Thread: How to get rid of an old stock?

I've got a couple of those 'stock' stocks you get when you buy a rifle and then want to ditch ASAP. A Howa and a Remington, both bendy plastic things. Since I can't even give them away without police paperwork, I'm guessing dumping them at the tip is not OK. Do I need to cut them in half or something?

Put them in the free column on this site.

If they had to be gone asap I would cut into bits and throw.

What action size is the Howa?

Short action Steve 123

Take them to the police station and ask them to dispose of them.

Nah you can surrender parts firearms or old ammo for destruction
I once took a big box of random ammo reject’s from probably 10 years of shooting
All sorts of random stuff nothing untoward just hunting ammo
It was no worries

I was talking to a mate who was at the time working out of our local station
I told him id been in to drop it off
He then called be name’s because he was the one who had to sort it
Apparently it has to be sorted into caliber’s and then would have been 50 odd caliber’s in the box
So if i should ever need to do it again touch wood I won’t

Id sort it for them as it is a bit of a time consuming process and they definitely have more important things to do

Just do a pickup only on here or trade me.

Doubt it, you can surrender any firearm or parts to the police that you want.

This clause says that destruction of any firearm part needs to be reported to the Police. https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/...LMS368602.html

If you don’t want a firearm anymore you are perfectly entitle to take it to the Police and surrender it. Now that stocks are legally firearms parts the same thing will apply.

Ignoring the technicality, I was being facetious in case you didn't spot it. My comment was aimed at the priority issues- cops have 1000X more important things to deal with that than sorta crap. It's a bit like reporting someone you spotted smoking electric puha.

Not any part. Only actual firearms and restricted parts/mags etc
A stock is a lump of wood

God I'm getting old and late on shit

Do we seriously need a Police permit to move a stock around this country.?

@YosemiteSam I'd take the Howa stock off your hands if you don't want it. As long as you are happy for me to swing by and pick it up.
