ste eibar Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hi there I'm after some clarification on buying face to face. This morning I phoned a bloke selling a 223 on Gunstar it seemed like a good deal so I said I'll take it and pick it up on Sunday. He said you can only buy through an rfd now face to face is illegal now. I'm waiting on a reply from Northumbria firearms team. He was in Essex are there different rules in different regions? Steve.

Dave-G Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Probably meant being face to face is illegal re covid distancing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste eibar Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I haven't bought any guns for a couple of years and thought I must have missed something. He was wanting me to send my license down to his rfd that was when I decided it wasn't for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 He could also be worried about that recent incident when a bloke got his firearm stolen when someone came to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face to face isn’t illegal, and as much as I don’t like the idea of sending my ticket to a RFD, that is in fact the correct procedure.

bluesj Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Not wanting to do a face to face deal would start alarm bells ringing for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Obviously you are willing to travel, why not suggest meeting them in their local RFD to do the sale/transfer.
