The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Heckler & Koch HK601 (semi-automatic, chambered in .222 Remington, made in Germany) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 121502. 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 Heckler & Koch HK601?

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.

What is FRN 121502?

FRN 121502 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Heckler & Koch HK601 record in the Firearms Reference Table.
