Firearms-related links for different tasks you might wish to accomplish:
- Link to RCMP PAL Online Change-of-Address Form (Remember, you must update your on-file address with the RCMP within 30 days of a move if you have a PAL — even if you don’t have any firearms.)
- A PDF of the Canadians Firearms Registry Deactivation Guide, for deactivating a firearms legally in Canada “Deactivating”, rather than “disabling”, is a legal distinction whereby the deactivated firearms cannot ever fire again, whereas disabled firearms could be restored to firing order.
Projects we’ve worked on at RGSL over time:
- A link to our Imgur gallery detailing the conversion from a stock Ruger 10/22 to the new ArchAngel kit. RGSL spent some time in summer 2014 converting an older Ruger 10/22 from its factory wood stock over to the ProMag ArchAngel AA556R six-position tactical stock. Take a look at our Imgur page to see what the process looked like!
