Common questions

Is the Thompson Machine ARSSL restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Thompson Machine ARSSL (single-shot, chambered in .50 BMG, made in United States of America) as Prohibited in Canada, under FRN 131671. 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 Thompson Machine ARSSL?

Prohibited firearms cannot be acquired by ordinary licence holders. Transfers are limited to holders of the matching grandfathering, and the newer prohibition orders came with a buyback rather than a transfer path. Confirm the position with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before going any further.

What is FRN 131671?

FRN 131671 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Thompson Machine ARSSL 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.
