    Minimum legal barrel length and overall length for firearms

    Hi guys,

    I just wanted your advice on whether there exists any current legislation in New Zealand relating to the minimum barrel length for either rifles, pistols or shotguns and OAL for shotguns? Having looked into this, all the information that I can find is that a pistol is defined in part as having an OAL of less than 762mm and a rifle as more than 762mm, but nothing specific to barrel length - and nothing at all relating to shotguns. Any advice you could offer would be gratefully received.


    Cheers,

    A.J.P.
