The firearm thread

[Mr Merde]

...
Apparently that's how you import them as they don't want the total number of E-Cats in the country to go up, you buy an A-Cat rifle, then buy an aftermarket E-Cat stock, then surrender that weapon when you import a new one. It costs obviously, but it highlights the silliness of the rule.

Its not a law. The Arms Act makes no such provision on a person wanting an E cat firearm to hand one in.

This is another case of the police making an interpretation and in collusion with NZ Customs they are forcing it upon the NZ shooting community.

Bastards.

That's all I have to say on that matter.

Yeah, this is something that I would like to see as next on the chopping block. It doesn't seem to have done anything to the availability of E-cat weapons (of which the extra 'danger factor' seems pretty ephemeral anyway), just made them that much more expensive. Hell, it's probably cheaper to buy an un-licensed E-cat weapon providing you have the right contacts than it is to buy a licensed one... Yet another way that people obeying the law are penalised.

I never understood that logic by the cops, making someone 'surrender' their E-cat, does that mean they have to give it to the cops and deal with the cash loss? =/

That is awesome. I love the exposed piston and bolt carrier arrangement...

So by current police thinking the .303 smle should now be classified as a MSSA or a C cat firearm because it is capable of being converted to a semi auto or fully auto weapon.

Someone better e-mail A W McLeod

I thought they were already the A-Cat-E-Cat. 10 round mag (exceeds 7 rounds) and a bayonet lug. I figured it was just the sheer logistical issue that led them to turn a blind eye to them...

Currently there is no magazine maximum capacity for bolt or lever action rifles.

The SMLE as issued is a bolt action

How about this for NZ



Its not a semi auto so it doesnt come under the MSSA ruling

Its lever action. In .30 calibre but you can get them in .223 and .308
