Is My Gun Banned in Canada? 2026 Prohibited Firearms Ban-Risk Index
A Holdover working estimate of how exposed each Canadian-market rifle is to the next round of prohibitions. Sortable, sourced, updated as the law moves.
A working estimate of how exposed a given Canadian-market rifle is to the next round of prohibitions. Sourced, transparent, opinionated, and updated as the law moves.
How do I know if my gun is banned in Canada? Start with the official SOR/2020-96, SOR/2024-248, and SOR/2025-86 lists, then confirm current FRT status and compensation-program eligibility. The Ban-Risk Index lets you search 1,000+ models by status and Holdover score; the Buyback Tracker follows deadlines and program updates.

This is editorial estimation, not legal advice. Every score is rounded to one of four bands — Low, Medium, High, Already Gone — and each entry breaks the score down across five 0–3 dimensions. Read how the score is calculated, see the source trail, or check the changelog for every score change since launch.
What this is
A scored database. Every commonly-asked-about rifle on the Canadian market gets its own URL, a published score, a verdict in Holdover voice, and a transparent breakdown of the five rubric dimensions used to arrive at the band. Cited sources at the bottom of every entry. Editorial overrides — when used — flagged explicitly on the score card.
What this is not
It is not the Firearms Reference Table. It is not Armalytics. It is not legal advice. It does not tell you what is prohibited; it tells you what we estimate is likely to be prohibited next, and why. For current classification status, consult RCMP, Public Safety Canada, and where appropriate, a Canadian firearms lawyer.
Safety note
The Ban-Risk Index is editorial estimation, not legal advice or a substitute for current official guidance. The classification field on each entry reflects current RCMP FRT status as of the entry's last-scored date. For any transfer, surrender, deactivation, or transport question, consult primary RCMP and Public Safety Canada sources and, where appropriate, a Canadian firearms lawyer.
