    I'm in the same boat kind of as @JustAnotherSpearo we have 3 Fal holders in the household and have one safe that we all share.
    wonder how that all works. when it comes to whose guns are whose wonder if we will need to label them with name and FAL number for when we get inspected
    we will be due an inspection next year. as mums license is up for renewal

    What about all the firearms & there are plenty of them so far, with incorrect cartridges or models recorded against their info as they "aren't on the list" so the "closest one is used"

    Its going to take ages to register my personal firearms, very few "standard off the shelf" ones amongst them & I'm not interested at all in incorrect info being loaded against them

    Hopefully they will have that sorted by then........

    Not sorted yet
    Several of mine are registered wrong caliber at their insistence
    I intend getting them changed to correct in a few months

    They struggled with

    .25 Rimfire

    12.7x44R

    50 Eley which is what's on the barrel and went in as 500 3" BPE. That's what it is but not in the barrel

    Right now this is a laugh,but down the track you will need the papers to be correct in order to buy the cartridges for you rifle.

    It's not a laugh it's a complete clusterfluck. This should have been sorted out prior to 'go-live'...

    Yeah well same
    Got a 308 P14. That should be a 303
    Also have a 25-303, same deal. Wonder if it will throw the toys out of the cot.
    The obvious thing here is they have tried to make it as easy for their data entry as possible bit onle works for what they have decided to be a definitive list.
    A bit like the great confiscation....I mean buy back. They tried to Pigeon hole every single different one so they could identify value, which ultimately meant they missed some out.

    You all need to realise that the consultants who design and program these data systems are not "off in the weeds" like some of us firearms owners / collectors.
    They genuinely have no idea whats out there.

    I have now spoken to 5 people on the FSA phone system.
    They have all been decent to deal with.
    I have warned them all that the big collectors who are generally older and who have the large collections will be the last to register and that the tonnage is yet to come.
    They do not accept my warning that the serious 200 to 500 firearms guys do exist and that there are a handful of mega collectors with around 1000 items that technically need to be registered.

    They are in for a rude shock. I know several greater than 1 million dollar collections in 1 city.

    Did they try and argue what you were saying?

    The value of the collection is immaterial as the firearms value is not entered

    When we disagreed she went to an arms officer for advice and that is what was entered

    I intend correcting these minor inaccuracies

    It's value based on numbers, in the cases I'm thinking if. Indirect inference

    TTP are having an upload function built for big collections to be uploaded by spread sheet, same as dealers will eventually.
