** The Always Growing List. Stay Up To Date.

Has your firearm made the “prohibited” or ban list yet?
Firearms are continuously being added to the ban list.
Armalytics offers up to date information regarding newly classified firearms.
“Armalytics provides users with the ability to explore and track the public version of the Canadian Firearms Reference Table.
Data is sourced from the Firearms Reference Table (Public Version) as authored by the RCMP and made available on their website. Updates to the RCMP document are usually reflected on armalytics.ca within 4hr and tagged with the Valid As Of Date property.
Armalytics strives to provide the most accurate information possible however data extraction from PDFs is not perfect. That being said we estimate that 99.6% of the Firearm Reference Number records contained on the site are both accurate and complete.”
** Shipping & Receiving Challenges

CSAAA is working hard to rectify our challenges with shipping and receiving ammunition and firearms. Please stay tuned as we will offer updates as soon as we can.
