Common questions

Is the Lakefield/Mossberg 500C restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Lakefield/Mossberg 500C (pump action, chambered in 20 Gauge, made in Canada) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 557. 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 Lakefield/Mossberg 500C?

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 557?

FRN 557 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Lakefield/Mossberg 500C 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.
