Is the Ballard No 4 restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Ballard No 4 (single-shot, chambered in .32-20 Winchester, .32-40 Winchester, .38-50 Ballard and 7 more, made in United States of America) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 86. 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 Ballard No 4?
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 86?
FRN 86 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Ballard No 4 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.
