Purchase of coarse caliber air weapon
Do you want to order Airguns with calibers of 5.5mm or higher?
No problem! Read on.
If you want to order a registration-required air weapon in our online store and have it sent to you by Posten/Bring, this is no problem.
But before we can send this, we need a few things from you.
After ordering, you must send an original police-approved weapon application (paper set in three parts) along with a copy of your driver's license or passport to the following address:
Game-On AS
PO Box 81
4068 Stavanger
You can order the weapon you want even while you are waiting for your application to be processed. We will hold the weapon for you for up to 5 weeks until you have your application processed by the police.
You must apply even if you have permission to purchase/possess large-caliber weapons.
APPLICATION FORM AND PROCESS:
The application form can be found digitally on the police website. The link to the application can be found by click here. The application is then processed by the police/sheriff who makes a decision whether to grant or deny it.
You do not need to be a member of any club or have a hunting license to apply to purchase a registered air weapon. However, you must have a valid purpose for getting it approved. This could be, for example, practice shooting or target shooting.
AGE LIMIT
The age limit for air force service is 18 years.
THE APPLICATION
An application is valid for 12 months from the date of approval. This means that you have 1 year to purchase a weapon from the date the application is approved. If a dealer has problems obtaining the weapon you want within this time limit, or you are unable to use it for any other reason within 12 months, it can be extended for an additional 6 months. Renewal must be done by the police before the application expires, otherwise you must apply again.
Currently, the fee for an application for an air weapon is the same as an application for a permit for a weapon part subject to registration, i.e. 374.-.
More information about applications can be found at click here.
Some points that make filling out the application a little easier:
- Your address in the National Register determines which police station you should send your application to. If you are unsure, please go to this link and fill in your zip code under point 3.
It is important that you fill in all information about yourself correctly according to what is registered in the population register.
- It is not necessary to decide exactly which weapon you are going to have. It is enough to write, for example, "Air Rifle Caliber 5.5mm (.22)". Remember to state whether it is a semi-automatic rifle or not. It is therefore not necessary to fill in the fields with the factory/brand/model designation and number when you buy from us, who are an authorized dealer. However, if it is private, this must be filled in together with the seller's name and address.
The area of use is what you will use the weapon for. Since hunting with airguns is not allowed in Norway, the area of use for airguns is mainly practice shooting or target shooting.
State whether you have an insurance-approved gun cabinet (FG cabinet). This is mandatory from the first gun. If you have a receipt for the purchase of a gun cabinet, it is a good idea to attach a copy.
REFUSAL
Reasons for refusal can be several things, including that the applicant is under the age requirement, has a criminal background or has special reasons that make the applicant unsuitable to possess a weapon. Special reasons are not specified, but they can be mental illness, alcoholism/drug abuse or age.
All refusals can be appealed to the Ministry of Police.
Once the application has been processed, it will be returned to you stamped and signed. You will then take the application to the seller who will fill in the necessary data.
We can summarize this with 4 simple points:
- Order your desired airgun in 5.5mm or larger in our online store.
- Apply to the Police for permission to purchase an air weapon that requires registration.
- Send the approved and signed application to us.
- We will send you the product along with your part of the approved application.
