Common questions
Is the Norinco ML12-1Z restricted in Canada?
The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Norinco ML12-1Z (semi-automatic, chambered in 12 Gauge, made in China) as Non Restricted in Canada, under FRN 89475. 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 Norinco ML12-1Z?
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 89475?
FRN 89475 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Norinco ML12-1Z 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.
