber and barrel length.

Well thats what we call a truism.
An apple is an apple. What else could it be?

And yet this begs the question. What is an AR, and what features make it so? Dont actually answer that.

Did you mean that an AR is Restricted regardless of barrel length or caliber? Cause thats false.
