Thread: Importing Firearms

Not really safety-related, but it seemed the closest to the topic.

How hard is the process of importing a firearm, really? The police website makes it seem like a simple matter of getting the right permit signed off, place your offshore order, and voila. But I can't believe it really is that simple, so I'm hoping there's someone else here who's done it and can shed a little real-world light for me.

Nothing dodgy, I've just seen something that I like and if I go through a NZ Dealer it'll take months and there'll be a fair bit of ticket-clipping along the way. Or, I can purchase direct and get it quite a bit quicker and cheaper (or so it seems)
