Reading that pamphlet it seems like you need to register details about your rifles such as whether or not it has a detachable magazine.

Imagine one day you swap from a floor plate to a detachable magazine or vice versa. Does the registry allow for detail changes? What if you forget to register that you made this extremely common modification to your rifle? When audited, do you suddenly become a criminal who is unfit to own firearms?

This will be fun.

Should I register it, or destroy it,

interesting point..it could in theory be made usable again so in theory is still a firearm...still be registered I would have thought...

That would be a major firearm part wouldn`t it?

I have another from the same person, a shitty .22, missing the bolt, I have yet another not mine, a 303, all matching numbers, but the barrel is rotated, someone didn’t clean it, about 20 years ago, this is for sale for parts, been cut down.

Ill be on there quickly as the shipment had been delayed meaning my new waypoint will arrive soon after it kicks into effect

Here's a pic of the advertisement

Just depends on your definition of manufacturing ammunition I suppose

Your overthinking it

Maybe, but can't you just imagine somewhere down the track that the purchasing of reloading components will require paperwork?,

Is there a clear path for grey guns to become registered?

If you, as a FAL owner, get offered and accept buying an unregistered firearm, is there any penalty to bringing a firearm into the registry?

Because if there is a penalty then people aren't going to buy unregistered guns which will create a secondary market for all of the "gey" guns and if there isn't a penalty then some people won't register all of their firearms because they will be able to "bring them in" later

People respond to incentives whatever the morals of the situation may seem

I note in the Te Tari Pureke Presentation on the gun register video that they state the register is one of possession rather than ownership so I would think that that guns that "disappeared" in the past will be able to magically reappear in the first few years.

To create a "myfirarms" profile I need a cell phone to receive the code they send. No cell coverage where I live so off to town, then I have to come home and print the pdf. Then back to town to the police stn to have my account activated. Lot of milage there. Can only guess someone in Auk or Wellie thought this up. Also hope the person at police stn can do it and not say come back latter!!!
Good luck everyone.
