And write 'under duress' under the signature.

Its all most worth while travelling to the wholesalers and buying the upper and lowers and what ever other parts one needs to avoid the hassell from NZP.
Wholesalers are getting the same treatement too.
Also while it's good to support local I also like to keep my own family fed so being able to bypass suppliers and some of their horrendous mark ups is important to me.
Also Wholesalers don't always have what one wants.
I asked around, and a mate asked a few police contacts what the deal was. The story is that the bit of paper that people are being asked to sign is a declaration of sorts that it's not an E firearm at the time of sale. Apparently they have had a few people incorrectly using a S43A form instead of a 67X as they are supposed to. This is what I'm told anyway.
Has anyone actually got a copy or image of this magic bit of paper? That would clear things up pretty quick I suspect
The only bit of paper i signed was a letter I wrote up myself saying the lower wouldn't be used in an E cat configuration. The police themselves never provided any paperwork to me, just held onto the police mail order form while they contacted national HQ and until they decided they wanted my safe rechecked and said the paperwork wouldn't be sent ahead unless i signed the letter as well as agreeing to take the rifle in to be checked (as if i couldn't just put an E cat stock on at home and change it when i went in there?) once completed. It really just seems like they don't know what they are talking about, which is disappointing and frustrating.
When I done my last form it only went to my AO (although it was only for 3k rounds of ammo).
Also guarantee you if your form was for ammo, or a bolt action or any other semi that wasn't an AR they wouldn't be interested in checking your safe.
This is pretty much AR15 discrimination.
Its not happening in all areas. I ordered a stripped AR upper and lower from Digit last month. Went down to the Cambridge Police station and filled out the form. No dramas whatsoever. Maybe some over zealous AOs??
Watching very closely! Please keep us updated! If there's a petition going around I'm sure we would all be glad to sign it!

I'm almost of a mind to buy myself another stripped lower just so I can observe this firsthand. I could just go down and get the form without even intending to buy one I suppose.
Nothing create gun sales like gun control. I didn't buy an AR because I needed one, I brought one cos they look cool and you might not always be able to own one. I missed out on the A cat pistol grip era so was determined to join the club while I still can.
Now I have the urge to build another...
Makes four:)
Because of all of this drama of my A-Cat AR build, I'm going to build another pimped out E now, just because I can. :P
