Common questions

Is the Mauser 1903 Siamese Type 45 RS restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Mauser 1903 Siamese Type 45 RS (bolt action, chambered in 257x54R Wildcat, .308 Winchester, .350 Remington Magnum and 5 more, made in Japan) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 1605. 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 Mauser 1903 Siamese Type 45 RS?

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 1605?

FRN 1605 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Mauser 1903 Siamese Type 45 RS 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.
