he needs to complete table 2 of your certificate ensuring he signs and dates it you both then need to inform your relative firearms dept. either by letter or using the form they send out with your license ensure you give them all the relevent details, make,model,gauge,seriel number who you had it from and their certificate number.

Main rule is you never write on your own SGC. The seller must fill in section 2 of your certificate and then you both have to inform your relevant fierams departments.

Its a good question though as loads of people get caught out by this. I know every time i buy or sell a gun I have to read and re-read the instructions before I remember what to do.

Hi:

This is what I do (Devon & Cornwall Constabulary).

I send a letter to the Firearms admin, stating (e.g.) that 'I have sold the Winchester OU 12G shotgun Serial Noxxx xxx into the permanent keeping of Mr XX of Address 'so and so'

Shotgun Certificate number xxxxx-xxxxxxx.

Please remove this shotgun from my Certificate No yyyyy-yyyyyy.

Thats it!

It's worked for me fine for over 35 years and 'many' guns.

Hope this helps!

As Andy says, a simple letter stating the serial of the gun, the name, address and SGC number of the buyer and your own SGC number should do the job. You don't have to use any form that the police try and get you to, although often they have boxes that tell you what you need to put, so can be helpful.
