Thread: Collecting Firearms from Aussie

Getting firearms out of Aussie is a pain in the butt! It used to be that dealers would deliver your gun to the airport on the day you leave but that has been knocked on the head. There are only two ways to get the rifle out of Aussie; it is formally exported by a dealer (possibly more paper work), or it is transferred to the licence of an Aussie who is coming over to NZ (more paper work). The formal export is probably best as your application for a QLD licence will take some weeks at best, and months at worst. Australia is not a gun-friendly nation, and their border control people are frequently a special breed of arsehole!
