Just want to say thank you to everyone who replied. God Påske Jonathan p.s. Thank you for the invite Ranger, If I'm ever up your way I'll get in touch

Thanks Sako, Just another one of those grey areas

Sako 30-06, Thank you for the advice regarding the new weapon laws and their implications. The .22LR I'm going to puchase is going to be used for both training (80%) and hunting (20%), so what your saying is, list it as a "training for hunting rifle" and this will not take up one on my hunting licences but I can still legally hunt with it? Thanks Jonathan

Flashman, Thank you, thats exactly what I needed Hilsen Jonathan

Hi everyone, I'm sorry that this is written in English, my Norwegian is still very basic I have a .22LR rifle which I am going to sell before buying a new .22LR. Can someone please advise me how I should go about this regarding the weapon laws and the necessary paperwork as I want to ensure everything is done correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hilsen Jonathan

If you are worried about the trigger (avtrekket) on the CZ452, lots of people in the UK & USA have been installing the "Erik Brooks Trigger Kit" It costs only $15 and is supposed to make the trigger superb on the CZ452 click here Beklager at jeg skrevet på engelsk, min norsk er ikke så bra

Thank you for all the positive replies, I think this would be a great addition to what is already an excellent forum With regards my Norwegian, I'm pretty good at reading and listening, but whe it comes to speaking and writing I find it difficult, especially with those Æ, Ø, Å - .....My girlfriend reckons I'm fluent in Norwegian after a few beers, but I can never remember it the following day! Bent (Skaubjønn), I promise to make more of an effort with the Norwegian next time we go hunting, I might even have the courage to speak a sentence or two I'm going to England on the weekend for a few weeks, so I would like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Hilsen Jonathan

Great, we'll see what happens

As an englishman living in Norway it can be difficult to find what I need and to ask the necessary questions on the Internet forums in Norway. How about an "English only" area, this then enables people from all countries to ask questions and get the answers they need? And I know you Norwegians are good at English, especially after a beer or two Hilsen Jonathan

No problem Bent

Contacted the police in Oslo yesterday to ask why my weapons permit was taking so long. Was told that I needed a certificate from the police in the UK to prove I don't have a criminal record just wish they has told me that before I submitted the forms as I could have had everything ready weeks ago! I guess it's back to waiting! So a word of advice to you foriegners wishing to purchase a gun in Norway, obtain the relevant Police forms prior to submitting for the gun permit as it make things "MUCH" faster! For any British hunter in Norway, you need to ask your local police station for an SA1. Once completed you need to include a scanned image of your passport and also of a utility bill with your name and current address in Norway. This then needs to be handed/posted to your local police station in the UK with a payment of £10. This is then sent to Scotland Yard for processing, once processed it will then be sent to the address provided on the form. According to the information sheet on the SA1 form it can take upto 40 days to process! *** An exception to the above is if you have been registered as living in Norway for the last 5 years, if so and you have commited no crimes whilst in the country, the weapons permit can be processed in Norway without the need to contact your home country's police force*** Hope this helps someone! Regards/ Hilsen Jonathan

Thanks for the replies.

Hi all, I Apologise that this post is in English, but my Norwegian writing is limited I'm soon to buy a CZ 452 Varmint in .17HMR and was wondering how you should break/shoot in the barrel? If you want to reply in Norwegian I can use Google to translate Tusen takk J

Hi Ben, If your friend is British and lives/works in Norway he will have to take the jegerprove like all other Norwegian citizens wishing to hunt. I took my jegerprove through Solemskogen JFF as I live in Oslo. Solemskogen arranged a translator for me during the exam, after I spoke to the person teaching the course at Jordalskole. The jegerprove course however, was in Norwegian but I understand a little so I was able to follow most of it. If your friend does not understand Norwegian it would be necessary for him to have someone help translate and ensure they get the best from the course. As far as I'm aware there are no lessons held in English and the official book for the jegerprove is also in Norwegian! For the exam, they took me into a seperate room with the translator so as not to disturb others. The translator then went through each of the questions and translated them to English for me. I'm not sure if your friend is familiar with the format of the jegerprove, there are 50 multiple choice questions and he needs to get 40 correct in order to pass. To be honest most of it is common sense! Hope this helps, if you require any further information/clarification just ping me a message. Good luck to your friend! Regards Jonathan

Hi, I'm English and I've been living in Oslo, Norway for the last four year and I recently passed my "jegerprove" exam. I have very little experience of hunting and was wondering if anybody would be prepared to take me out and show me how it should be done? I don't have a weapon yet, so I will be more than happy to just watch and learn. Thanks Jonathan p.s. I do speak some Norwegian, but you guys speak such good English it's taking longer than I hoped
