Calling any Australians with knowledge of Queensland gun laws.

If I wanted to own an authentic 20th century four-bore double-barrelled rifle firing cartridges, what category of weapon would it be? I'm thinking category B, but I'm just not sure if there's an overriding calibre restriction.

Would the laws be any different if I bought a reproduction/custom production four-bore rifle?

Wouldn't a double barrel be a "high capacity" in Australia

I'm pretty sure it's actually just a category B weapon, but I have a hard time believing something so awesome as a four-bore is actually allowed in Australia.

There has to be some other law banning it.

Also,
>mfw rifles firing .50 BMG are specifically listed as banned, but a .499 or a .501 would not be banned.

For what fucking purpose?

Go to your local police station or gun store and ask.

That's how people get arrested.

While you lads are at it, sign this e-petition to get our cat D's back in the hands of sporting shooters. Go into Google maps, select a random address and sign using an alias.

Any 'Mericans that are lurking, give a bloke a hand if you've a moment. We'd appreciate it. This petition is to reclassify semi-auto centrefires back in the hands of the populace for sporting reasons.

"Historical Interest" would work in SA, it's literally a museum piece.

For a reproduction?

This is true, I didn't think of this. I want to own it in fire-able condition though, and for a licence to be granted on historical grounds I'm pretty sure it has to be deactivated.

In Queensland, for Category A, B and C weapons, collector pieces on a collector's licence only have to be "temporarily deactivated." This means trigger locks.

Only D and higher need to be "permanently deactivated," ie fucking destroyed.
>>
>>30539503
If it's not semi-auto, it's Cat.B. If it's pre-1900 in some states (idk about QLD) and doesn't have commercially available (ie. off the shelf) ammo, it's an antique. Good luck anon

Is it permitted to remove these trigger locks to fire the piece?

>>30545040
Cheers. What are the rules like for owning an antique? Is it just a rubber stamp or do you have to go through the whole license application process again?

Just looked this up out of curiosity, but holy shit.

You could have a concealed carry self defence handgun in Australia so long as it's made before 1901.
