Just wanted to hear from others who have done it, how license transfer works and if there are any significant differences in the law that I should be aware of.
Thanks
No such thing as licence transfer anymore, you apply for a new licence when you reside in Victoria.
Detachable magazine capacity here is 15rds for CatA, 10rds for CatB.
Can't think of any other differences between us and SA off the top of my head.
Oh, you can't supervise an unlicenced person on private property here. Unlicenced people can only handle firearms and ammo under supervision at approved ranges.
Sorry, I read it the wrong way around
I don't think you can have folding stocks in SA, and they have a technical limit on the amount of ammo you can possess - only what you can use in a year.
They don't have restriction of CatA rimfire detachable mag capacity.
You can supervise an unlicenced person on private property over there.
