sbald Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Write it on your certificate and inform the firearms dept(by registered post) of the gun make,model,type and serial number and the person giving the guns details. My firearms dept provide a form to fill in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triscrx Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Devon & Cornwall have the forms on their site to download, check your local police site and see if they have a section dedicated to shooting the form layout maybe there. You can just inform them in writing though mate no need for the form tbh as long as the main details are there make Type Serial No date obtained from who I always send a letter with the forms I send in anyway summarising the transaction so there is no confusion. Also make sure its sent 1st class recorded delivery. And usually its common practice for you to have to inform them within 7 days of obtaining the firearm so do it asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
