Paddy Galore! Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hi mate, as your rfd has taken the rifle, he should put it on his register, if he's charging you(which is a bit of a con IMO) then you need to put his (the rfd) details on the notification.

Paddy Galore! Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 ok, just to make it really plain and simple... the respective FLD's will need to see where this gun has been, the original owner will take it to his frd, the rfd will put it in his register and then contact your chosen rfd to arrange delivery, they will swap details and enter them in their respective registers, your rfd will then contact you when the gun is in his possession, he will then charge you an admin fee to transfer the gun onto your licence, technically, you have bought the gun from him and it's his details that will be on the notification form.

Dekers Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Interesting..and I don't know the answer, but my first reaction is you put down who you bought it from and paid money to for it, and I assume that was the original rather than your RFD, your local RFD is simply a middle man..isn't he?? Redardless of if your local man enters it on his register he does not own it and he is not selling it to you, he is simply the holder of it for a limited time. I suggest you talk to your to your region/FEO, please post definitive answer. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Fox Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 You have Di porter on your door step! When I had my 17hmr sent from Yorkshire to sportsmans Exeter, it was recorded as purchased from sportsmans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth0689 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Could you not just put the same details that are on your certificate? As it will be your RFD's details on there and they would have filled in and signed your certificate I would assume the Licensing department would like the same details.
