steve_b_wales Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 You get your local RFD to have the gun sent to him. Then they will add the gun to your certificate. There is a charge for this, which is approx £25 per RFD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Done this a few times and works without a hitch usually. Only problem I have ever had is not with the process but some dealers seem to get their guide dogs to describe the condition of some guns. Got caught twice by so called reputable dealers describing something as mint for it to turn up looking like they had knocked nails in with them. Although apart from the inconvenience you are protected under distance selling regs so just re returned for a full refund. I insist they go over the gun on the phone with me now to make sure it is as described. Edited May 10, 2011 by Dibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 personally I wouldn't bother, buying guns unseen really isn't worth it for the sake of a few quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I would still rather spend the money on petrol, go up and have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 RFD to RFD is really only worth it on a gun that is very rare that you have no chance of finding due to being as rare as hens teeth, Generally it`s damn expensive way of doing things. on a side note anyone tried that new direct to door firearms courier??

Mark-70 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I had a gun sent from continental shooting supplies in Scotland to my RFD in cornwall. Continental charged me nothing and my RFD charged me £15 to receive it, gun was a good price too! Result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I thought the £25 to send was £15 TNT and £10 profit not £25 and courier fees! If you have a good rep with a local RFD they dont actually incur any costs putting gun onto and off their register. Speak to the sendign and recieving RFD and check the costs and procedures for refund etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-70 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Forgot to say that I obviously paid continental the carriage which was as said £15 with TNT. But no transfer fee. Which I thought was good of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
