You need to have a category C licence to be able to buy/own a semi-automatic shotgun in Australia. To purchase a semi-auto you must be: 1. A primary producer. The dealer usually applies on behalf of the customer for a B709A from the State Firearms Registry office. B709A must include: • Customer full name and address • Customer firearms licence number • Firearm model description • Firearm serial number 2. A Sporting Shooter. Sporting shooters must get a certified sports shooter certificate issued by the Attorney Generals Department. Customs requires presentation of a certified sports shooter certificate before they will allow the release of the firearm to Beretta Australia for sale to your local dealer.   We strongly recommend you talk to your local dealer or visit the Police website for your State for more information.
