Any of the military museums in Vancouver can accept the rifle.  My own museum has a small Pacific Militia Ranger collection (including rifles) and we would be happy to have it.  However, we are in Victoria so the local museums would be more convenient for you.  You might try the Royal Westminster Regiment.  Colin (who has recently retired from the City of Westminster museum and has been active on this list) is involved with their museum and should be able to arrange something.

Hello
The destruction of this riffle would be a great Wrong.
We have a director that has the POL and the Pal license and has handled our riffles for us .
His name is Gil Adolph if you contact me I will give you his contact information
I don't know if he can help but worth a try if no one else replies to you that are closer
Regards
Maryann

At the Pitt Meadows Museum we have been offered a Winchester reflex action riffle that was used by a local farmer, pioneer resident and former mayor of the community.  He used it while serving in the local Coast Militia Rangers during World War II.  The problem we have here is that no one on staff has the necessary permits to transport or own the weapon.  Does anyone know if a Museum can recruit a volunteer with the necessary permits to act on behalf of the organization?  I do realize I could go looking for this information myself but I am hoping there is a reader out there who has been in the same position and came up with an interim solution.  The rifle is presently with the RCMP (they don’t have the answer) and is slated for disposal if we (or another suitable facility) does not take on the donation.
 
Any help is very much appreciated.
 
Thank you.
