    I think the appropriate documentation would be of more benefit...
    GOod question about the visitors license, weird idea about the title
    Maybe the haka comment was just to try and solidify your support for the all blacks as the superior team

    I think the intent of the VFL http://www.police.govt.nz/service/fi..._to_import.pdf is clearly to cover visitors who bring firearms with them to the port of entry. It's not intended to be used as a Firearms Licence without the holder having brought in any firearms. I think you'll find you cannot effectively buy and sell a firearm with such a Licence during your stay, but you should contact the NZ Police to be sure.

    If you bring your UK firearms licence with you, you will be able to obtain a NZ Visitors licence and permit to import firearms. With this you will be able to buy a firearm but will need special endorsements for target pistols and military style semi's. You will have to satisfy the police that you have somewhere secure to store it when not in use.

    Yes, I've a M305 (synthetic) with iron sights. I found inserting the little 5 round magazine a little fiddly at first but once you've the hang of it, you'll be sweet. It's very easy to field strip as well.

    There are mixed opinions of the main purveyor of these firearms which is Gun City. In my personal experience I've found their staff to not be particularly knowledgeable about the products that they are selling. The M305 is supposed to come with a cleaning kit / combination tool set in the stock and confirmed this over the phone with them prior to collecting it.

    Upon arrival, the salesperson said that it didn't come with that (?) but he'd throw in a free sling. OK, great I thought, until I saw that the sling swivel was missing from the handguard which I and another salesman both pointed out, yet he continued to go through the motions thinking that he was somehow going to be able to attach the sling

    Long story short, what should have been a 5 minute transaction turned into a 10-15 minute wait while they rectified the sling issue. The rifle itself however is cost-effective, fun to shoot and reasonably accurate.
