Common questions
Is the SBI Light Practical Carbine restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the SBI Light Practical Carbine (bolt action, chambered in .223 Remington, 5.56mm NATO, made in Canada) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 196978. 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 SBI Light Practical Carbine?
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 196978?
FRN 196978 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this SBI Light Practical Carbine 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.
