Common questions
Is the Smith, Gilbert 1857 Percussion Carbine restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Smith, Gilbert 1857 Percussion Carbine (single-shot, chambered in .50 Crispin Rimfire, .50 Percussion, made in United States of America) as Antique in Canada, under FRN 70574. 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 Smith, Gilbert 1857 Percussion Carbine?
Prohibited firearms cannot be acquired by ordinary licence holders. Transfers are limited to holders of the matching grandfathering, and the newer prohibition orders came with a buyback rather than a transfer path. Confirm the position with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before going any further.
What is FRN 70574?
FRN 70574 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Smith, Gilbert 1857 Percussion Carbine record in the Firearms Reference Table.
