Misc Moving to USA - Options on Handguns

We are moving to the USA and I have filed a atf form 6 to bring most of my firearms. They accepted most but two hand guns and the AR and one Winchester SXP of all things! What are my options I obviously don’t want to turn them in. Is there a way to sell those handguns in Canada before we go?

Can you strip all the parts and take them with you? Then just buy a frame in the US and rebuild your pistol(s)? You can destroy the gun portion (usually the frame but it depends) and just report it to the RCMP as destroyed.

Appreciate this suggestion I will check on the ATF side.

Clearly NAL, but if it's not a gun by the US and Canadian legal definition then you would not have to declare it as a gun when crossing the border. It would be just metal parts .

What is considered to be a gun can be complicated. I've used irunguns in the past to navigate the legal channels. If you can afford the fees it's a great service.

Thank you for this! Ironically enough I did call them about the Sfp9 and ar.
