Common questions

Is the Colt AR15 Model 08 restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Colt AR15 Model 08 (converted automatic, chambered in .223 Remington, 5.56mm NATO, made in United States of America) as Prohibited in Canada, under FRN 34648. 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 Colt AR15 Model 08?

Prohibited firearms cannot be acquired by ordinary licence holders. Transfers are limited to holders of the matching grandfathering, and the newer prohibition orders came with a buyback rather than a transfer path. Confirm the position with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before going any further.

What is FRN 34648?

FRN 34648 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Colt AR15 Model 08 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.
