CAT A Magazine restrictions Victoria

Post by Mr.Seacucumber » 03 May 2016, 12:24 pm

G'day guys

I was wondering if anyone knew where it stated that cat A rifles had a magazine restriction on them?

I keep seeing that the 25 round magazines are restricted but I can't find the legislation to see why.

Thanks

Hmmmmm

Wow it looks like a pain in the arse to import magazines, I guess if you were going to do it you would want to do multiples at a time.

Or split things across a couple of different act's to really make it hard to know if you're doing the right thing :problem:
CZ 550 American Safari Magnum in .416 Rigby

Other puny calibre rifles... What man would want you now?

Yea I rang up LGS and they said they couldn't import them which was pretty stupid even though they are legal.
