Remington R-15 in Canada?

Question

Is this rifle legal to use in Canada for hunting?

Answer 1

nope its semi auto

Answer 2

Don't listen to gunsrfun, he is just a moron. As long as it is within length laws and has a <4 round magazine, you can use it. Just because it is legal doesn't mean that someone won't try to charge you though, so you may want to shy away from that model.

EDIT: My mistake, I thought it was legal but was wrong.

Answer 3

No it is not legal to use in Canada for hunting.

You can not hunt with a restricted firearm in Canada.   You cannot get an ATT for purposes of hunting or self-protection for a restricted weapon.

AR15 variants are at a minimum restricted firearms.   This is independent of barrel length because it is called out by name.  

"Firearms Prescribed as Restricted:

This list of restricted firearms specified in the December 1, 1998 Criminal Code regulations includes all firearms that have been restricted by a former Order in Council.

• The firearm of the design commonly known as the M-16 rifle, and any variant or modified version of it including the:   Colt AR-15; "

You would need a Possession and Acquisition Licence,  a Firearm Registration Certificate, and a  Authorization to Transport.



You must pass both the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Exam and the Canadian Firearms Safety Exam. If you completed the old Canadian Firearms Safety Exam (the full one which included long guns and handguns) between 1993-1999, you will not have to write the current exams. The fee for this licence is $80 for five years. These licences are available to Americans (or any foreigner) but they must meet the same conditions as Canadian citizens.

A transport permit is required to transport a restricted firearm from the location where the firearm is registered.
