Do you believe them? They were in office and did not do it. They only mentioned this when they lost power.

It took NSWFAR 6 months to decide that the XLR chassis on my Howa was legal, simply because it has adjustable length of pull.
The decision:
Because I need an Allen key to adjust LOP, it's legal, if it was a cam lock or other quick release, ie convenient, form of unlocking, then it would be illegal in Nanny South Wales.
They weren't fussed by the appearance or the scary black colour of the anodising, strangely enough.

Lazarus- If you don't mind me asking how did it come about? via a safe inspection?
I found this picture floating around-
interesting how one is NSW legal and the rest aren't. However, purely based on appearances there are a few resembling characteristics that seem to be a common recurring theme amongst these Firearms that are banned under appearance laws, Resembling characteristics that are present in the legal Tipan.

Local gun shop owner said it was definitely illegal.
He's a known knob-end, so I went to the police station and asked to see the licensing honcho, that worthy was unavailable, but a senior constable had a look, shook his head and said he had no idea, and suggested I leave the action out of it until I could get a ruling from FAR.
That was enlightening in an unimpressive way.
Nobody knew. I was on the phone, the first time, for nearly 2hrs, most of that on hold.
I had to supply them with pictures, measurements, the manufacturer's website, and my proposed use, although nobody could tell me how that was relevant.
The petition, if any should be to bring evidence based, logical firearms laws made by people who know and use them.
Not by some vote whore whose opinion changes with the polls, or the weather, or the amount of cash in the shopping bag

a petition would have to be backed by an organization like the shooters' union to get an industry response to make it possible I reckon, a petition backed by logical and valid reasons to support the removal of item 7. But by the sound, it should include a lot more, like Legalsie adjustable stocks and so on.
