I'd like to try to explain what I'm trying to do.

I live in Norway and our gunlaws are complicated.

  • One of the main principles is that if a gun is made before 1890, you don't have to have a permit or register it. If it is built after 1890 you have to apply for a permit and register the gun. It does not matter if it's a muzzleloader, blackpowder cartridge or a modern high powered gun.

  • Each time you apply for a permit you are charged a fee for paperwork. The fee is $86, no matter how many guns you apply for at the same time.

I'm trying to put together a package for 3-5 guns I want to build. This would save me between $172 - $344 in paperwork fees. It's also possible to save a bit money on shipping by sending one package, instead of several.This is why I'm researching alot of different building options.

There is one large fly in the ointment:
  • For every gun you apply for, you have to state under which rules and regulations you are entitled to the permit.

Sorting through the rules/regulation and filling out the forms is a bit like filling out a crossword puzzle :P. Please bear with my many questions.

Best regards
Rolf
