Zetter Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 You need to do what's called a one for one variation. So you have to sell your current hmr. Then fill out a form 201v and post it together with your certificate to your firearms office requesting a one for one variation from a HMR to another HMR They will then remove your old hmr and give you a new slot for another HMR allowing you to buy a new one.

telf Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 if its a 455 and you just want a shorter barrel apply for a variation for another barrel change barrels and sell the longer one , or just get the barrel chopped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Just getting the barrel cut down would be by far the simplest option depending on if you like your current rifle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontastic Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 I'm no expert, but wouldn't it make more sense to allow rfd to be able to do a one for one swap of guns of the same calibre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it would, but that requires a bit of common sense, which as we all know is in very short supply!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been raised/discussed for years! I simply can't see the problem, and takes a little weight of the Firearms Licencing Departments!

ordnance Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yes it saves a lot of time and hassle. Quote The Justice (Northern Ireland) Act 2011 For some time a system has been in place to allow “one off – one on” exchanges of shotguns in Northern Ireland. From 1st December 2011 the system was extended to other firearms. The exchange of rifles and pistols may only take place with registered firearms dealers (not between certificate holders) and firearms may only be exchanged for another of the “same calibre and type”.
