Hi Im new to this forum, and im sorry if this post is in the wrong area,has already been covered, or is just a really dumb question. But im interested in buying an AR-15 for target shooting i live in ontario and am wondering what i have to go through in order to own one, is an RPAL all thats required? Also what is the legal capacity for an AR-15 in canada

Thanks
 
Welcome to the Forums section.
Because this is your first post you'll probably get a lot of suspicious people wondering if your post is for some type of media BS.

If you are please go away. No one wants any mis informed self serving garbage articles based on hype and propaganda.

If not:
You'll need your RPAL. So yes the written test, the practical for safe firearms handling and the background check.

As for the AR-15 carbine magazine limit. It's 5 rounds. The AR-15 is semi auto only and since it's restricted you can't use it for hunting, although it's a very popular sporting firearm in the United States.

Good luck.
 
thanks for your help! also if there is a link to a list of guns im allowed to own and guns that are illigal once i have my RPAL i would appreciate it

by the way im not part of the media
 
AND.... You have to join a Club. Pass their the probationary period. If they accept you as a member they will apply for an ATT on your behalf so you can bring your Rifle to the range to target shoot it.

Signing up for Firearms safety course (booking a date - usually a wait when it gets close to hunting season)......
Pass exam.....
Send all your info to RCMP.....
Join Club and do probation.....
and if all goes well...after about 4-6 months you will have your ATT and you can bring your rifle to the range.
 
Don't let the bureaucracy scare you off. Be stubborn, get the paperwork and enjoy the sport with thousands of others. AR-15's are awesome.

If you use RIFLE magazines. ;) You are legally allowed to use magazines designed for the AR 15 pistol which hold 10 rounds in your AR 15 rifle.

This is something that I have been curious about for a long time.

Since the ATT was developed for handguns and here in Ontario you need to take a handgun safety course that is approved by your shooting club in order for them to apply for your ATT, do you still need to take that course if all you want the ATT for is a restricted rifle or carbine?

It was a moot point for me since I owned handguns before I owned restricted long guns.

ATT is for restricted firearms, regardless of whether they are handguns or not. And yes, to get an ATT you need to pass the club's safety course.
