Common questions

Is the Recoilless Rifle M40A1 restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Recoilless Rifle M40A1 (single-shot, chambered in 105mm Recoilless, made in Spain) as Prohibited in Canada, under FRN 164727. 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 Recoilless Rifle M40A1?

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 164727?

FRN 164727 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Recoilless Rifle M40A1 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.
