Each time you apply to add firearms to your license, you have to first buy the firearm, provide justification (ie property letters, etc) and pay a noting fee. Then you wait to see if it has been approved. And no, that's not a mistake. You have to purchase the firearm before you can apply to have it. But you're hot allowed to have it until it has been approved.

My 2 cents worth would be if you'r using it for foxes and rabbits, I'd go for the 22mag or 17, heaps better than the 22lr.

Nope, will definitely be getting a .22lr and 12gauge. The question I'm asking myself is whether to get the 455 with three Cals, a .22 and .17hmr or just the .22. Or perhaps a second hand and a new, or a couple of nice second hands, etc. Either way, I won't be doing anything before christmas

That must be nice for the dealers bank balance.

No, the dealers don't get it, the government gets it. You have to pay it at a post office.

Oh, I'm also going to see if I can find a fin light to handle

What a completely rediculous system!

This makes absolutely no sense in any practical or logical way.

Oh, but it makes complete sense. The idea is to make it as drawn out, onerous, difficult and expensive as possible to disincentivise people from applying. The more onerous and expensive the process, the fewer people that will apply

Daylight f***ing robbery.

A PTA here is $20 or so.

Everyone at the WA registry must be "earning" a pretty nice executive paycheck.



In VIC its 9 dollars and some cents ... and theyre issued pretty much when received, 1 0r 2 hrs or maybe a bit more depending - if via online system (proving they're redundant, pointless, waste of time and effort etc...)

WA - I can not understand why you guys DO NOT MARCH ON YOUR PARLIAMENT?????

As far as Lithy VS Annie....sorry CZ

Lithy (been doing 22s for about 3 days) VS CZ (been doing 22s....forever!!!)

So...... AFAIC, its a given

Few post-release hickups with the Lithy's too as it turns out.

So a lot of the feedback says anyway (I don't have one).

I also was tossing up between the CZ and the Lithgow also a Ruger, but I ended up going a CZ 452. Thought I would leave the LA101 until Lithgow sorted out all there little problems.

p.s NSW is $30 bucks and 28 days later for your PTA's.

Better than QLD has been historically but 28 days is still too long, no reason us LAFO should wait.

If we must have them we need to get out of the dark ages and at least onto computer nationwide like VIC for turning around permits in hours.
