I got my first centrefire the same way from a GC off the F&H forum, a good deal with a few helpful pointers thrown in.

For the likes of myself I have 2 main reasons for not purchasing a rifle using the new system.
First one is most of my recent purchases are cheap. If they weren't cheap I wouldn't have the shekels for them. Talking several hundred dollars.
Wacking 60-70 bucks on it makes it not so cheap. That's just me and wouldn't be such a deal breaker if the firearm was a thousy plus.
Second is that even though i have a cop shop 5 minutes walk away they don't have a front desk.
Rangoon coppers do but wouldn't do it for me a few years ago.
So I have to drive to Christchurch central to do a form. PITA. That for me now is a Saturday depending if I work that day or finish.
Where is the thought that the local rozzers could get to know me and what I might have like that ass hat Capill keeps wanking on about to justify rego.
The last one is minor. I see any of this paperwork as another method for obtaining details for registration and don't reckon they need help to make that work.
Mind you that is giving them some credit and actually doing it. Don't reckon they have done that in the past especially if they wanted to work out how many of the military style that they wanted squashed but pleaded ignorant to our fearless leaders

The last one is not minor.....

because the ship via dealer network is awesome BUT police forms make it an information gathering exercise pure and simple..there is eggzachary ZERO need for a police form to do this..ZERO
why??? because the fellas/fellesses at the stores HAVE TO sight firearms licence for person picking it up.....so the form is irrelevant
you could argue if it goes missing in transit the serial number is recorded...umm well it will already be recorded by the seller so nope no dice
its registration via default.

I've done the try before you buy up at Pengy's place. Beats farting round with forms, police stations, waiting for ages then going into a shop any day. Then again there was a long gap between agreement and pick up.

It's the sellers problem. Why make it yours....?

What is this thing I just pulled out of my nose?


Why don't some sellers offfer complimentary tickets to the rugby?


The answer to all of these questions is in your "block" list hahaha

Some of you need to sort your shit out this thread is now locked

I'm not even going to begin wading into the bullshit of if someone is a troll or not, but ffs as pointed out by 308 if you don't want to see posts from a member add them to you blocked/ignore list if their posts effects you so deeply you can't resist the urge to stir the pot.

If you feed a troll it will eat, sleep and shit on your offerings. If you igmore it life goes on and the troll finds somewhere else to feed.
This is not a stab at the O.P just a general observation
