some more to add.. again this was allowed before. and its been made clear that the RCMP can't just change the law especially quietly.

Regarding bill C21.

"National "freeze" on handguns A national freeze on the sale, purchase or transfer of handguns by individuals within Canada, and bringing newly-acquired handguns into Canada came into force by regulations on October 21, 2022.Individuals can continue to possess and use their registered handguns and can sell or transfer their registered handguns to exempted individuals or businesses. Requests submitted by individuals before October 21, 2022 to transfer a handgun within Canada will continue to be processed."

Bill C21 puts a freeze on the Sale, Purchase or transfer of handguns.

So naturally you are still allowed to register firearms that you make at home.

you'll notice on form RCMP 5624 that there's a option for handguns "HG"

And if you look at the old version of the forum it said "RCMP GRC 5624e (2018-01-08) "

"A - Type of Acquisition Box 1Check only one box. "Newly manufactured" means a firearm that you have built or made. It does not mean a firearm that you have newly purchased from a firearms manufacturing or retail sales business. If you check "Other", print the details of your possession of the firearm in the space provided. If more explanation is needed, provide it on a separate sheet of paper, add your name and firearms licence number to the top of the sheet and attach the sheet to your application."

In today's version of the form it has the option for "Other" which is what one would use for homemade firearms. As well as "HG" for handguns.
