im afraid they are right mate if you sell a rifle and want another of the same calibre you must apply for a variation within 7 days for it to be free otherwise yo pay the £26.thats what happened to me years ago anyway with the 243.

I'm not sure I agree with this (or it's certainly not the case in North Yorks). You must let them know you have sold/purchased within 7 days to be free, variations to clear slots (1 for 1) can then be done at any time.

It state on license,certificate. There is no garantee, you permit the calibre you sell.

If you do not inform the licence office, you wish to do 1 rifle for 1 rifle. They take off your licence, then you have to re-aply. Alway state to firearm office you wish to replace sold rifle with alternate calibre rifle or pistol.
