cockercas Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 You mean a shot gun on no licence put onto your shot gun licence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Depends on why the said gun is off ticket . If a family heirloom or a gun found in an attic or some widows husbands gun then contact your local fire arms department and they will putit on your ticket . If from your local drug dealer or found hidden with a stash of bank notes ,stay well clear . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Iirc I read something like this before in a shooting mag. Carnt remember the answer but I do remember it saying that it is in home office guidelines to turn a blind eye and put it on a certificate because its in there favour to know were the gun is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Its dodgy, it can go both ways, unless somebody has died and you found it among their things.It might be better to wait until something like that has happened and "find" it.

Scully Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 You don't say whether it's a shotgun or firearm,or if you have both SGC and FAC,but assuming you have both,take it along to your local RFD.If it's a shotgun he can simply transfer it to your SGC after transfering it to his register.If it's a firearm and you don't have the relevant slot,he can't register it onto your FAC until you have the slot,nor can he allow you to take it away with you,but he can store it until you get the relevant variation. I did this with a section 1 shotgun some time ago,then discovered it had never been proofed!It is on my ticket as 'given'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceman Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Interesting / scary article in the current Farmers Weekly which is slightly relevant... http://www.fwi.co.uk/Articles/2011/04/01/126181/Farmers-warned-over-falling-foul-of-gun-laws.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcooke25552 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 So if fo example you found your grandads gun or something after he has passed, what's the procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 To get a reasoned response far more detail is required, but put simply, if it isn't dodgy talk to a RFD or your Region! Not generally too much of a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinbox99 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thats an interesting link. Find it hard to believe tho that a charity shop worker who found a gun dumped outside her shop would be locked up though. When my uncle who was a farmer died, we had to sort out loads of shotguns he had. For us it was just a case of adding them to my SGC. Letter was sent to police same as when I buy a gun, saying these were my uncles, he`s passed on, here are the details and they are now mine. He actually had several guns which were not registered on his license. I had no problems with them going onto mine and subsequently sold them off with no problems.

wy111 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 how do i get a gun that is off ticket to be on my ticket Same as I did, talked to my FEO(Here we could go again with different regions ) about finding in it my old man's loft when clearing out the house to sell. Said, just write a letter explaining the find and want to put it on you ticket. No problem The main thing is, if not a registered shotgun/firearm, it is one more off the unknown and now it is "on record" The only thing is, how did you come across it?

daz2202 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 i inherited an off ticket gun that was in a family members loft when he died, i took it to the local gun shop, they kept it for 24 hours and done some checks on it to make sure it hadnt been used ilegally etc etc. they called me next day to come and collect it and signed it onto my ticket and sent the paperwork off to the firearms office. no probs at all.
