ferretmanabu Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi guys, Just needed some advice on what to fill out when selling a shotgun. If I am selling the gun, do I only need to fill out the details on the certificate of the person to who I am selling the gun or do I need to write something on mine too? Thanks.

karl h Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 if you contact your local force they can give some forms to fill in to notify them of any changes or sales you have made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palombier Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 FMA. The rule of thumb is that you never write on your own certificate, therefore as you rightly said,you only have to write the details of the sale on table 2 of his certificate. You both then have to notify your respective firearm licensing office(s) in writing within seven days, by recorded post of the nature and details of the transaction. regards P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEFTY478 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 The only time you write on your own certificate is, when you sign it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 If you are selling :- Cross out the details of the gun in table 2 on your cert Fill out table 2 on his/her cert, where is asks for your authority to sell put your SGC no Write to your firearms licensing department informing them of the particulars of the gun and person to whom it was sold (makers name, gauge and serial no. as well as the SGC no and full name and address of who you sold it to) [ or RFD no if you chopped it in] If you are buying you need not write anything, but check the details match. Write and inform the plod you bought it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretmanabu Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks for all the replies guys. It's been a while since I bought a gun so I'd forgotten the procedure. I'd completely forgot about informing the police but now it comes back to me. I even still have the forms for informing the police when I buy/sell a gun.
