Registration help?

[Goat_47_]

Hi all. I was hoping to open a discussion where people can talk about issues regarding firearms registration/insurance.

I want to open this because I have a problem myself. My dad is currently in possession of two rifles and a shotgun. They have all been in the family for years and have changed hands a few times. They all have the serial numbers but I know that none are registered. What steps should I take to re-register these firearms?

Any and all help is appreciated as I don't want these guns to be unregistered and in my parents home. What would happen if someone broke in and stole them?! They live in the country but you never know.

Thank you everyone and I hope to hear some good news!

Join the NFA, it only costs $30.00 and they know all the legal in's and out's about what you need to know. It's money well spent

The long gun amnesty was renewed, so your safe.

What it means is that you can
A. Call up the CFC and register it, I believe you can do it online also by logging into your account via firearms license number.

B. Dont register. If caught with them, you will probably get charged but the amnesty will protect you. Meaning while the RCMP would seize them, you can still call in and register them.
Downside is you may still go through a few thousand in lawyer fees to settle everything out.
Upside is the gov't will never know you have them, and will never be able to confiscate them.

Im not sure how it would work if they are stolen, but I would think you could either deny ownership of them (being that you have no proof that they are yours), or you could probably call in and register them and claim them as stolen at the same time or simply report them as stolen(once again, the amnesty should protect you there).

With the vote on C-391 (bill to kill the long gun registry) taking place on September 21st an 22nd I would wait.

That's what I would do.

Hey thanks guys that was a big help. I talk to my Dad and he told me that they have never been registered. They were all my great grandfathers guns, all have serial numbers. I guess I should have no trouble registering them in my name. My pop told me I can have them all as my own too. Great gift.

Cheers guys and thanks again.

What make are these guns? Just curious since you said they were your grandfathers.

I have registered several previously unregistered. No issues. In the "reason" space, I just put previous owner did not register.

kennedy, they are:

-A CIL imported Anschutz Model 125 .22LR
-A Remington Model 700 in .243 Not sure of the year...
-A Winchester Model 12 12x2 3/4 Made in 1958. Looks brand new, I will post pics sometime soon.
Also, I was wondering if there is a way to find out how old my Remington is? I can't seem to find the date of manufacture code that is supposed to be on the barrel.
I would also like to find out about the .22's manufacture date as I was told they were made from 1940 to 1960?
