Thanks for answering my question.

so apparently in NSW, Australia, you dont need a permit/licence to fire a pre 1900 firearm. this is according to a sutler over here in AU.

However, I contacted the firearms registry about that exact issue and they said to fire one you do need a licence/permit.

Two experts and the wrong answer could lead to me going to jail 

this is a mind f*ck for me at the moment...

Take the safe option... YOu should be happy with the outcome IF it turns out to be illegal

U can own a pre-1900's original , 100 years rule, but to fire u need liscence

you can own imitations of pre 1900's.

quick question for you zac, do you need a Permit to Acquire to buy one?

[zac]

In QLD u can own imitations of pre-1900 without liscence (still cant fire), illegal in ALL other states

Yes u need to send in a permit 2-3 weeks in advance,the Firearms Registry will then give u a form which allows u to purchase a firearm, but u must be over 18 to do so

At present, in NSW (& some other states) antique flintlock muzzle-loading guns made before 1900ad do not require a licence, registration, or a permit to purchase. But replicas of thes same guns DO require a gun licence, registration & a permit to purchase.
These muzzle-loading guns are classed in the same catagory as breech-loading firearms!

direct from the NSW police Firearms Registry on Antique Firearms-

What about an imitation of an antique firearm?

An exemption from the requirement to obtain a permit exists for possession or use of an imitation of an antique
firearm, but not an imitation antique revolver - see section 6A of the
Firearms Act 1996
and clause 116 of the
Firearms Regulation 2006

Read it , doesnt say that u dont need a liscene,"requirement to obtain a permit" "a permit" is different, as u need to have a permit to purchase rifles+liscence etc, u don't need a permit perhaps,but i had too, and everyone else i know. So u still need to be liscenced, therefore over the age of 18. We have 2 police officers in my group and a member of the firearms registry.


in either case i can garantee u that to fire at events u must have a licence and registered firearm

Christ, Ausse Guns laws are SOOOOO annoying

[zac]

Annoying, true, but they aren't ever gonna change so no point complaining about it. And in hindsight, the way the youth act today it is unfortunately necessary/.

Damn youngsters!

so if i was to order an imitation of a springfield 1861 or an enfield 1853, would i need a permit to acquire to buy it?

[zac]

u wouldnt be able to order it, as it goes through a firearms dealer (must be over 18), u need a licence and im 99% sure u will need a permit


It shoots a bullet so must be registered
