No it's the 16" restricted, The NRs will take longer to arrive. GOV already knows we have them anyways so no difference to me as I dont shoot on crown land or plan on hunting. Just putting holes in paper.

Newbie here....please explain how the govt knows what NRs you own? I guess they would know what you bought at some point?

Whenever somebody buys a firearm their license and the firearms information is sent to the CFO and the business also keep record its said that the information isnt stored but do you trust them?

Ah ok thanks. My understanding was there is no NR registry like there is for R firearms.

There isn’t. The CFO knows what NR you buy today, but not what you currently own.

They dont even know what you bought today unless you have already done something thats caused a judge to give the police a warrant for our sales records pertaining to you. All the CFO gets from us is your PAL number, your DoB and your email, they tell us if youre a good boy or girl still and issue us a transfer number thats good for 3 months and isnt tied to a single gun. (Aka you could buy 10 guns that day, only 1 transfer number)

I mean there still isn't really, not compared to R firearms. After it's gone from the store they aren't tracking them via private sales. Store can show I've bought it sure but I've sold it since then, and bought other things people bought from stores. Neither of which were tracked.

There isnt an official one and older firearms cant be tracked very easily but new ones are recorded and any firearm that is bought , sold , given and I believe inherited requires the 2 license holders to acquire a transfer number which is possibly also recorded

Transfer number just permits you to transfer NRs, no information on what if any firearms are actually transferred
