Common questions
Is the Winchester 88 restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Winchester 88 (lever action, chambered in .243 Winchester, .260 Remington, .284 Winchester and 2 more, made in United States of America) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 2771. 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 Winchester 88?
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 2771?
FRN 2771 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Winchester 88 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.
