He pays you.
You get his RPAL info.
You hold certificate in your hand.
You call, tell them you want to start a transfer
They ask for serial number and maybe other details (on certificate)
They give you a transfer number
You give that to buyer
He completes the transfer
Deliver item to happy buyer by person or Canada Post.
Signature required, insurance as per buyer request as it’s no longer yours at that point.
Just added a couple things. :)

That little beige piece of paper the Miramichi folks send you with all the particulars of the restricted/prohibited firearm.Quote:

Then you call 1800 731 4000, follow prompts 1 4 2.. English, transfer section, and continue.
You say you want to start a transfer, they will ask if you are the buyer or seller. They will ask your info, name, address, PAL # place of birth etc. Then which firearm you be transferring. So they will ask for the registration certificate number, make, model, serial number. And then the buyers name and PAL number..
They will give you a reference number to give to the buyer. They will call and confirm their info. Depending on the buyers province ( buyers province CFO approves ) call in a few days to check on it. Once complete you box it up good ( I use zip ties alot ) and call the CFO to get a short term ATT to take the restricted to the post office.
Naturally make sure everything is unloaded and no ammo to be shipped. Don't need to tell them what it is. Say no to dangerous good. You must ship by ground.. No xpresspost. And you need a signature required.
And address.Quote:

I thought that was only ammo.Quote:

If there's something that says "adult" required, that's better. Otherwise you might end up in the newspaper with "child received gun, signed for it." as was in the papers earlier this year.
Firearms too.Quote:

So, both sides have to call in separately?
What if you're in the same room?
You can hand the phone over. But they want to talk to them too.
Hand them the phone.Quote:
