Common questions
Is the Mauser 1938 Swedish Short Rifle restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Mauser 1938 Swedish Short Rifle (bolt action, chambered in .22 Long Rifle, .22-250 Remington, .243 Winchester and 5 more, made in Sweden) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 2508. 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 Mauser 1938 Swedish Short Rifle?
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 2508?
FRN 2508 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Mauser 1938 Swedish Short Rifle 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.
