To purchase Category C firearms subject to registration, the buyer must provide a valid ID and a valid hunting license for the current year (or the previous year), or a valid shooting license (or one from the previous year). Category C firearms will only be issued after consulting the FINIADA database (National Registry of Persons Prohibited from Acquiring and Possessing Firearms). If the purchaser of a Category C firearm is listed in the FINIADA registry, the sale will automatically be void. Purchasers of Category C firearms must have a SIA account. Please obtain all necessary information before bidding.
