Buyback question

Post by Bergararse » 19 Dec 2025, 2:20 pm

So if they make this mandatory and offer a blanket $1000 for centrefire rifles, like I’m seeing in WA. Do we have any legal recourse given my rifle is worth $4K or is it just go and pound sand? Like mine is a target rifle you could barely lift it to your shoulder more than a few times as it is so heavy.

You take the thousand dollars, drop your trousers, and bend over.
The cost of the vasoline will be deducted from your $1000.

It's not just the value of Firearms we will be reamed on many spend thousands on optics like quality S&B to thermals that will have no second hand market in Australia and aren't included in buyback.

remove scopes and accessories , wait a while and sell second hand . scopes and similar aren't restricted items in QLD . if i had to hand in a rifle they'd be getting a bolt, receiver/magazine and barrel and that's it !

There's bigger problems to worry about at the moment.
on Aussie reviews he just pointed one of those out there 100% going with this National registration database something to think about is the category system where the category b in one joint is a category C in another he did point out there were some mix-ups with a and b so you can rest assure that they won't be dropping anything from a category to suit it will be lifted so think you'll find that the theft of our firearms will be a lot broader than you think they're going to have to go national firearms laws

And you probably should change the name of your thread it's not a buyback the pricks never owned them in the first place it's amazing the arrogance of the scumbags they actually think they owned them and then gave them to us nothing less than theft

There will be no second hand market here for optics if recreational shooting is banned. There will be millions of optics for sale with no buyers.

Those with high end optics might have to look at selling overseas.

Those who have a fancy stock/chassis might be better off removing them selling overseas and just handing in bolt action barrel and magazines or keeping stock/chassis as a wall ornament..

Ffs I was worried that would be the case. Not to mention I was looking at trading a couple in to get a better one but the 2nd hand market is now going to be in freefall.

your right there . my local gun shop was doing it tough cause of the economy, now i reckon sales are going to be non existent until laws in QLD are settled . on the upside i might be able to walk into cleavers and get served straight away ;)

gun shops are going to be doing it tough , support them if you can :thumbsup:

Its just frustrating to think about how we are getting our guns stolen off us again! Twice in a lifetime.

I own a lot of pistols. When are they going to steal our pistols?

Seeing as none were used they shouldn't even be looked at but then again we know how this filth works hopefully there's just as much time between incident and legislation as last time because everybody seems to be a lot more informed and mobilised at this time back in 96 it took eight months

Everybody knows a farmer handed in his ar15 in 1987 to the police when Victoria banned them. It was then used by Victorian police for training then sold to a Bendigo gun dealer then somehow ended up in Tasmania and used for the Port Arthur shooting.

I will be destroying my receiver and barrel before handing my guns in.

1996 was pre internet so it was harder to spread information.

These days I think we can be more organised more rapidly to stop these laws.

What about all your handguns?
If city people have no reason to own rifles, think they'll be handguns?

What about the bans on hunting?
The work recreational shooters do in controlling feral animals compared to the clusterf**k of government paid imbeciles?

Stop talking about what you'll do if you have to hand over guns.
Stop f*cking around here.
Have you all sent off at least 5 emails today instead?

According to these new laws they're bringing in you won't be allowed to get on the street and demonstrate that's one thing they want to bring in if something's been listed as a terrorist event no demonstrations for three to six months and we all know why that is being brought in
