The purpose in deactivating a firearm is to render the firearm incapable of being returned to its original firing condition but at the same time preserving the appearance of the firearm. This may be so that the firearm can be displayed or kept for historical or family reasons. South Australia Police can assist you in the deactivation requirements for your firearm.
