Common questions
Is the Howa 1500 Carbon Stalker restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Howa 1500 Carbon Stalker (bolt action, chambered in .223 Remington, .270 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum and 10 more, made in Japan) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 197839. 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 Howa 1500 Carbon Stalker?
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 197839?
FRN 197839 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Howa 1500 Carbon Stalker 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.
