Thread: Importing a .338 or 50cal

Although your firearm* is bolt action *and generally covered in the generic family of bolt action* Accuracy International firearms on the approved list , there are special conditions of import required for a firearm of this calibre.

*

This import application can only be approved by Police National Headquarters in Wellington *as they have ordered that all .338 - .50 Cal range firearms are only approved by them.

*

You require a special reason for import,* and to nominate the club you are a member of , proof that you are a financial member* and a regular attendee, and a copy of the range certificate from the club to prove their range is certified for that calibre.

*

This you can discuss in more detail with your Arms Officer when you are back in NZ and applying for the import application.*

So these are the steps before you.

Was your arms officer a woman?

I'm mindful of when I went into my local arms office, as I wanted an S43A form to purchase an A cat firearm from a different city here in New Zealand (they had just imported it for me and had it in store already) and the arms officer I struck was a woman. She marched me upstairs into the interview/interrogation room, in front of the video camera (don't know if it was on or not) and pulled a book off the shelf, threw it on the table and said "here read this. If the firearm you're after isn't listed in there, then you're not allowed it!" (and about that abruptly too!) Well, I read it, and guess what, the firearm I was after (a Volquartsen 10 shot semiautomatic 17 HMR) was not listed in there!

I managed to get onto a man cop and the form was expedited to me promptly, by patrol car, "hand delivered to me personally, at my address"!

You see, women lack the ability to use discretion, and therefore, automatically default to the book, and WHAT A BOOK THEY HAVE!

Unfortunately this was a male arms officer. My usual one is a woman and generally pretty good

As clickbang said; the head of the Dunedin arms office is a woman and she's good to deal with.
You come across as a bloke that hasn't gotten any action in a while mate....

Go back to the dark ages you misogynistic fool, you're wrong and you're making the rest of us look bad for tolerating this kind of crap

If you don't think its a load of crap to say that "women lack the ability to use discretion", then I don't know what you think crap is.

He dealt with a crap police staff member who was a woman, thats his experience and no issue with that. Claiming all women are like that just makes him look like an idiot.

Really dude? Your reading comprehension is really crap if you didn't pick up what the issue was. Set your clock back 300 years - you may feel more at home.
