Thread: Laws regarding home builds?

Hey everyone,


Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, though I could not find a forum subsection for questions regarding the gunsmithing laws in NZ.
I'm an Australian considering moving to NZ, I am having trouble finding relevant information on what you guys can make here legally at home. I've seen many awesome projects like 410 DeLisle Carbine conversions, homemade suppressors, receivers made from scratch etc. Back here in Australia you can't even shorten your own barrel one centimetre or thread the muzzle without taking it to a gunsmith and getting them to do it so they can send the relevant paperwork to Police weapons licencing. From what I can see you only need a Dealer's licence if you are selling home made stuff commercially. Is this true? And what is the limit to what you can make/modify at home legally?

Kind regards,
Liam
