Handguns were recorded, but you won't find the info and LRD won't tell you down here. In NSW they may be more helpfull (wishfull thinking??) If you know a friendly dealer they may be able to do a registration check to see if it is still in the system, but it would be State specific only, best of luck..
That's interesting. And I'm surprised. (well maybe I shouldn't be) I thought the serial no, make, model etc would have been recorded at the point they were handed in and when and where they were crushed.
I guess then if it was used in a mass shooting nobody could trace back that the cops sold it AFTER it was handed in. Mmmmm Am I getting synical in my old age.
I insisted on seeing my 12g pump getting crushed.
