    It's irrelevant when the rifles all have a serial number with them on the registration the finer points are sorted that way

    If that is the case why bother entering any other details apart from the serial number, and what happens when you have two different rifles with the same serial number.
    Watch the Hornady video, you will see they have all the different Ruger rifles and handguns and all the serial numbers are the same.

    Yep, a while back I had a Lee Enfield rifle with the same serial number and year of manufacture as another bare action I had on hand. That action had been butchered, since destroyed but as the UK armouries reused their serial numbers as a 4-number and 1-letter code they went through them about 4 or 5 times over the course of each year in the peak of wartime production.

    So what you are saying is don't bother giving them the caliber, all they need is make, model, action type, mag capacity and serial number?

    No, I'm just saying that with all the weird and wonderful wildcats we have trying to explain to a fellow shooter what we have is hard enough, let alone someone on a phone.
    The serial number is your way of demonstrating that you've done your part.

    So in the case of two rifles that by chance happen to have the same serial number, ho do you propose to distinguish between them? Make model serial and caliber are the accepted identification types we regularly use, everything else is an 'accessory' basically. If the registry can't get that info right, it's a fail before it begins. Even in the case of switch barrel rifles, there's a massive problem in that what happens if the barrel the thing is wearing at inspection isn't the one it wore when it was registered?

    Have a look at the website what your suggesting above is covered there.

    No it's not. Ask any pistol shooter.
