Do you need a licence to purchase a magazine?

[dpskipper]

A mate of mine from Vic wants to purchase a Lucky 13 10 round remington mag for his mate as a present. Problem is he does not have a license, and asked me if it was legal for him to just stroll into his LGS and pay for the mag, then walk out. I don't know, so i figured i'll ask here.

I have bought mags online without anyone requesting licence numbers. Based on this I think it's all good but that's no guarantee.

One thing is sure, the LGS will soon let him know if he can buy it or not.

In Victoria I don't _think_ a magazine is restricted.
Best bet is to ring Firearms and ask them.
I bought one from SA and they wanted my licence details, but that might've been more to do with it being interstate.
When I buy mags from QLD they want my licence as it's a "firearm part". When I buy them via Brownells they don't ask, and they're in ACT.
Or he can simply pay for it and then send his mate in to pick it up.

In VIC - not restricted. Purchased one the other day, online... Just paid and that was that.

Cheers for the replies guys. My mate wants it to be a little secret and give It to him next time they go for a shoot. Glad to know there will be no fuss.

Good to see a non shooter buying a shooting product for a mate....friends like that are rare.

Yeah, my friend in Melb goes shooting occasionally with a neighbour who is a really genuine salt of the earth bloke, so he wants to get him a mag to say "thanks".
