More than 15-thousand people have handed in 24-thousand firearms and almost 89-thousand parts and accessories.
Sixty-eight per cent of those are centre-fire semi-automatics - valued at less than 10-thousand dollars each.
Police will be publishing buy-back data on their website fortnightly.
Deputy Commissioner Mike Clement says the 20 December amnesty deadline's looming fast, and there'll be no extension.
