Common questions

Is the Hopkins & Allen Falling Block Shotgun restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Hopkins & Allen Falling Block Shotgun (single-shot, chambered in 12 Gauge, 16 Gauge, 20 Gauge and 2 more, made in United States of America) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 37069. 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 Hopkins & Allen Falling Block Shotgun?

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 37069?

FRN 37069 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Hopkins & Allen Falling Block Shotgun 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.
