Common questions
Is the Bayard Half Automatic restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Bayard Half Automatic (single-shot, chambered in .22 Short, made in Belgium) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 121308. 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 Bayard Half Automatic?
A restricted PAL, and the firearm must be registered to you before you take possession. Transport generally requires an authorization to transport, and if this is a handgun the October 2022 transfer freeze applies to most transfers between individuals.
