Common questions
Is the Lee-Enfield No 1 Shortened and Lightened Experimental (Australian) restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Lee-Enfield No 1 Shortened and Lightened Experimental (Australian) (bolt action, chambered in .303 British, made in Australia) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 698.

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 No 1 Shortened and Lightened Experimental (Australian)?
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 698?
FRN 698 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Lee-Enfield No 1 Shortened and Lightened Experimental (Australian) 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.
