I 'heard' they wern't going to allow them, however I'm going to take a stab at getting them safety tested (which will be no issues), doesnt mean they will allow them thoguh..
After all, A cat firearm, so will see how we go.
I want one in 44
oo - keep us posted - would like a 45/410 version
I'll take a .44 one too spanners if you manage to get some in! Second thought even a 45./410 version would still be cool
As they did not allow the Uberti carbines in , and they are the same thing almost , you can however buy the cap & ball Uberti carbine .
I see they are advertised in Aussie right now .
Too easy to convert to a revolver apparently
I am after one in 44mag if you can get them landed.
hey guys. did anybody finish up with one of these?
Just got one of these in Australia in 410 45lc great gun only put 3 410 shells through it bang bang bang love it moving back to NZ after 33 years wrote to NZ police not allowed to bring it with me now totally p... offed.:angry: http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...angry.pnghttp:
The irony, Australia with all its daft laws is allowed a firearm that we aren't!
I'd rather have what we have than a gimmick junk rifle

It maybe a Toy but great spotlighting shotgun and those 5 45LC rounds are certainly handy short range pig shooting in the scrub over here anyway its on the market before I move and I'm getting a 245 Tika Lite the old 6.5 Swed is getting a bit heavy for me to lug round these days even though I love it.
The Rossi Circuit Judge (All Calibres) was submitted to the NZ Police by Ampro Sales (The sole importer of Rossi into NZ) to have it put on the Approved Weapons List. It was not accepted. It was also put on the ban list for import (A Cat). Therefore, no, they are not available in New Zealand and will not be in the foreseeable future
I can only agree as looking at pictures of them,Quote:

Funny thing is they let in some browning buckmark rifles,same thing could be said about then.
Was a shit rifle anyway-had to use glasses as it dumped unburnt powder etc way to close to your eyes-the action is a lot closer to your head on a rifle than on the pistol version.
Still, if I had known I would not be able to buy another I would not have sold it
I am reminded of an American TV "Truck" advert which paraphased slightly would be:
"Don't buy no ugly gun"
yep but that's also the reason for stopping the buck mark to easy to convert to a automatic 22 hand gun
to convert the rossi all you need would be a hack saw, a file, a drill, a round head brass screw
1 cut the stock along the dotted line as it were and clean it up with a file
2 cut the barrel to desired length and square up with a file
3 re crown the barrel by putting the screw in the drill and put jb paste on the head apply gentle pressure to crown wile drill is rotating to get a simple crown
I agree far to easy and that's why they don't let them in
would be a neat wee rifle but its a shame if no one done things like that the cops would have no reason to ban them just another example of someone fucking it up for everyone
Crims win, rights and privileges down the shitter!:thumbsup:
You do realize you can do the same with virtually any semi auto .22, right?
Sshhhhhhhhh....'they' might hear you.....(place tinfoil hat on head now) :thumbsup:
Yep and pump action Winchesters look very nice converted?:thumbsup:Quote:

I would question why you could not import/sell these to individuals who have "B" or even "C" endorsements to their licence as it is fundamentally no different to any of the Revolvers endorsed licence holders can currently purchase.
It appears that the importer may not have considered this option for their market.

Sure, if your that way inclined-but the same can be said about a cricket bat.Quote:

yep but you can do it with almost any acat firearm a little more hassle as you have to shape the grip.... but anything's possible lets just hope us responsible firearms owners obey the rules and don't do illegal shitQuote:
