Agreed, just curious how you did yours. As sometimes Dan stops the import for verification. Therefore I find it easier with my AO to tell him what I'm buying first before it gets stop at Customs.Quote:

Except it take 6-8 weeks to get a permit and siezed goods are destroyed in 28 days, been there, tried thatQuote:

is all that is needed, I am a fit and proper person after all,
that and they don't give permits for A-cat parts, (unless its the action? and lower receiver?)Quote:

OK so I ordered an RRA 2 stage trigger from Brownells which has been sent. Didnt think about permits so I just ordered it.
I looked online on the police website and it seems to indicate I dont need a permit as its not a complete lower action.
I phoned my local AO and they said I do. WTF????
Should I bother going through the process? Seems a bit late now anyway.
Or should it be OK?
Anyone run into problems bringing in triggers?
You could ask your AO to issue one if you're worried. Chances are Customs will just ask if it's for an A cat.
Cheers for that. I'll just cross my fingers.
Sometimes buying in nz has its advantages
If it is for an 'A' Category AR, it does not require an import permit.Quote:

Reference: NZ Police Arms Forms Webpage
Just email the Customs Arms Officer at Arms.Officer@customs.govt.nz and inform them it is for an 'A' Category firearm, and as such does not require an import permit. Give them the tracking number for reference. They may want a copy of your FAL, so just include it anyway. Minimises issues.
Awesome. Cheers
keep an eye on on NZpost tracking (once brownells supply you with a tracking #), you will know if its been held,Quote:

You lucky bugger. I have just purchased one from Ken. Cant wait to try it out. The owner of Hyperfire lives in NZ?!Quote:

I have a 7.62x39 AR and it would not fire wollf, barnal or norinco with either a timmny or elfmann triggers. The milspec std works fine.
Nah, not NZ. My friend lives just on the northern outskirts of Minneapolis, Minnesota.Quote:

Yes, one of the ways to get a light trigger is to use a light hammer spring. Hiperfire have a better rep than most and as grunzter says they come with a range of springs so you can tune to suit.Quote:
