Deactivating

[tlennox]

I have a really old hammer gun, that I was given by someone not renewing the certificate. It's quite badly pitted and I don't fancy shooting it, I was just going to hand it in but my old man wants it to mount with some old paper carts as it's quite a tidy looking gun. How much should I expect to pay to get it deactivated and what is the process, thanks in advance.

Give Wabbit Bosher a shout he offers this and all his services are reasonable.

You can legally do the chopping/cutting work yourself then have the gun submitted to one of the Proof Houses for a deactivation certificate.

 

If the condition is as bad as you say it may be out of proof anyway so can come off ticket without too much drama

if I remember correctly I was thinking about doing this once but the cost was to much it worked out about 180.00

I had one done a couple of years ago, £95 including all paperwork, etc.

There is quite a lot of work involved in deactivation ,I recon around £75 pus the proof house certification fee of £35[?] . The cost of sending to proof and back as a one off could set you back another £50 . Not a job I like or want to do .
