Common questions

Is the Browning Machine Gun M1919 Wz33 restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Browning Machine Gun M1919 Wz33 (full automatic, chambered in 8mm Mauser, made in Poland) as Prohibited in Canada, under FRN 145239. 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 Browning Machine Gun M1919 Wz33?

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 145239?

FRN 145239 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Browning Machine Gun M1919 Wz33 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.
