Sorry but a 1:3 scale replica between being banned for its appearance is stupid. Its size should be indication that it cannot hurt people.
Lawmakers are smothering us like someone trying to smother another person with a pillow.
Its just the 3 / 4 different tones, in the one pistol i find makes it look weird.!
Like cmon, its a pistol…you dont need to go for broken camo look, in something that small…!!
Did they confiscate your 1:3 Ali models.??
Really…??!
Whats next, confiscate toy guns from star wars figures.??!
Please tell me you are joking…!!
I never ordered them. I am just so paranoid about how vague the definitions are. It’s a replica of a real gun, yes but the scale is small enough that most people won’t take it seriously.
So I am confused.
Ask.
Send an email to NSW police, with a link to the ad.
Specifying what you want, and that its 1/3 scale.
You should be fine… or at least get your question answered.
Or…
Just order it, and see what happens.
You legitimately can order with good faith, as its not real scale / cant be confused for a real firearm.
In the end, border force inspectors will have the final say, regardless of police allow.
Worst case, they will confiscate it, and send you a letter advising such.
Kids play outside with plastic 70% scale toy guns, so…
I browsed the realm of weird shit: eBay.
Edit: isn’t it weird that eBay has a lot of stuff considered naughty naughty.
Even H&K with their RAL8000
German colour numbering system dating back to WW2 Afrika Corps apparently.
Most firearms were black around the 1980’s, when Iraq, Afghanistan and desert fighting became the norm they found black rifles stick out like dogsballs in a sand environment. Allowing soldiers to paint there issue weapon which was verboten prior. Then manufacturers doing some with FDE, Tan, Ral whatever it gets called.
Some I like, some don’t tickle my fancy.

The only major buy I have made is a meta quest 3.
Fuck it. I sent a message to NSW police in order to satiate my curiousity… I really do want a 1:3 scale tti pit viper and G34 Combat master.
EDIT: trying to contact the ABF via email is the worst…so bloody beaurcratic.
I see a bunch of local sellers on the ebayz selling them so they must have cleared through customs.
EDIT: I ordered these in 2019 and when they arrived they had customs tape all over it like someone did a bad wrapping of an xmas gift.
this is a bit off topic, but if you have a quest three I recommend you get this one game called Pavlov shack… I play on a server on there that’s a knockoff EFT and the Aug A3 is king 
I am playing through metro awakening on steam… The only time I’ve used an AK and a Tokarev.
What annoys me is that ppl are saying that you need a safe for miniature replicas.
Wtf?
Can you buy mini safes, of ali-express…??
You have got to be kidding me…
Like why would I need a safe for a scaled down replica of a weapon that does not function? Are people that dumb?

It seems I didn’t contact the correct department so they just said message them at the provided email address, so I did and we’ll see what they come back with.
I do think the idea of needing a safe for a 1:3 scale miniature is obsurd, whether that’s true or not.
