Common questions

Is the DPMS A-15 Panther Hunter restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the DPMS A-15 Panther Hunter (semi-automatic, chambered in 6.8mm SPC, made in United States of America) as Prohibited in Canada, under FRN 135119. 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 DPMS A-15 Panther Hunter?

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 135119?

FRN 135119 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this DPMS A-15 Panther Hunter 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.
