Hi what form do You think You need? When i was selling a rifle private i did the transfer.You fill in the relevant sections on the certificate of the person buying it from You if this is not a gun shop buying it.You then need to inform your firearms department of the sale.if You intend to get another rifle of the same cal or even a different cal do it on a one for one variation as long as its done within seven days its free of charge. well it is in my county but dont do what i did and leave it a month because it costs another 26 quid.i dont know of any form You need.hope this helps a little if im wrong i stand correcting. Cheers rich

Been thinking if You mean the form You send off to let the police know You have sold or transfered a firearm or shotgun i think You can down load them off the firearms licencing section of the police website.i just write a letter and fax it.i call them a few days later to make sure they have received it.cheers

You're supposed to send the letter recorded delivery. Helps you when they lose it, you can show them the receipt.

Cheers lads but all of the above i already new ,but i have also seen a form which i have also usedwhilst selling a firearm in the past but cant remember where i got it from.

Your local police firearms department might have their own form that they like you to use, give them a ring and ask. You don't HAVE to use the form, it just helps you to make sure they've got all the information they need I suppose.

 

I just write a letter stating date, time, name, address and certificate number of seller/purchaser and myself, serial number, make, model and calibre, that the weapon was transferred and that I completed the relevant parts of their certificate, or vice versa. They should also write to their licencing department stating that they have sold or acquired the weapon.
