Common questions

Is the Lee-Enfield Sporter restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Lee-Enfield Sporter (bolt action, chambered in .219 Ackley Zipper, .219 Zipper, .22 Hornet and 19 more, made in Unknown) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 71210. 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 Sporter?

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 71210?

FRN 71210 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Lee-Enfield Sporter 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.
