    (When they say the rifle has to be transferred to the Gunsmith's dealer license after 30 days (or anybody you may have lent your rifle to) they are talking in the context of both parties being registered already.)
    You are mistaken, there is an allowance in the arms act for temporary transfer. As long as we hand your firearm back with 30 days, you are not required to register it.
