How do I RFD a gun and what are the approximate cost

[bang bang birdy]

Hi

I'm in the process of selling a rifle, I live in Oxfordshire and the buyer lives in Scotland. How to I go about sending it and what are the rough costs. I've never sold a gun like this before so this is all new to me.

Thanks

Take your rifle to your RFD, who will send it to the buyers RFD. Cost is usually around the 25 quid mark at both ends.

From 25 to 50 both ends depending on the RFD.

You will also need your buyers RFD's name address and RFD number so yours can get in touch with them,

 

As said its roughly £25 each end, best way is for each party to pay their own end,

 

DON'T securely wrap it before taking it to your RFD as he will need to check numbers etc before he sends it.

 

It's a lot easier than most people think.

As above. Usually, the buyers RFD will send a FAX copy of their licence, and then the firearm can be sent. One of my RFD's have upped their charge to £37.00, which is £25.00 for doing the paperwork, and then £12.00 for the actual cost of sending the firearm.
