permit to aquire firearm form Question

[pete1]

Hey,

Got a question about filling out the form to permit to aquire firearm it says to specify the calbire and gives a example 303BRITISH so which would be correct 22LONG RIFLE or 22LONGRIFLE?


Thanks in advance

22LONG RIFLE you could try wrighting AK47 but it may be better just to ADD 22LONG RIFLE OR .22LR

Which ever one you care to write....
22LR is enough, they'll understand

Not that they understand the difference between calibre [0.303inch] and chambering [303 BRITISH].....

I noticed that on the Victoria PTA.

You must indicate full calibre details eg. 223REM, 303BRITISH

The word "calibre" is actually bold and underlined like that, it seems they're pretty adamant they only want to know the width of the projectile it fires, not what cartridge it's chambered for

But I didn't realise the diameter of a circle could be measured in REM's and BRITISH's

Ok thank you

Dealer filled out the paperwork for me but IIRC he wrote 22lr for mine, someone at the registry ticks it off. Doesn't have to be exact formatting match for a computer to read and process it or anything, just basic information.

I've only written the Calibre previously. (ie, .22) - no LR or anything else afterwards - never had a problem. (Well, with that question anyway)

I'm pretty sure what comes back on your PTA will only mention the calibre anyway, and not the chambering.

Pretty sure it is the chambering.....not just calibre....
But I normally email in the PTA, recently I had the dealer send in over the interwebs, just gave them a licence numbers, got the PTA a couple hours later, didnt say sport hunting or anything....... I honestly dont know what REASON they put on the application if ANYTHING at all.....

Just PROVES beyond a shadow of a doubt that the PTA process is a pointless redundant waste of time and effort and expense....imposed on the law abiding licensed firearm owner SOLELY to 'appease' various element of our community and for NO. OTHER. REASON.

Bring on the revolution

Yep it's bulls**t.

Drag us through the license process so we have permission/authority to possess a firearm.

Then we have to submit an application to get permission to buy the firearm we just got licensed for. Huh? Helloooo, where are you logic?

Useless anti bulls**t.

I wonder what happens if you wrote .22 BMG or .22 Barrett on there
