New FRT Lookup Tool

[SpectreBallistics]

Hey CGN,

Over the weekend, as a personal project, we made a new website to look up FRTs: https://gunlink.ca/

The site ingests the 108,000 page PDF published by the CFP and makes it searchable.

Do not rely on this information as a legal or authoritative source — consult the official RCMP Firearms Reference Table for authoritative information.

For the fellow nerds, here's my source code for parsing the PDF: https://github.com/alkalifeldspar/Frt-Parse
It takes an hour and a bit to process the PDF into a MySql DB.

How does this differ from Armalytics?

How does this differ from Armalytics?

Same idea. Big difference is the ability to directly link to a frt: https://gunlink.ca/detail.php?frn=197700

More just a fun project on a rainy Sunday.

Nice work ! That link should be a sticky somewhere.

Tried it. Very slick.

You’ve got some smart cookies over there.

Someone sticky this.

Armalytics has direct link/download too, it's the small little arrow on the firearm description page in the top right hand corner.

Thank for your project & adding to the space.

Even if this provides all the same info and features as armalytics simply having two sources online is a great service to provide.
