Yeah, they used to do it regularly. Convert to 44-40. Why anyone would want to molest an original Henry is beyond me.
By that rationale all Martiniās should be registered because some were converted to .303.

Yep, firearms laws and logic are generally mutually exclusive.
Even state to state is ridiculous.

thats the same trouble ive been having im not a licence holder currently and most places will only ship dealer to dealer and the dealers want to cover their asses by registering everything im trying to wrap my head around it all still
Just get your licence then mate.
Your options are basically āGet your licenceā or āFind a shop that sells antiques as antiques, go there, and buy it off them in personā.
might well have to was hoping to avoid the headache until i could get the 150kg safe but it seems im out of options any ideas on paperwork through covid i hear its a bit of an uphilll battle at the moment might need to do it sooner than later
You donāt need a safe to get your licence, not until you want to buy a Cat A/B.
Other places to buy are off people direct. If you go along to your local BP shooting range or day out. A lot of the people when I went to one were using antique rifles as you would expect, many unlicensed.
Wombat is correct in that gun safes over a certain weight do not require securing. However, antique firearms do have to be kept in a safe, even though they do not require a firearms license or registration.

States vary - In Victoria they do not have to be stored in a safe.

In Queensland, antique longarms and āpre-percussionā handguns are explicitly not weapons and do not need to be licensed, registered, or stored in a gun safe. Antique cap & ball revolvers do not need to be licensed or stored in a gun safe, but do need to be registered.
Yep, I concur with Keith. Original post was in relation to NSW, therefore it donāt matter for shit what happens in other states.

About the only thing that the states agreed to was to fuck over LFOās.

Doesnāt matter, these interstate perspective on these things is important - especially because weāre talking about a year-old OP and people stumble across these threads via Google search and might get the wrong info if itās not properly presented.
