Warwick WFA straight pull categories confirmed

[saucy]

This has been "coming" for so long I wouldn't be surprised if most have lost interested but here it is.

Warwick WFA straight pull license categories have been confirmed in a few places now.

Update to category classes for each state:

WFA1 has been confirmed as follows
Victoria: Category B
South Australia: Category B
Tasmania: Category B2
New South Wales NSW has approved the WFA1
Other states are reviewing at present and we will update you when the information is available.

Regards,
WFA

The WA police commissioner is going to love that.

Over here we can't even have a Remington 7615 because it can take AR magazines which are too military.

[1290]

That's great. But in vic categories 'change'.....

[PaWNTANK]

C'mon QLD, make it Cat B, you can do it.
I can see these being released then 5 months after they come out some ass hat greenie will complain about them.

The 'military appearance' card is going to get played for sure.

Do we know how much it will possibiy sell for

[Bourt]

I was following it for a while and this could possibly be quite out of date, but last I read it was about $8,700 for their semi-auto and $4,000 for the straight pull.

That was 9-10 months ago or something though still while things were being developed so take the numbers with a grain of salt. Could have changed significantly.

$$$$$$

That's me out then

[pajamatime]

[Sav]

Better put some money aside for this one

My wife will be like you deserve it which is code language for "mwahahha your my slave now yah bastard" lol

[lole]

I wouldn't turn one down, they're sure asking a premium for that straight pull functionality though.

[dorpel]

They're not the only straight pull in town either.

The Browning Maral is about $2,500 now.

That's great. But in vic categories 'change'.....

I think I should correct my earlier statement....

OK, not really..... not just yet;

But anyway, how the Warwick going?? gone a smidge quiet

where did you read about it? any linkage?

[Wylie27]

On shootingaust. There is a whole thread dedicated to it.

Warwick firearms basically said they were just told by a dealer it's no go in NSW due to looks. They are seeking a formal ruling as they haven't heard directly from the NSW FAR about the re categorisation.

Can I link to it here? Feels kinda dirty... Lol

Ok here is the link

Linking is always cool as long as it's genuine and not blatant promotion of something/somewhere.

Then the stick comes out.

[1290]

What's this shootingaust?? Sounds kind of gay

They don't appear to have any problems with Accuracy International who make military sniper rifles.

That's the problem with that rule, it's not blanket enforced and seems to be up to the discretion of the FAR

From memory the wording of the legislation is along the lines of "...if in the opinion of...".

Opinion is law if you're sitting at the right desk then

[Browning]

Are these legal in Qld?

[TheDude]

Are these legal in Qld?

yep. a few have them already in QLD.

I'm coming up on 6 months since I ordered mine. will give them a call in the next few weeks to see how they are going. last I heard a few months back they were a bit behind and new orders were up to 12 months wait.

Are these legal in Qld?

Yes still Cat B for now.
