Thread: Boyds Stocks

Had one delivered last week, it had also been opened as had nearly all the rest but there has never been a problem. I think I have 15 over the last 12 months. Anything over the $100 mark they won't send because of export permits which I believe have a minimum cost of $250usd. Expecting 2 more this week as they have just cleared customs, they also sell Bold Optima triggers which are also very good

As Steve has said, just had a mauser 98 stock and trigger arrive for the .257 project no issues at all.

I am no expert on these matters but have been told by 2 different cops that I required one.
Maybe they were being careful.
Fines are pretty big if they wanted to make an issue.

For $178 NZ I'd just give it up if that happened. If they are going to worry about a piece of wood then you could say a scope or rings is part of a gun too.
Just go for it, no dramas with mine either. They probably only open it up cause it's a wood product anyway.

I seem to eat alotta popcorn round these here parts

The act reads quite clearly, a number of people have been having issues posting scopes lately. Rather than go on opinions I'll flick an email to the arms officer to get their take on it, if its as easy as R93 suggests it was to get a permit then why wouldnt you?

I would recommend getting a permit, after having some parts seized I clarified with customs and was quoted as R93 has posted section 16 Para 1 part b ((b)any parts of a firearm)

a permit does not cost anything and will save you any headache's along the way,(BTW if your AO claims you don't need one, get it in writing)

Cheers

Ive sent an email to the AO, will see what the response is. It would be good if there was an interpretation of firearms parts, would seem a bit over the top if you needed a permit for a bipod but can understand it for working parts of a firearm (ie anything that could add to the number or firearms in the country)

There is an interpretation of firearm in the act,

firearm—

(a) means anything from which any shot, bullet, missile, or other projectile can be discharged by force of explosive; and

(b) includes—

(i) anything that has been adapted so that it can be used to discharge a shot, bullet, missile, or other projectile by force of explosive; and

(ii) anything which is not for the time being capable of discharging any shot, bullet, missile, or other projectile but which, by its completion or the replacement of any component part or parts or the correction or repair of any defect or defects, would be a firearm within the meaning of paragraph (a) or subparagraph (i); and

(iii) anything (being a firearm within the meaning of paragraph (a) or subparagraph (i)) which is for the time being dismantled or partially dismantled; and

(iv) any specially dangerous airgun

From that a scope cant be adapted to launch a projectile, a stock can be adapted or when completed used to launch a projectile

no issues bringing them in at all.

As this is largely an experiment that I'm wanting to try a few different things on I'll be going it myself, I used to be a joiner and have access to most of what I would need but may end up making a couple of jigs to keep things square etc and make any future tasks easier.
