107 Approval for additional major firearm part for firearm
A firearm (the original firearm) can be approved as including an additional major firearm part (an approved additional part) that is interchangeable with a major firearm part of the original firearm.
A firearm can be approved as including more than 1 approved additional part.
When a firearm is approved as including an approved additional part —
the original firearm and a configuration of the original firearm that results from an approved additional part being fitted to the firearm are each approved configurations of the firearm; and
each approved configuration of the firearm is treated as a separate firearm for the purposes of it being a firearm to which a licence applies; and
a licence can apply to 1 or more approved configurations of the firearm as separate firearms to which the licence applies; and
approved configurations that are treated as separate firearms to which a licence applies are not counted as separate firearms when counting the number of firearms to which the licence applies; and
the Commissioner may amend a licence that applies to the original firearm for the purpose of including an approved configuration of the firearm as a firearm to which the licence applies.
An approved configuration of a firearm must not be included as a firearm to which a licence applies unless the Commissioner is satisfied that the licence would be granted to apply to the approved configuration of the firearm.
