Common questions
Is the GIAT M781 restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the GIAT M781 (full automatic, chambered in 30x113B, made in France) as Prohibited in Canada, under FRN 16030. 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 GIAT M781?
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 16030?
FRN 16030 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this GIAT M781 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.
