Cover the gas hole and do away with piston assembly

Expect it will be more detailed this time round so even changing to strait pull wont slide past.
These fucktards do detail?Quote:

we are going to be lucky to keep "non-scary" rimfire 22's like the 10/22 or marlin 795 by the end of this week...
Try reciever type numbers (UN)
Yeah Australia has now designated the lever action as a rapid fire military weapon.Quote:

As ebf said, you better take one last loving fondle of your classic style .22lr semis and tube magazine shotgun semis.
The Australian model of arm control is coming and soon.
I’m speculating that the number of firearms handed in, probably won’t be that high
5-10% maybe ?
funnily enough they are going to increase fines for firearms offences now to ensure our compliance but didn't do it before when we wanted it to stop civil gun crime
Do you have any more information on these, my google foo seems to be lackingQuote:

Correct, and they are using what happened in Christchurch as a reason for it.Quote:

I don't condone this at all by the way, I am just being realistic.
That was in the media but it is certainly indicative of the hell hole we're heading for.Quote:

I would suspect that's where a lot of them reside.
In NZ there is a far greater chance of being spotted in public unless you were on a private block.
Ever heard of " Scorched Earth" or to put it simply " If I can't have it, Fuck you"?Quote:

I do get what you mean but I beg to differ. Probably not most of the time, but imagine being out in a relatively popular area during the roar or near a hut and maybe not a hunter as he would be as pissed as a lot of us, (but some of them don't like them so threw them under the bus) or a gun scared townie tramper spots it and reports it back to the coppers. all hell would break loose.Quote:

I wasnt allowed to take photographs club rule, but it evidently was very handy in running bore competition.
Mike McIlraith at the police demonstration before MPs showed them a 7 shot tube mag semi shotgun, with a tube extender, commenting that this was one that could be easily fixed, or words to that effect. I'd just wait and see what happens, and keep contacting your MPs about where they stand on prohibitionism.Quote:

My bet is that they will get chucked in the cupboard for times when they wont get busted or there is a minor relaxation in the laws.
I'd advise against that. Might end up getting shoved somewhere you really don't want it. Why give someone leverage over you by acting in the least illegally? If it gets bought back, at least you get the satisfaction of the money and can spend that on (almost) whatever you like down the gun shop.Quote:

They did get paid for firearms but still didn't hand them all in or sold them on to other than the coppers. That was for firearms not parts.Quote:

This is why they should've shut the fuck up for a bit, listened a little, stopped trying to look super tough to the world (this was Taxindas chance to stop nuclear warships) and actually made something that would've achieved everything they wanted with the most compliance and cheapest cost.
