Thread: Firearm Registry Data Questions and Answers

Or because it is not directly related to the operation of firing, is it not?

I just got off the phone to "My Firearms Support" and now have it in writing that a suppressor purchase will NOT start the registry. Maybe worth a call to check on the stock situation too? Can never be too careful with this I believe.

This is not a grey area, if you read the definition of firearm items in relation to the register, it says exactly what parts need to be registered.
