The restricted ones are registered...so they know you have them.

I bought 2 stripped lowers for 150$ with the intention of building them. The government is now giving me 1880 for them, they know I have them, I need my PAL for my job plus I have handguns I would like to not lose.

I'll be buying 3 SKS's when they cut me the check, also I am spray painting my lower's bright pink before turning them in.

I may get down voted for turning stuff in but if I had stuff unregistered I wouldn't be turning them in, my hands are kinda tied.

they are giving you that much just for a stripped lower? i don't believe that

u/Dapper-Moose-6514 Mar 20 '26

It's 940 a lower, I have 2 of them. I also am skeptical but they never changed status as finished and have always been stripped lower. I took screenshots of the amount they are offering and have the original paperwork stating them as stripped lower's.

Me too, but the X is firmly pressed for doubt.

Non-compliance is absolutely an option. Your hands aren't tied. FYI you're not gonna see a dollar.

DM me when you get paid. I won't hold my breath. You're probably a bot anyway.

They are not going to give you that. The one guy in cape Breton got a fraction of the amount they said they would give for lowers. And his reasoning was the same for declaring, he couldn’t appeal after or anything and basically said he was lied to and ripped off so he’s warning everyone else about when the buyback comes to their province.

I agree with turning in stripped recivers if it's necessary, like with restricted. But definitely only stripped lol.

Hypothetically speaking when the government changes or the law changes I would do it again and buy twice as many lower. My biggest regret is that I didn't save up and buy something NR.

That’s so valid, I wouldn’t hate on someone for that.

u/DukeofNormandy Mar 21 '26

Jokes on them, mine legit got stolen and never recovered… yet I keep getting emails from RCMP requesting to turn them in. I wouldn’t have turned them in if I had them though.

destroy them and report it to your cfo.

u/thisghy Mar 20 '26

Only do so at the end of the deadline, boosting their numbers gives this program legitimacy.

u/OlMoldyLovesIsrael Mar 20 '26

Yup I wonder how busy those phones will be the before amnesty is up

2

u/AcanthisittaNo7338 Mar 20 '26

Well, i like the malicious compliance model more, turn in a completely stripped upper and lower, and nothing else. Though I don't have any restricted stuff I need to worry about.

u/OlMoldyLovesIsrael Mar 20 '26

I don’t want to boost their numbers. It seems to me the program won’t show the destroyed firearms. Just tell your cfos when you’ve destroyed your firearms

u/AcanthisittaNo7338 Mar 20 '26

Destroying stripped recivers to not pad numbers is actually a good idea too now that you mention it.
