Adam, A= Date of sale B=State Sold or Given C= Type [s/S OR O/U]MAKE [AYA]Serial No123456 D=Name & Address of person selling Gun. E=Your Shotgun Certificate number F= Signature & Date.

And send a letter to your Firearms officer informing him that you sold your Shotgun to ? and tell the person that bought it to do like wise, hope i have not confused you to much.

you should already have the shotgun details etc, on your license from when you bought it, just copy all these details, again underneath yours, but with the buyers name, address, cert number

so i fill out a line on my certificate too then just the same as the dealer did on mine when i brought it but with his name and address?

I'm sure the FAO told me I would never have to write on my certificate again, doesn't the other guy fill in your form and you his?

Also you both need to send a covering letter to your regional Firearms office stating that you have either sold 'and placed into the permanent keeping' or 'taken permanent ownership of' the 'so and so' shotgun.

Assuming you don't both live in the same county/police area this will tie loose ends.

You don't need to send your cert's off, just cross the gun off yours and add it to his, your regional Police Firearms office will adjust the records accordingly.

yes!and send the white transfer form off within 7 days recorded delivery is best

As far as I'm aware if you're selling a gun then you fill in HIS cert, nothing gets written on yours.

 

Here's the form I use but it doesn't need to be anything official as long as it has this information on it

as colster says( i "sold" one to my brother yesterday). i filled in the section on his cert and wrote a letter to the firearms dept. as far as i'm aware nothing needs doing to mine. the feo is coming this week si i'll check with him and let you know if i've messed up

cheers lads and colster thanks for that link

[stubby 175]

my FAO told me never to cross out a gun on my ticket, it gets removed when you get a new cert on renewal

[clint 45]

NEVER write on your own cert.

 

YOU fill the new owners cert in , as in the boxes & what it asks above, date , sold, serial No, your name adress , signature ..etc

 

& post a written letter to your F.L.O stating you sold the gun to ......... with his details . Within 7 days.

 

easy
