Thread: Useing the firearms register

For those with a reluctance to register and those that are just hell bound to leave it til the last minute, all they need do is anticipate their next three years worth of ammunition usage and purchase it prior to the the trigger date.

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.

That will trigger a query from the bank Rushy.

I don't believe components are included in that so reloading might get a whole lot more popular.

Just looking at the 'help pages' and
Identification markings (serial numbers)
You cannot register an arms item online if it:
* has no identification marking, such as a serial number, or
* has one that uses characters other than A-Z, 0-9, slashes and dashes.

Now I have a TOZ that looks to be from 66/67 going by the cyrillic stamp of "Г" as part of the serial number.
When I get to registering it do I just use the nnnn of the Гnnnn?
I'd hate to have to restamp it

My first rifle was a 22 Toz, it had a "backwards" R in the serial number which really threw the policeman at the arms office into a spin with his typewriter....."hey Boss how the hell to I enter this serial number "

That was 42 years ago now, everything was registered....until they decided it was a waste of time, effort & money.....history repeats they reckon........

That's what I have done.
Bought enough smallbore ammunition for 4+ years and I reload my fullbore ammunition.
I have enough primers for at least 2 years, powder for 2, projectiles for 3+ years.

I don't need to purchase anything and don't intend to register until nearly the last minute.

Recent events have shown that sworn police officers can't be trusted with registry information so mine stays out of the registry for now.

So we don't have to register??? At least not yet?? I'm so confused with it.. and I really don't want to do it.

You don't need to register until you have a "Triggering Event" such as buying/selling a firearm, buying ammo after 24/06/2025 or renewing/change of address for your FAL. it will be compulsory sometime during 2028

Perfect thanks.. I'm just going to keep ignoring the emails then. They called me today to but didn't recognize the caller, so didn't pickup.

Depends on WHY you are getting emails in first place...
