Thread: Cool Firearms That Are Now Legal

From a very relevant Wellington person today, within 48 hours of ‘the day’, Police presented this government with their long term arms act amendment wish list, hoping to get 60-70% of recommendations through.
They got 100%.

Anything in the coming tranche 2 is from the next wish list.

If anything else is added, it’s from the hundreds of import permits being issued for pump action, straight pull and various legal modifications that importers are quite entitled to bring in or what is being designed and manufactured locally.

Just an update, there's another 22 Magnum semi automatic on the market now. Rossi just released the RS22 WMR with a 10 shot mag and an MSRP of $262US, so it shouldn't be too expensive here, either.

Are there any AR style 22 Magnums?

Edit: just seen those British ones. Look like they have some potential.

You realise anything they ban further will have to be bought back? Have they really got the cash for that?

Yep and as Nash poo poo'd questions from the media on pistol restrictions at the time of the ban, apart from making a comment on a pistol chassis when shown one by the media (a gun city glock one with a drum mag from memory), and poo pood questions from stuff about 22 magnum semi auto's being banned (which the Police also poo poo'd) I would be surprised if they went after pistol magazines.

You never know though....

no but that hasn't stopped them yet. Hundreds of Kiwis are not getting cancer treatments promptly or not best available because of cost and yet a shit ton of money was found overnight for something that will have almost zero effect on anything apart from making politicians feel good.

Pulled the funds from kiwibuild no? Surely they wouldn't do a thing like that.

Double post.

Here's another really cool example, the Chiappa RAK-22.
It's a 22 AK clone that is built in Romania.
It looks and handles almost identically to a real AK and is only slightly lighter.
Gun City has them for $1500. They sell in the States for around $400USD, so you should be paying $900ish at most here.
Probably contact 55SIX or Burley Arms if you want a decent deal on one. These are arguably the best of the 22 AKs.

See Cahill just came out saying he wants to get rid of “Assault weapons from the community”! in a no herald article on the second T going through parliament. Article is in the National back tracking thread near the end.
