Thread: Police permits

Police permits not required to courier a bare barrel blank???
Aramex said no you do need one. So if you do is that no a triggering even or not? All very confusing.

A bare, barrel blank surely, is just that.
Until it has been threaded to fit the receiver/action and reamed with a chamber for whatever cartridge is proposed, then it really is only a precision machined steel tube.
There is no need to describe it as a barrel.

Call it a barrel, and it seems Aramex wants to get in your way. A steel tube for engineering supplies - not a problem.

Under section 73(a) of the Arms Act, couriers (carriers) are exempt from the requirements to hold a firearms licence when transporting firearms. The onus is on the customer (seller) to ensure they comply with all legislative requirements pertaining to the sale of firearms and associated products within New Zealand including confirmation that the buyer has a current firearms license.
