Is the Thompson/Center Percussion Rifle restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Thompson/Center Percussion Rifle (single-shot, chambered in .32 Percussion, .36 Percussion, .45 Percussion and 3 more, made in United States of America) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 71291. 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 Thompson/Center Percussion Rifle?
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 71291?
FRN 71291 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Thompson/Center Percussion Rifle 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.
