A bare, barrel blank surely, is just that.
Until it has been threaded to fit the receiver/action and reamed with a chamber for whatever cartridge is proposed, then it really is only a precision...

Yep, they too have to abide by the rules.

:thumbsup:

I would suggest that you re-read the WHOLE of 19B.
Unless you are not absolved of the requirements as stated in 19B(2), then 19B(1) applies, i.e. (a) -'Concealed from view'. There is not a specific...

The original post quite clearly posed the hypothetical of two licenced chaps, with firearms in vehicle, being stopped for some reason. And then the question of who is responsible.
A number of...

As a responsible LAFO, I really do get pissed off when others in our fraternity (or maybe they're not) refer to firearms as WEAPONS.
FFS, when are you going to learn that the police, military, and...

Ahhhhhh. Perhaps the "piece of wood" is the "wrong" shape.

Thanks.
From the picture in post #2, and your description, I have a suspicion the the previous owner may have removed the bottom plate and magazine well which has resulted in the rear of the well to...

Thanks.T
hat does look like the arrangement. Mine must be the older variety, but it does seem odd that if I open the floor-plate the spacer simply drops out.
Is that how it should be?

I have acquired a Rem 700 in .222Rem. Yeh, I know - 222 hard to get unless you reload. I do a bit of that.
My puzzle is that within the magazine well is a small oblong box section part which appears...

Yes, that is the case at the moment, but there is a date beyond which ammunition purchases, which will then include mail-order purchases as well as the in-store variety, it will be a requirement.
As...

I don't believe that you've read that right.

Original establishment was suppose to have been $408M, to be spent over four years, and now expected to increase to $500M (over the four year period)....

Difficult to know what you meant by "surrendered for some personal reasons", and I have no recollection of such a post.

My own experience was this.
Yes, I did voluntarily surrender my licence,...

If they were dismissed, were they actually offences for which conviction might have been the outcome?

My experience, so far, has been some positive, and some very negative.

I had to bite the bullet because of an ‘activating event’.
Knowing that a lot of my “stuff” would not (anecdotally) be...

A bit more info' here:-...

It's even better than that.

"Immediately begin to repeal and replace Part 6 of the Arms Act 1983 relating to clubs and ranges, rewrite the Arms Act 1983 to provide greater protection of public...

Here's an interesting look at the hunting fraternity. "Killers" putting food on the table :)
OK, it's oz based but the parallels with NZ aren't that much different....

If it's not required by law, what is the store policy if a (potential) customer declines your request to view a f/a licence?

Seems to me that they're making this shit up as they go along.
Clearly, whatever was said in the interview satisfied the vettor/s, to the extent that a licence was issued and actually arrived into...

Apparently it's OK for somebody who has been sentenced to home detention for "domestic violence" to have access to firearms...

Why would you need cell coverage?

I think you'll find that it has nothing to do with being a "back window culture" thing, at all.
There are places that prohibit concealed carry, so they openly display - yes, it can be seen in the...

NZ Police knowingly (partly) destroyed the serial number of a firearm? Ain't that just wonderful. Absolute numpties. Almost equates to taking to the serial number with the proverbial angle-grinder.

There's the problem.
The arms officer was putting his (or his superiors) interpretation on something.
The requirements are quite clearly spelled out here...
