Since 1 July 2026 a PTA is only issued once the applicant shows they meet the safe-storage requirements, and new and renewed licences run for a maximum of two years.

      The Howa Mini Heavy Barrel is $999, the Ruger American Gen II Grey and Predator start at $1,193, and the Gen II Ranch is $1,340.
