Official Information Notice
Classification data on Legal Steel is sourced from the RCMP Firearms Reference Table — an administrative document, not a legal instrument. The FRT reflects technical assessments by RCMP firearms experts to assist with firearm identification and classification, but the Criminal Code and the Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms (SOR/98-462) remain the prevailing legal authority. We reflect the FRT as published and do not modify or interpret classifications. Always consult official legislation for legal compliance.
