Is the Lahti L-35 restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Lahti L-35 (semi-automatic, chambered in 9mm Luger, made in Finland) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 20490. 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 Lahti L-35?
A restricted PAL, and the firearm must be registered to you before you take possession. Transport generally requires an authorization to transport, and if this is a handgun the October 2022 transfer freeze applies to most transfers between individuals.
What is FRN 20490?
FRN 20490 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Lahti L-35 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.
