Default Registry question

So my grandpa has a 303 and a 22 that he wants to pass down to me but in order to do so he needs to transfer them over to my name.

His pal expired so he is renewing it but he told me that he talked directly to the department in new brunswick and they sent him papers to re-register the guns in my name.

I was under the impression that that whole ordeal was done with and maybe there was just some miss communication between me and my grandpa but I'm just a little confused on what we have to do. If anyone could shed some light on what might be going on here that would be great.

Thanks

There is no registry. Therefore nothing to transfer to your name. All you need to do is go pick up your guns

If you have a valid pal. Take possession of the NR firearms. Done. No paper work involved. If they are restricted you will need a RPal and have to get firearms transferd.

I understand that. Im just wondering what the firearms department is telling my grandpa. He is almost 90, pretty old school and does what the law tells him so how can i go about telling him otherwise?

It sounds like your grandfather is confusing the renewal forms for his PAL, with registration forms, for the firearms.

My uncle (ex-RCMP, by the book guy) had my grandfather's winchester in NB. We talked, he said it should be mine. Transfer was me showing him a copy of my valid PAL and paying him for shipping.

Or in short

No he is not confusing forums, He had both and filled out the right one and the rcmp sent him other forums to re register the guns. I'll just have to wait till i can make a trip down there to find out.

The 303 is a jungle carbine. Have never seen it, didn't even know he had guns till he told my dad he wanted to get rid of them and i jumped on it lol.

Somebody is misinforming him the long gun registry is gone if you have a valid PAL go pick up the guns and enjoy. Get him to call the RCMP if he is worried so he will know its OK.

Someone is very confused, even when long guns had to be registered, transfers between individuals did not require forms to be filled out by the firearms owner. You simply called the CFC, and it was done over the phone.

Firearms center is still in Mirimichi if he's local to it. Might be worth chatting someone up there as well.
