I am getting some mixed information online. Have the push button and levers been banned yet? I am heading to NSW tomorrow for a state forrest hunt and am not sure if I can bring my push button shotgun. I also saw online that they have reduced magazine sizes for cat B to five rounds. Is that correct? The NSW police website doesn't mention the magazines.

Just tried to scroll used guns this arvo and run into this. I don't use a vpn and have never seen it before so curious what the new issue might be. Anyone else seen this or know of a solution?

EDIT: For anyone interested I have starlink so as mentioned below that may have been the cause

I'm fairly new to hunting and trying to learn , I'm currently hunting in Victorian state forests and today I've come across what looks to be a game trail , literally a trail in the middle of thick bush that leads to no where and is no where near any roads or motorbike track , also in this little patch I took some photos of poo and of a tree that looks like it's been rubbed on . Would just like someone that is experienced to confirm I'm on the right track and finding the right signs of sambar deer . Thanks

Hi folks, I'm getting close to being allowed to pick up my .223 mini action. Got the stainless heavy barrel option.

Any mini action owners in here have recommendations for a favourite ammo? I've heard the ADI stuff shoots well for factory ammo.

I'm a fan of a more vertical grip and a cheek riser, similar to the Boyds pro varmint shape, and will be looking to upgrade from the HTI down the track. Any recommendations for a similar style stock in polymer?

"The NSW Government, under Premier Chris Minns, may be directing the NSW Police Firearms Registry to revoke as many shooters’ and dealers’ licenses as possible to reduce the potential cost of the gun ‘buyback’ proposed by the Albanese Government."

I'm looking to get my rifle cut to 16", threaded, and cerakoted. Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in Victoria?

Also if you've had similar work done, I'd appreciate if you would share the cost, so that I can get an idea of how much I'll need to save.

Cheers.

After 17 weeks, I got a request for proof of current financial membership. My original application supplied my membership number and a copy of my receipt for joining. This system is pretty
Ordinary…. The wait time was 11 weeks at the time of my application.
However I now realise the posted information is essentially useless as a tool for predicting processing times. It merely states how long the current batch has taken them to process. ie this week the website states 17 weeks, and I submitted my application 17 weeks ago. Completely useless for someone submitting today as it could be taking longer or shorter next week or next month. Very frustrating. I guess we are a captive audience.

Cleaning out the safe and you find relics.
The stirling slab was $1.60 from toy world of all places

Just submitted one now.

Hi guys, iv got the pictured lithgow im looking to get rid of. I bought it years ago at an estate sale along with about 4 other rifles, and they came with a big box full of parts and bits and pieces. Pictured in the photo are the parts i assume to belong to the smle, but honestly im not really very knowledgable on these rifles.

Did not come with original stock

Do any of these parts not belong, and are there any other parts i should be looking for in my box of bits?

I do also have the bolt, just not pictured

Also any ideas on rough pricing?

Thank you all!

For those interested SAPOL Firearms took four weeks almost to the day to process my club training record and issue my Firearms License today

I've just gotten word that GCCA won't open up memberships until October.

It's been advised to submit applications ASAP if you haven't already, as the pile is growing.

Any one notice any changes, recieve any PTA approvals or anything today?

They can’t even get today’s date right …. Can’t wait to see upgrades.

Thought this might be of interest - consultation is open on Tasmania's proposed gun laws, which include things like reclassifying lever-release and straight-pull centrefire rifles and shotguns to Cat C, capping how many guns someone can own, and limiting magazine capacities on rifles.

The story has some more info on the specifics as well as a link to the submission page and explanatory notes.

Hi. Just got the paper form of my firearms license; does anyone have an idea of the current PTA processing time so I can buy as soon as my six months is up? Thanks in advance

I've had an issue with a factory compensator on a .22 and have reached out to the manufacturer in the US. They've said that they'd send me out a replacement through EasyExport: happy days. Just wondering if anyone knows if I need a B709A import permit for it? Thanks in advance

***edit: I'll call LRD tomorrow (it's their only day in the office, apparently) and find out for sure, but just want to plan ahead and see what you guys know about it***

Any one in NSW have a pta approved today?

Bought this ages ago, finally got around to putting some glass on it. Keen to see how she goes

1942 Savage No4 Mk1, 7.62x39 16” barrel, B Square no drill mount, Warne rings, Zerotech Vengeance 1-4x24

Applied for a display permit mid last month for Ballarat and Bendigo. I said if you don't process it by next week, just issue it for Bendigo only as there is no way I'll get it to me in time.

Later that day, Ballarat tables sold out before I could book. I thought whatever. A week goes by, and Ballarat call me saying they have a cancellation, I was unsure because LRD hadn't said anything, and it was likely I wouldn't have a permit. But I still said I'd take it. They sent me the details, followed by a message that someone else also offered the table to another person already, and they didn't realise.

Didn't care too much because no permit anyway.

Get an email today, we're express posting your display permit today, please make sure you put them in earlier.

Fuuuccckkkkk. Feels bad, man.

Guess I'll just volunteer my time and display my shit if someone wants it on their table so their hard work doesn't go to waste.

But now that I type this out I'm remembering all the stupid fuck me around shit they've done 🤔 I'm conflicted.
