The firearm thread

[pritch]

Are you sure about that? I am not required to notify the police if I buy or sell a gun under any circumstances. Not saying this is how it should be, just how it is at the moment.
in any case, the guy who comes to inspect your safe, same people who do your relicense here in the far north, is from the Mountain Safety Council or somesuch

Absolutely sure. I did mention that he had B, C and E endorsements. All firearms held under those endorsements are tracked.

Here the guy who checks the safe is most likely a retired cop.

Your thoughts on Trump because 99% of the world has him down for the trifecta, Not without good reason either.

Things are ticking over quite nicely here. Did you see the muller democrat witch hunt is over and they have totally failed to stick anything to Trump. Great big waste of time and money.

Ticking over nicely Trump promised 4% GDP grown yet predicted Growth is 2.1% which is Half of Trumps predictions?
The investagation is a waste of money, Yeah right, the investigation is over that doesn't mean Trumps in the clear, a heck of a lot of his people have been indicted including his personal laywer.
Mueller’s team secured criminal indictments of more than two dozen Russians accused of involvement in Moscow’s interference in the 2016 US election, which US intelligence agencies concluded was aimed at helping Trump win.
You haven't seen the report and never has trump.
What happens next is up to the attorney general
So really you dont see trump as arrogant or stupid?
Ps US Senate elections next year. the fact the Republicans control the senate is the only thing stopping him getting impeached right now.
He cant even get his Wall bill passed as his own party is voting against it.

i Dont think so

Then you can also make it QD mag in or at bolt open or closed with a file or a grander in 15 minutes

That is a rather difficult hassle to go through? Why not just buy an SKK?
I can't say that i've seen that type of modification before... and really wonder why anyone would go through the hassle over a poxy SKS.

Also if you look at the guncity site you will see they have been removed

Anything to do with semi's is affected by the order in council, so will have been removed. TardeMe did exactly the same. All dealers have to do this since knowing that there is a law change coming, and continuing to sell, is a chargeable offence.

Bugger. You quoted Jason again.

Good job that you did though, it seems he's got a huge scoop. He knows what's in Mueller's report.
We know what's supposed to be there, but the actual detail is still a secret and very few people know anything about the contents - but Jason does. Either he's immensely well connected, clairvoyant, or he's simple.

On another note, Trump is missing in action on Twitter. Unlike Jason, I don't know what's in the report, but I think if it was good news the orange idiot wouldn't be able to contain himself.

Yes, your rifle is fine. (you say "magazines" though. Is it fully fixed into the stock and loaded through the action?
OR, does it accept detachable box mags?

SKS + Fixed mag.
SKK = Detachable mags, same type as AK's.



Not un-surprising.
Just guess how accurate their registry of firearms is...

You said it would be legal to have a 5 shot SKS as a A cat i showed otherwise. Did you miss that?
The law says capable, the SKS is easily capable with just a few minutes non skilled work of have large capacity magazines fitted. Thus its not A cat.

Bugger. You quoted Jason again.

He says hi.

I saw it in the herald.

[TheDemonLord]

Lol, what a fucking waste of $3000! You could buy a way better rifle with the money. Of course you won't look like Rambo!

I could, but there are reasons why I'm considering doing it this way.

And none of them have got anything to do with Rambo (I'd need an M60 for that)

Responding to his original question, all the SKS's I've seen have had the metal magazines and not any plastic aftermarket stuff. When they arrived in NZ (in bulk - 1990's?) there wasn't the option of aftermarket. Your vids show replacement of the units, but whether they class as a "detachable box mag" can be debateable (not that I'm going to do that here). All I'm saying is that a metal magwell which is loaded through the action once the bolt is retracted rearwards seems akin to a fixed magwell.

Having to grind the crap out of the bolt to get the thing to work seems overboard too.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I only have a cat A license...

[Laava]

Was talking to a guy who is aggrieved about having to hand over his AR15 s and the best reason he could come up with for keeping them was that he just doesn't want to give them up. He hunts but never with his ARs, in fact I think it is a long time since they actually fired anything....

No debate at all, they are capable of being fitted with a larger Mag so they are not A class.
Its that simple.
Installing the larger mag in the SKS is something any idiot can do in 15 minutes with simple hand-tools,this deems it to be not A Class.
You on the other hand said it was legal as an A class, it clearly is not, end of story.

The bolt was ground to make it easier to insert the large mag bolt open or bolt closed it had nothing to do with the conversion to a larger mag.

This thread got spicy lol

[neil.]

Mate I don't think she is thick, just stupid and ignorant

and deliberately so, to get as much political mileage as possible.

she will be aiming for the UN job, the rest of NZ is just "in the way"

Opinions will vary.
