Ammo storage capacity is asked on your application now. Just gone through the renewal process. Was a better experience than I was expecting.

How do you answer that? I mean, rabbit season spring/summer is a lot higher 'number of rounds of ammo' than the start of duckshooting with a slab... And buying a couple of bricks of .22LR is a quite different beast to a couple of bricks of 7mm Rem Mag or .338LM! Just for something different lets go for a 12g rifled slug setup - now my headache is forming. Next one I can see coming on is the current thing asking people to buy steel safes (that aren't vented and don't comply with HSNO Act) for ammo storage.

Ah, ok. Glad I didn't waste my time

the lady I spoke to ( Indian I think ) was really really nice but sadly not experienced in firearms -the system would not recognize a BSA Martini action small bore - single shot yes lever action yes - she was going to discuss with her Supervisor - but now how the hell do I get into the site - will try again tomorrow lol - did not want to know Dads old 303 either a 1901 BSA long tom - Remingtons went straight thru -

I'd certainly recommend getting everything in writing and keeping a copy in the safe!

Wouldnt it make a great news story. Firearms owners supply incorrect information on register costing the tax payer millions...

Are you familiar with our journalists? I think that would convieniently get left out..
