Common questions

Is the French Service 1842 Rifle-Musket restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the French Service 1842 Rifle-Musket (single-shot, chambered in 18mm Percussion, made in France) as Antique in Canada, under FRN 136096. 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 French Service 1842 Rifle-Musket?

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 136096?

FRN 136096 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this French Service 1842 Rifle-Musket 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.
