Common questions

Is the Westley Richards 1861 Breechloading restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Westley Richards 1861 Breechloading (single-shot, chambered in .45 Percussion, made in United Kingdom) as Antique in Canada, under FRN 76375. 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 Westley Richards 1861 Breechloading?

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 76375?

FRN 76375 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Westley Richards 1861 Breechloading 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.
