What category of 'firearm' would that fall in in NZ? Just as a matter of interest to us foreigners over here, What about Australia and the US too with these skeletonised weapons
Normal A-cat Firearms license, treated the same as a fully functioning MkIII or a single shot bolt action .22
The short barreled Skeleton actions are classed as a "Restrictive weapon" because of their over-all length and require a C (collectors) endorsement which means they are under the same restrictions & security requirements as a fully functioning machine gun.

About the same legalities here in NSW. Normal cat B, bolt action centrefire rifle.
Short barrel models category D due to barrel shorter than 14" (IIRC) This means they would have to be rendered permanently inoperable... and no, they are not considered inoperable enough as they are.
I remember there was a bunch of these sold a good while back, but had new full length barrels fitted to make them legal.
I know no one asked, but no permit of any kind in Canada. It's considered an non firearm. Same with the short skeletonized guns. They can sell in a curio store.

Not quite what you are meaning but no permit required here for A-cat firearms, this covers bolt action, pump, lever & some semi-auto including the likes of a SL8, Bid/pay/collect/take home.Originally Posted by browningautorifle
Very nice find, 5thBatt. What is this that I've highlighted in the photo? A reinforcing pin? I haven't seen this before. Attachment 14188
