Common questions
Is the Weatherby Vanguard 2 Blaze restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Weatherby Vanguard 2 Blaze (bolt action, chambered in .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, .270 Winchester and 2 more, made in Japan) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 146402. 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 Weatherby Vanguard 2 Blaze?
A valid non-restricted PAL, which the seller must verify before the firearm changes hands. No registration is required for individuals, and the firearm can be shipped by a carrier that accepts firearms.
What is FRN 146402?
FRN 146402 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Weatherby Vanguard 2 Blaze 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.
