Haha, so technically you didn't do the 'entering the info incorrectly' thing and it isn't your problem!Quote:

Wait till the big collections come in, shit I’d be on the phone all day, and I’m only a little guy, a mate of mine has over 300 to register, another has about 100. If I have to go through the grief, I’ll need a support person on the end of the phone punching the buttons. I’ll have to remember my hearing aids and keep my phone charging and not get grumpyQuote:

And when does one have a problem hahaQuote:

They are claiming it's already passed 30000. Although imho that's pretty low uptake. At an average of about 5 guns per LFO that's only 600ish users out of 250000.Quote:

Yeah sorry, was about to head out to a funeral so mind was elsewhere.
Leave pass stamped... It's quite interesting the numbers though, the amount of people who report issues of various levels vs those that go straight through definitely doesn't make me want to rush in thats for sure. We will all have to jump at some stage even if it's just for renewal but the last few weeks before the roll out period ends I expect will be madness.Quote:

I cant even get past the real me login. it wont accept the password that I created. great. Think I will make a list and e mail that to someone monday and save the blood pressure pills.
Oh dear, That doesn’t bode well for an bugger like me. Not that I am planning to do it just yet.Quote:

Youd think one of the most common guns in nz would at least be in the register. And they want accurate data? And its an offence to supply incorrect information?
No issues registering a Ruger 10/22 there were multiple options for models. No sure what viper is doing wrong.Quote:

You can't really blame people for struggling with the pile of runny shit it is.Quote:

Like all computer programs a mix of ease of use and frustrating interface.
100% the user interface is a dog pile I agree.Quote:

Spoke to a really nice Indian lady who was immensely helpful. All guns registered in 15 minutes. (there's a few)
One she had to freehand as there didn't appear to be a corresponding model. Its very old.
Not so painful afterall. Im still quite concerned about the security, but I didn't have a choice really after the triggering purchase.
Now, a stupid story. Mates son has had his licence suspended for demerits. Police turn up to the house and revoke his firearms licence on the grounds of 'not a fit and proper person' anymore. For talking on his phone apparently whilst driving.
Anyway, they want to take his rifle. His uncle has a licence, so the Police drop rifle off there. Turns out his licence is expired and has been for 8 years!!!! They didn't even check to see if it was current before handing the rifle over to him.
Cue music

ya think thats hard try getting it to recognize a BSA Martini action had to ring up- it would only recognise lever action they have apparently fixed thatQuote:

I then had issues with it accepting my user name, even though my chosen user name was not available the system did not tell me that until after pressing the next button, it then took me back to the beginning of the registration process. By that time I was tearing my hair out so i went direct to the RealMe website, BIG MISTAKE, not sure exactly why the process there was so complicated but the process had me taking selfies on my computers camera, nodding and shacking my head, blinking for the camera, I shit you not. All this took about 15 attempts due to me apparently not looking directly at the camera???? SHIT. So at that point I went back to the Firearms registry website and out of desperation put in my username and password and bugger me I was in, even though I had not completed the process on the RealMe website. So after about 3 hours of hair pulling I was done. PHEW.
I wonder if they 'Flag' you , past a certain number of firearms in the registration process . How many might be considered too-many ? Thoughts ?
Mate, they cant even get realme to work, i doubt that putting a 'limit' on entries is within their realm
It'll be on the road map of things to do.Quote:

And if you sell a firearm you are not allowed to edit your own registration you have to phone them, so what's the point of it all if you can't do any edits.
With you on that one. real me was the challenge not the register. Fucking archaic.Quote:

The response from the team at Kapiti was “I thought we had fixed that ? “
Did not fill me with confidence
Quick update they have fixed some of the things but not all
Ran pretty smooth today when I input my details, defininately smoother that what it was mid yearQuote:

Legitimate Question - Have you all had a "Trigger" event or are some entering the Register Voluntarily. ?????
FSA doesn't recognise my license details.
Over phone person can see it is all correct and tells me what to enter
But no joy
FSA IT support were supposed to make contact within 10 days and sort it
Hasn't happened
I am likely too do the unthinkable and buy a firearm next weekend !
It would certainly be reassuring too have at least been able too get past first base with registration
Has anyone else not had the FSA system recognise their details and how were you able too get through the problem ??
I fully expect a long slow process beyond this first hurdle because I only own a few modern firearms that their data base will recognise.
After that it's makes, models, types and calibers they will not have a clue about
I’m actually not against the registration, although like most I have my doubts about the ability to keep data secure.
I haven’t. Don’t tend to buy a lot of firearms, and have enough reloading components to last more than a few years at the rate I pull the trigger.
I’m waiting until the election, on the off chance Seymour gets his way..
