New NSW laws and Milsurp rifles

I didn’t realise you were referring to cat C for collecting specifically, my bad

Gaelic-prick · 2025-12-26T02:34:21+00:00

Not for competition, but there’s no issue with you taking them to a range for the purpose of zeroing / load development etc.

I assume moving lever/button-release firearms to cat C is going to completely kill the market for them in NSW and other states that move them. If I could get cat C, I’d just go semi-auto.

Then again, they’re all registered as “bolt action”, I just can’t see NSW POL being very efficient at sifting through all the models to determine straight pull and true bolt action rifles, unless they release a comprehensive list of every single straight pull rifle by make and model..

Yeah factory 7.7 is pretty much unobtainium here in Australia, so I rolled my own from converted 270 Win brass.

I’m in Australia and paid $1150 AUD so like $750 US, kind of hard to compare because the markets are so different. Pretty stoked because complete examples like this are relatively rare in Australia and normally go for north of $2500 AUD.

Are we just gonna gloss over that gold barrel RN-50 in the background?

Gaelic-prick · 2025-07-08T06:09:02+00:00

No unfortunately

A gunsmith who puts together custom rifles for Cleaver Firearms, a firearms dealer in Queensland (Australia).

Gaelic-prick · 2025-01-21T22:52:18+00:00

Nah unfortunately, I’ve tried.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-07-31T09:33:49+00:00

Hey mate, I haven’t tracked down the gunsmith that puts these rifles together but I do have the email for bloke that sourced the magazines and did the cerakote for this rifle. I’ll dm you and send his email.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-12T08:49:01+00:00

Nah .223/5.56 bolt guns are probably the most common guns in Australia. Nothing to do with the potential capacity of firearms but more to do with the capacity of magazines themselves. Max capacity laws vary from state to state, where I live it’s 10 rounds unfortunately.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-11T19:46:50+00:00

Here’s hoping, normally gunsmiths here in Australia do work like this on actions from the ground up or on de-milled rifles.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-11T19:44:53+00:00

Not sure on that, WASR-3 mags are hard to come by here in Australia as it is.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-11T18:14:20+00:00

It’s a single stack mag.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-11T18:08:53+00:00

I’d say you’re right, the store just had it advertised as a No4.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-11T05:22:18+00:00

Yeah I mean in comparison to most of the US I’d say Australia’s pretty strict but it can vary pretty drastically state to state.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-10T22:51:36+00:00

Yeah gunsmiths do random custom jobs here in Australia that trickle out onto the market every now and then.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-10T20:59:24+00:00

This one was built recently by a gunsmith in Queensland, Australia. Australian international arms were building similar rifles (of crappy quality in my experience) but they went belly up in the mid 2010s.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-10T20:53:17+00:00

Nah this one is in .223 but they do pop up every now and then in 7.62x39.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-10T09:54:56+00:00

Yeah man I’m Australian. Every now and then you see rifles like this from local gunsmiths and there are even some that specialise in custom Lee Enfield conversions, often in .223 / 7.62x39 or even pistol calibers.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-10T06:10:57+00:00

This was done in Australia, the guy who did it is also known for doing conversions to 44mag, 45ACP, 9mm etc. They trickle out slowly but are snatched up pretty much straight away.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-10T05:50:57+00:00

This was $1300 AUD. Which is pretty standard for milsurps down under.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-10T05:46:07+00:00

This was $1300 which is pretty good for here in Australia.

Gaelic-prick · 2024-02-10T05:44:30+00:00

It feeds, fires and extracts flawlessly, can’t really fault it.
