What makes an M1 Prohib?

OK something appears to be amiss here.

Your father has a registration cert. and it states prohibited, he also has an rPal?

Is there a reason why he cannot just keep it?
 
Whoa there Nellie! When was the rifle built!? A prohibited firearm in the family can stay in the family if it was built prior to...1946? (check that) All the OP would have to do is apply for 12-7 grandfathering status for that gun. Don't do a thing to it OP until you check your rights...and no, the RCMP will not offer this information up willingly, they want it gone.
 
...and everyone thought Sunray was gone. His spirit lives on, especially in this thread. Looks like multiple people have become possessed by his ghost.

12.7 is for grandfathered 12.6 pistols manufactured prior to 1946 that are in the family, not rifles. There is no grandfathering for any firearm in the 12.2-12.5 categories.

Ah thanks for that Don Kael. And Light Infantry, thank you for reaffirming for me why you're on my ignore list...Richard!

@OP, I was trying to help but apparently there is a caveat in the firearms legalities that I was unaware of. Sorry if I've misdirected you in these few moments.

My father has an M1 that is registered as prohib. Others on this board talk about restricted and now the non-restricrted M1s. My question is what is different about my father's M1 that puts it in the prohib class? I would like to keep it in the family but i don't know if anything can be modified to re class it.

Full auto or once was a m2and converted back to semi auto.

Although you won't see this, I am truly honoured making your list.

As for my post, it was directed to other posters as well. But hey, if you feel offended...that's too bad. Seems some people cant take a bit of light hearted ribbing. Remember: post bad information; you will get called on it.

The dangerous parts that differentiate an M1 carbine from an M2 carbine are all removable and interchangeable. Take off the selector lever, which is also the pin that attaches the trigger group to the receiver, and there is no full auto capability. The trigger group has a sear lever that has no function without the long selector lever. The slide on the M2 has a bevel somewhere, but is otherwise identical. The number on the receiver is irrelevant. This is not the US where the BATFE has a 'once a machine gun always a machine gun' rule, nor is an ordinary M1 or M2 necessarily a Converted Auto, except if the full auto parts are present.

If the RCMP are close minded and quote the right CCC and Firearms Act sections, and insist that the firearm cannot be transferred, here is what I suggest. Strip off the parts. Cut a piece out of the receiver side rail with a hacksaw. You probably don't even need to get a transport permit to a gunsmith to do it (and all the opportunities for losing possession or control that this might trip.) The receiver cannot be fired and the parts are just spare loose bits now. There is no possibility to deactivate a stripped receiver according to the deactivation instructions. The chunk out of the sidewall is pretty obvious. Sell the parts to whoever is interested, or build another rifle. No drama.

actually, we do have the once a machine gun, always a machine gun rule. it might go from full auto to converted auto, but never will it leave the prohib class
 
Bad information.
12.7 only applies to 12.6 handguns.
Other prohibited classes cannot be passed down.
