Thread: Useing the firearms register

"It's a rifle but it's registered as a shotgun - how do you explain this!" is not the discussion I want to be having. Practically we know you just swap the barrels over and hey presto it's correct, but for me this is just shades of the A-cat/E-cat argument with a 7-round vs a higher capacity mag - academic until it comes time to explain it to Mr or Mrs no-ears and bad day...

well if dickheads on an A cat didnt keep putting hi capacity magazines in the plurry rifle...and certain retailers hadnt kept selling the two together with a wink wink wink attitude we wouldnt be having this discussion.

how many folks run a different set of tyres n rims on WOF DAY??? enough that it is an issue... and its no different.
how many folks have 2-3-6 trailers and only one registration /numberplate and wof and simply switch them around depending on what they want to use on the day??? I know of 3 folks who have done so for years.
