    I brought a firearm last week, completed mail form on the Monday. Seller was emailed on the Tuesday given the all ok.
    I haven't heard a thing about mail order or about register.

    I am looking to buy a new rifle, the first 'new' one in quite some time. I understand this will trigger the registration process. As I have a few old bits and pieces that have no serial numbers, does anyone know how long I have to get them numbered? It looks to me like I would have 30 days?

    The few old bits and pieces wont need registering unless they are a receiver, and it will have a SN stamped onto it.......usually

    Has anyone registered a Blaser and different barrels for them? I have one chassis & a few different barrels, Do you register each barrel?
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    Yep I found no issues, neither of my chassis's have serial numbers so just registered the barrels.

    I registered each barrel as each is stamped with a serial number.

    My mileage was different. A brno zh 200 switch barrel with 3 barrel sets, they only wanted the actions number and weren't interested in the barrels although they are all serialised different to the receiver. On asking I was told they weren't considered a critical part

    That will be interesting when I get around to it. Blaser receivers don't have a number. And made up barrels don't either. So technically ghost guns.
    Overkill is still dead.

    That’s a good question @outdoorlad there doesn’t seem to be an option of registering barrels. My new K95 barrel is nearly here so I will give them a ring to find out what the go is.

    So Ive got quite a bit of stuff Im thinking of selling. Do I have to register a firearm before selling it or register the exsisting firearms I have left?

    Some of the stuff is firearms. So at this stage do I need to register it before selling it or does that kick in when the new owner buys it and I register what I have left? Or sell the lot in one lot...

    You don't have to register until you sell, then the lot including the sold firearm. Once the sale is concluded you need to do a transfer to the new owner, this has to be done over the phone as there isn't an online system for this yet.
