Get help identifying a firearm’s details
To register a firearm, you must know what type (for example rifle, shotgun etc) it is, as well as its make, model, action, calibre/gauge and, if it has a non-detachable magazine, how many rounds it can hold.
Your firearm should have a marking (serial number) on the receiver, action or frame.
