No discounts / deals on ammo and firearms for brand partners - you can't even use Farmlands vouchers to purchase them! Apparently not enough margin in it to give permanent discounts. Other hunting supplies is a different story.

So you are too lazy to search the govt and police websites to check what i am telling you, (even after i posted a snip from the regulations), and since i didnt post a link to the snip i posted, therefore what i am saying must be incorrect. Words fail me.

HOWEVER, (there is always a however,) conditions apply as to the type and, dare I say it, method and location of their application.

Well if that's the case I see the end of ammo etc in stores who only have a small section handling it, local appliance store is in that situation.

Back on topic - popped in to local Farmlands this morning to grab a few boxes of 223. Fiocchi USA 55sp 50-packs at 78c/round at the clearance prices. Hard to beat that anywhere else..

Shelves were emptying pretty quick, so don’t waste time if you’re after anything.

Still had a bit of 222, 308, 7-08, 22mag, 22, plenty of shotgun, various other stuff..

Staffer agreed with my comment of ‘strangulation by red tape’ and described the situation as ridiculous.

I was pleasantly surprised when we moved down here to discover you can buy ammunition at the wee local Postshop but even he's knocking it on the head soon as he did it pretty much as a favour to locals and being the closest shop to the blue mountains blocks.

WHO made up that ‘rule’ that they have to have a ‘compliant safe at their home’? - and why??

Ammunition
New provisions relating to the sales, purchase and possession of ammunition become effective in December 2020.

Ammunition Possession
Ammunition Sellers


From December 2020 any person who is managing a business that includes the sale or supply of ammunition and who is not the holder of a dealer’s licence needs to be recognised by Police as an ammunition seller.

That means the person must have a current firearms licence, and apply to Police if they wish to start or continue a business as an ammunition seller. This is so Police can verify the person’s security – such as appropriate facilities to ensure the secure storage of the ammunition – and record keeping arrangements are satisfactory.

An ammunition book must be kept by the seller / supplier of ammunition to record the name and licence number of the purchaser / receiver and the quantity and type of ammunition (s22D). Records must be retained for 10 years after the last transaction in the book (be it physical or electronic).

An ammunition seller’s records and stock can be inspected at any reasonable time subject to Police giving seven days’ notice (s22D).

So if you belong to a club that buys in bulk to pass the savings on to its members your committee just got a shit more work to do

Records to be kept for 10 yrs? That’s worse than the IRD, and manually FFS, everything else is on the cloud!!

Just popped down to local Farmlands store picked some ammo ..
Going fast at a good price

Farmlands WANGANUI

No stock as they say they have never sold ammunition.

My two local Farmlands branches have never had much of a selection of ammo, usually just some .22lr (which has been out of stock for months), a bit of 12g turns up in April and a couple of packets of Winchester 7mm08.

OK i was in gisborne farmlands today and there was still a bit of 7mm08,308,270,243,a few 22-250 and 223. Also shotgun ammo.
