Common questions
Is the Parker-Hale M81 African restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Parker-Hale M81 African (bolt action, chambered in .300 H&H Magnum, .308 Norma Magnum, .375 H&H Magnum and 1 more, made in United Kingdom) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 1816. 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 Parker-Hale M81 African?
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 1816?
FRN 1816 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Parker-Hale M81 African 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.
