Common questions

Is the Lee-Enfield L8A1 restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Lee-Enfield L8A1 (bolt action, chambered in 7.62mm NATO, made in United Kingdom) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 619. 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 Lee-Enfield L8A1?

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 619?

FRN 619 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Lee-Enfield L8A1 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.
