Antique Firearm Status Determination Flowchart

O May, here is my question.
Is an original Colt Model 1860 Army Percussion Revolver manufactured in the 1871 in .44 Colt Centre Fire with a "Richards"conversion now for sure be considered by the RCMP as a "Antique" and can this Revolver be imported from the USA into Canada.

All Good Guys having imported lately "Antique" Revolvers from the US to Canada, please be so kind and state your opinion.
Thanks - K.
 
Hello trying to learn the ins and out. I am From the US (NY) but collect British firearms.

based on the chart I think an webley mki or mkII or mkIII should be an antique. In 455 webley. Cartridge Not on the list?

Also what about black powder cartridges verses smokeless. Early enfield fired .303 mki black powder in Metford rifling I am rebuilding an 1891 mkI* that I need parts for a rebuild effort and may be able to find a donor in Canada ?

Also there are various 303 wildcat chamberings. Would an 1896 enfield convert in one of these calibers be exempted based on date and cartridge not on the list?

I also would like to know status of a serialized enfield action dated 1897?

Are parts like magazines, triggers, barrels regulated, or just free to buy in Canada?

Also can antiques be mailed in Canada to the USA?

Many thanks
Michael
 
Dates - 1897 or earlier in Canada, 1898 in the US. One year different.
In Canada - no centerfire repeating rifle has antique status.
Single shot centerfire rifles over 8.3mm may be antique, if made 1897 or earlier. So no .303 rifle has antique status, single shot or repeating.
Webley Mk. I and II revolvers in .455 are antique. Mk. III revolvers were made before and after 1897, so some are antique, some aren't. You have to be able to prove it.
For domestic transfer, a PAL is required to obtain magazines and barrels.
Can't help you with export. I do not think the Mail can be used.
