Remington 7400
Used-market traditional semi-auto centre-fire; Medium because the risk is category breadth, not model-specific heat.
Is the Remington 7400 banned in Canada? Not currently. The Remington 7400 is Non-restricted, but it scores 4/15 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: Medium · Compensation: Not currently eligible · Amnesty: SCC appeals + 90 days
Verdict
The 7400 is no longer a new-production flagship, but it remains a working Canadian used-market rifle. That matters for the index because political exposure is not limited to current catalog items. The score is Medium for the same reason as the BAR and R1: semi-auto centre-fire action in a conventional hunting package. It has little tactical lineage, little current policy focus by name, and no obvious military-style furniture cue. A broad category rule would reach it; the current named-list pattern has not.
