The change that you might be referring to, is that a pistol grip on an AR15 now makes the firearm a MSSA (a NZ term for Military Style Semi Automatic) which is classed as an E Category firearm.

Unlike Canadian Restricted Classed firearms, unless specifically mentioned on a licensees endorsement, there is no restrictions on where an owner may legally use an E category firearm.
