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.

The phone staff were pretty on point with helping or directly me to who I actually needed to speak with.

Since when are clips used to hold ammo part of a gun. Clips do not require a permit but mags do

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.

Yea I thought that was the case as well but asked and was directed to fill in the paperwork after providing details. Annoying but thought it would be easier dealing with it upfront than getting a confused/clueless customs officer holding things.

Amanda at Gunworks said to me you need a permit to courier a barrel. The rifling make it a gun part and it not a triggering event. I drop the application at Local Police at 11 am this morning. Approved at 12:05. Happy times.

Do you know if a chamber and threaded barrel a triggering event?

Two AO’s advised an R8 barrel I purchased wasn’t a triggering event.

However a Police Mail ordering form if required would’ve been.

Not sure mate. Mine is a blank barrel with not serial number on it. A chambered and threaded barrel have a serial number so that might be different.

What chambered and threaded barrels have a serial number?
None of my chambered and threaded barrels have serial numbers apart from the ones attached to a receiver, but it is the receiver that has the serial number not the barrel.

So a shotgun barrel is sweet then. Hmmm haha

I sent and email to the FSA folks asking about shipping a barrel (a pre-fit but not attached to a rifle) and shipping a rifle away for a re-barrel.
In both instances they said it was not an activating event.
