Is the Adler Rf224 Tactical 22 LR 11.7″ Semi-Auto Rifle Distress White banned in Canada? Not currently. The Adler Rf224 Tactical 22 LR 11.7″ Semi-Auto Rifle Distress White is Non-restricted, but it scores 8/15 on the Holdover Ban-Risk Index. It is not currently eligible for compensation. The current amnesty for prohibited firearms expires 90 days after the latest Supreme Court appeal termination under SOR/2026-114.

Classification: Non-restricted · OIC/SOR: FRT · Ban-Risk: High · Compensation: Not currently eligible · Amnesty: SCC appeals + 90 days

Verdict

Adler Rf224 Tactical 22 LR 11.7″ Semi-Auto Rifle Distress White is a rimfire entry, so the score does not treat it like a centre-fire service rifle. The higher risk comes from presentation: current listing visibility, semi-automatic operation, and tactical or trainer-style furniture. Recent Canadian list-making has repeatedly mixed function with silhouette, which is why this stays on the High watch shelf rather than being treated like a plain plinking rifle.
