So, a Finnish certificate is sufficient to be allowed to own firearm? Or do I need also the Norwegian hunting certificate? What does this confirmation mean in practice? Is there some ready official paper or is the confirmation more informal? Ie. what kind of proof does police of Norway required? (clean criminal record?) Ok, similar in Finland.

Hi, I from Finland and I do not speak Norwegian, but hopefully my English is a bit better. It seems, that I will move to Norway and therefore I would like to know generally hunting and shooting/guns in the Norway. I would be grateful if someone could write little about hobbies and answer to my some questions. There is really good article in the Wikipedia and I read it, so the same things doesn't need repeat. I would be interested to know how much the practices of authorities are tighter than the Act is to suggest? Here, in the Finland this has been a real problem when the gun permit is depending on the Home Office guidelines, locality and chief of police and his thoughts and at worst, anticipation of (the planned) a new firearms act. (Law is not the same for all!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Norway" target="_blank Firearms Act: http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19610609-001.html" target="_blank Something is still unclear. Apparently all the theory tests (hunting license and sport shooting) are performed in Norwegian, but are there exceptions? Of course, I need to learn Norwegian, but... Do I need other permission for spare parts of firearms, if I have already an firearms license? What the law says for about gun modification and building, example different stocks, muzzlebrake, flash hider, variable lenght barrels or shortening the barrel, triggers etc. Is there the difference between sport gun and the hunting gun? What kind of currently practices are on shooting ranges, do I have to be a shooting club member so I could go shooting? How about hunters? Does a hunter club have own shooting ranges or are there public shooting ranges? Same for hunting weapons or not? Hmm... I think Can I do that bolting in my rental apartment... Thanks for the answer. Ps. Mandatory membership in shooting club and the police home searches seem really nasty. Even in Finland they were found to be unconstitutional... and lists of approved weapons (hunting/ipsc) and and a restriction on the number of weapons an owner can have for each caliber seem are unnecessary and stupid. Where are Fn Fal, G3 or .308 Saiga etc.??? IMO
