In this paper we discuss the relationship between local properties such as freeness and projectivity of a group and the freeness or projectivity of its pro-C-completion. We show that for certain classes, C, of finite groups (e.g. p-groups, nilpotent groups, super-solvable groups) the pro-C-completion of a locally free pro-C-group is a free pro-C-group. We also show that under certain circumstances the converse is also true but we leave open the question, for example, of whether a locally free pro-p-group is free.
