Common questions

Is the Oerlikon KBA restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Oerlikon KBA (full automatic, chambered in 35x228, made in Switzerland) as Prohibited in Canada, under FRN 143896. 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 Oerlikon KBA?

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 143896?

FRN 143896 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Oerlikon KBA 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.
