Hello,=20
The Craig Heritage Park and Museum in Parksville has been offered a =
1880's single shot, 16-gauge shotgun which was used by one of our =
pioneers, Jim Criag, after whom the museum is named. For us this is an =
incredible artifact, but we do not know what is all involved in aquiring =
a firearm. The shotgun is unregistered and does not work. We have been =
directed by the RCMP to contact the Firearm Registry =
(www.ffc-cafc.gc.ca) but they have not gotten back to us.=20
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed with this =
acquisition. Are we going to get into a lot of trouble with this =
artifact?
