The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Higgins, J C 45 (lever action, chambered in .30-30 Winchester, .35 Remington, made in United States of America) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 55797.

FRN 55797 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Higgins, J C 45 record in the Firearms Reference Table.
