Common questions

Is the Browning BLR 81 restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Browning BLR 81 (lever action, chambered in .22-250 Remington, .222 Remington, .223 Remington and 10 more, made in Japan) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 37402. 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 Browning BLR 81?

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 37402?

FRN 37402 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Browning BLR 81 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.
