This whole thing is just off the Richter scale of stupidity.
I asked politely at the AO office about this 'hand in' and was told that this is new policy.
Not wanting to get into a robust discussion in the Police Station about how this is ultra vires and no where is it in the Arms Act I left it at that.
I'll just shift A-cat parts I already own into the E-Cat rifle and buy new replacement parts for the A-Cat locally, no permit or bullsh*t hand in required.
PS, instead of also handing in my import permit notification form for some MSSA mags (no 'hand in' was required for those) then, I purposely went to another station and asked them to send that via internal mail, so they get to waste more time paper pushing.
