That's been in the Arms Act forever

Im in the retail side of things and had not heard of any lobbying going on.

Do riflescopes count as firearm parts?

No, well they never used too. I cant open up the Customs link so cant check (Dial up speed -yipee). Parts are basically the bits that are needed to make a firearm go bang eg barrel,, trigger group, receiver, bolt etc. Add on equipment like mounts, scopes and stocks are/or were classed as accessories (in regards to "A" Cat rifles).

Its a shame when the Govt restricts the law abiding more and more. But I guess its easier than tackling the crims and restricting the unlawful.

Cheers.
