    Speaking of gunsmith challenge. Anyone used aluminium stick welding rods on their AR mag wells?
    An itch ... is ... a desire to scratch

    the challenge will be finding an ar to do it on after everyone has handed them all in plus I bet after all this is done if you all of a sudden appeared with one in any configuration youd get it taken off you anyway wouldn't it be easier to get yourself a howa mini

    Wait till the law comes out. Mags can be shortened with a bit of TLC and a dremel. I'd never hand in a 30 rd mag if I can repurpose it as a 5-rd mag plus a bit of spare mag spring.

    From the police website:

    Can I modify my firearm that has been reclassified so it is lawful?

    No.

    I think we all know the police website isn't the correct place to get the actual facts about the new ban, they are still saying pump shotguns are going to be banned arnt they. I noticed the NZDA are now saying pump shotguns are to be banned as well.
