mushroom 13,254 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Spoke to the firearms dept in UK the other day as I'm having issues with something and they told me it is now illegal to sell an air rifle without the involvment of a reg firearms dealer. Anyone shed light on this?? Quote Link to post
jonah. 775 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 That's not correct for sub 12. Classifieds are full of people trading within the law. The rules around mail order and delivery are complicated as most carriers won't accept them, maybe that's what he was referring to.... Quote Link to post
mushroom 13,254 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Basically my ex had taken my gun from my mums and sold it. So I've reported the theft to the police they advised me to contact her and try the civil route........ Typical woman no easy route so now taking it as a criminal theft but the firearms officer told me that selling them carries a heavy penalty! Quote Link to post

treecreeper 1,136 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 No law on selling second hand guns unless its to an under 18 or a person restricted by other laws. You can send a gun by post legaly but a dealer can't sell you one since the 2005 vcr act came in. 1 Quote Link to post
