Common questions
Is the SAKO A I restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the SAKO A I (bolt action, chambered in .17 Remington, .17-222, .22 BR and 6 more, made in Finland) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 44044. 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 SAKO A I?
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 44044?
FRN 44044 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this SAKO A I 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.
