Confusion
You hit it right on the head. Milling a slot is part of the Brit deactivation and is excellent. As a matter of fact their deac. is the best as it only invoves milling and is not seen when completed.
RCMP and OPP are quite different. Since I report to OPP I adhere strictly to their guidelines. In the "Old Days" Police Firearms Departments could let Museums visit and would turn over
neat items to them. This, of course, has now been deleted.
In their defence OPP has been good to our Museum and made available Three incredibly scarce 1865 period seizures that they could have easily destroyed. MLU members should be aware that the firearms departments of individual forces no longer have access to donated weapons. They are given a property receipt at the desk and sent directly for examination, then destruction.
