They emailed back wanting additional photos, asked me to remove the scope to show additional info that might be under it. I sent more photos and then they cottoned on to what I was asking and said just ring up to register and quote a firearms register number of the unmodified rifle, and they'd change the caliber. When I did, they didn't want to know the number they'd given me, then couldn't find and wouldn't add 45 ACP, and wanted me to call it a 45 COLT. I refused. They changed it to 45 AUTO, and then wanted me to acknowledge the declaration about providing false information etc. All I wanted was for the register to match what was stamped on the receiver. When they told me their arms officer said to change it to 45 COLT, I told them if he thought 45 ACP and 45 COLT were the same, they need a new arms officer.[/QUOTE]
