Billy. Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Can someone tell me if there's a limit to how many 1 for 1s you can do. For some reason I've always been under the impression you get one free and then you pay a full variation fee. Could someone also talk me through the process for disposal of a firearm to authorise a 1 for 1, as I understand that if you dispose and have your FAC amended, you then can't apply for a 1 for 1, as it'd be an increase in the number of firearms you're allowed to hold.

al4x Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 you have to do it in a certain time frame so sell a rifle send the ticket in for the slot to be modified 1 for 1 and it comes back with a fresh permission to obtain XYZ slot. If you dispose of a gun and don't get the slot opened up in the timeframe then you pay again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Was talking to my FLO about this last week on behalf of a friend She said you first have to sell your current gun, send your paperwork in and tell them you have sold it but want a 1-1 variation, They then send it back with an empty slot for your new gun (must be same calibre) She said it was free of charge but never asked how many times you could do it shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 You can get a temporary ticket for a rifle if you ask nicely so you can then p/ex and replace in one hit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger955i Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 HI Mate For what its worth. Earlier in the year I put in for a variation for FAC air. As this was a new addition it cost me £26.00 Also I have just compleated a one for one with my .243. I went about this in the following order:- I identified the new rile I wanted. Then I took my old rifle and to the gunshop traded it in against the new one i.e. sold it to the gunshop and ordered the new one. Then wrote out the letter informing the sale of the old .243 and filled out the application form for the epty slot on my FAC. Once my FAC came through c/w the epty slot I collected the .243 and it was written in. then wrote to the police informing them of the purchase of the new rifle. Is this what you mean or are you refering to multiple 1 for 1s? ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 As far as I'm aware there is no limit, Also I know personally the swap DOES NOT have to be for the same calibre as I sold my 22lr and mod and did a 1for1 swap and got a slot for a 243 and Mod, no fee's!

garyb Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Herts are very good just phone them and ask what you want / need Last 1-for-1 I did, they just varied my certificate to include the new calibre I wanted, and left the old one on there - no charge.

In 2009 i put in 7 variations to my FAC and aside from the FEO saying "AGAIN, Mark, REALLY??" i've never had any problems You can get a temporary ticket for a rifle if you ask nicely so you can then p/ex and replace in one hit... I've been lead to believe there has NEVER been a Section 7 certificate issued since they were introduced, not even for when renewals go over time and its the FLD's fault Has anyone out there ever had one??

Billy. Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks chaps. I'll put it through as another 1 for 1 and bin the rifle. I would offer the gun for free to the forum, but I chopped the barrel myself, so It'd need proofing, which I am not paying for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 DIY we love it was that angle grinder or hacksaw Hacksaw followed by a bench grinder. It actually shoots quite well. I just don't like that it jams every other shot (it's a semi auto) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark I have had no end of S7 temporary permits. Every time I wish to change a rifle on a 1 for 1 basis I apply for the variation and have my existing rifle put on a S7 until I dispose of it. Doing it this way means I can buy the new one and dispose of the old one at my leisure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reading my post again. I didn't say that you definitely couldn't get an Section 7, i said i'd been lead to believe that, and then asked if anyone HAD been given one? :blink: Arguementative much?? If you have had one, giz a butchers! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) They then send it back with an empty slot for your new gun (must be same calibre) No need for it to be the same. It can be anything you like as long as you don't increase the number of "slots" on your FAC. I recently swapped a .243 for a 7-08, a .22 moderator for another .22 moderator and a .338 moderator slot I already had for a .223 rifle! I would offer the gun for free to the forum, but I chopped the barrel myself, so It'd need proofing, which I am not paying for. It only needs proofing if the thickness of the barrel has been reduced. You can cut it down and sell it on with no change to proof - the problem comes if you have screwcut it as you have reduced the thickness of a part of the barrel that was thicker (and therefore stronger) when it was initially proofed. So shorten is fine - made thinner by removing material to put a thread on isn't. EDIT... Oh and you can do loads of them! I think I've done about seven or eight in three years!
