Common questions
Is the Mosin-Nagant 1891 restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Mosin-Nagant 1891 (bolt action, chambered in .30-06 Springfield, 7.62x54R Russian, made in United States of America) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 1687. 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 Mosin-Nagant 1891?
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 1687?
FRN 1687 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Mosin-Nagant 1891 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.
