Apart from being dicked around the first time because I have lived at my current address for 4 years but the police had never came to recheck my security, I find it really quick and easy as long as you have the other persons details.
The last one I did I even rocked up to the little local police station here in Culverden, I had the form printed allready and filled it all out, local cop took a look, signed it and fired it off through email to the arms officer in chch straight away, I find it very hard to believe that they would use snail mail to send them to an arms officer in this day and age. All in all a pretty easy painless process, took up all of about twenty minutes of my time from the time I printed the form, till the time the local officer had fired it away to the arms officer.
I have traditionally always only looked at buying/selling rifles locally, or within the confines of the south island because I had been put off by people saying how its such a painfull process, but its easy as, has opened up a whole new world of stuff I could possibly blow money on! haha
