Thread: Useing the firearms register

Just depends on your definition of manufacturing ammunition I suppose

I realise the no requirement to register ammunition, but this is about 'manufacturing ' ammunition?

Your overthinking it

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

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.

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.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out. For me they will have to record both against both rifles as I have box mag and detachable mag I can have on either 223 or 308 of the same brand.
They have also said they may ask for photos so I wonder how common that will be.
Fun times ahead

They struggled to maintain an accurate registry back in the 80s and didn't include all firearms.
Tring to do this now with gun parts makes it exponentially harder.
Just because the numpties wanted it doesn't always make it a doable reality.
They cocked up the confiscation by rushing it and being arrogant ass-hats.
This will be way worse.
It will be like a dog with 2 ducks.
They won't know what to do with it.

Being the obstinate old fuck that I am, asking for photos will bring about a fresh set of questions like. Who is going to take the photos? Where does the camera come from? If I use my camera then where do I send the invoice for the reimbursement of camera rental, my time and the cost of data to upload the photos?

As you say, fun times ahead.

You guys with the barrel change option and multi-pull barrels, which caliber will be your registration choice. Gunsmith was querying them at the new headquarters today, no answer was forthcoming
