Common questions
Is the Western Field 5 restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Western Field 5 (semi-automatic, chambered in .22 Long Rifle, made in France) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 23328. 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 Western Field 5?
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 23328?
FRN 23328 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Western Field 5 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.
