You must record the details of any firearms (including pistols, restricted weapons and prohibited firearms), major firearm parts, prohibited magazines or pistol carbine conversion kits in your possession.
What you must record in the Firearms Registry
Depending on the type of item, this may include its:
- make
- model
- type (for example, shotgun, rifle, etc)
- action (for example, bolt action, semi-automatic, etc)
- calibre/gauge
- identification marking (such as a serial number).
Registering your arms items will take less time if you find this information before you start.
