Common questions

Is the FAMARS Castore restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the FAMARS Castore (multi-barrel, chambered in 12 Gauge, 20 Gauge, 28 Gauge and 1 more, made in Italy) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 120264. Classification attaches to the specific firearm rather than the model name, so variants with a different barrel length, overall length or action can carry a different class. Confirm the record matches the firearm in front of you, and verify with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before any transfer.

What licence do I need to buy a FAMARS Castore?

A valid non-restricted PAL, which the seller must verify before the firearm changes hands. No registration is required for individuals, and the firearm can be shipped by a carrier that accepts firearms.

What is FRN 120264?

FRN 120264 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this FAMARS Castore record in the Firearms Reference Table. Quoting the FRN is the unambiguous way to identify a firearm in a transfer, a registration or an import, because model names are reused across variants that are not classified alike.
