I suspect that it will be a registration of each barrel as the same gun. This is what Police have done with the .22 conversion i have for my Shadow, they have called the .22 conversion a second pistol.

Interesting, what about revolvers with different calibre cylinders ???

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

I watched a one and a half hour video with the firearm authority doing a presentation and answering questions, this one came up. They said, select one caliber and register it as that. Barrels are not major firearm parts so the register does not need to know about the rest.

Only issue I can see with that is if it's wearing one of the other barrels if you get audited... Logic and common sense and all that.

I dunno if there will be that big of rush to register, more likely overloaded with queries like we've seen here. Looking at you @BSA Revolvers with different calibre cylinders indeed!!!

Guncity said they have been a lot busier than normal and I assume all the other shops would have been too.

There are always going to be issues with any new implementation but one would assume there is a certain amount OCL already have available as it's a platform they have used elsewhere.
I would be surprised if there were any availability issues once it went live as it will probably have quite a bit of resource behind it however I don't know what they are doing for hosting/data centres.
We will all see from tomorrow onwards I guess

Another problem is seller registers buyer doesnt. Firearm is lost in space somewhere...

the system theyre apparently using is SAP which Im familiar with having used it for 20+yrs whilst working .It was prone periodically to spitting the dummy latterly very flattered by hackers and at that time in that location underwent a phase where "patches"almost became a daily occurrence.given the info i was supplied when speaking with police during the hand in Iwont be holding my breath.

45 Colt/45 ACP 22Mag/22LR - Different cylinders req'd. Cylinders being a major component, will they want them registered separately.

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.
