Seeing as I cant legally buy ammo I dont think I could receive it from anyone else as they would just let me buy it in the first place. Strangely though I can stock up before my extension ends and use it legally .....the whole thing is crazy. Just wish I had my certs just for peace of mind as it has just been lingering on in my mind for 6 months now... Quote Link to post

All depends on how good your firearms dept is. It is something of a postcode lottery , some are incredibly efficient and others are dire! Quote Link to post
David.evans 5,323 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I don’t know if I was to gift 100 x223 made up by myself and was entered on the recipient ticket would us both be breaking the law I could always give the firearms a ring Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 How can it be wrong to obtain ammunition for a firearm one is authorised to have in possession and use? Nothing has been surrendered or revoked!! Crack on. Quote Link to post
David.evans 5,323 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 SD it clearly states you cannot buy ammo and your rfd would not sell it to you a way Quote Link to post

So you can’t buy ammo or receive it from anyone else because you don’t have a ticket to sign it onto but if you reload you just crack on as normal and you are well within your right to stock up to your limit before your extension expires, what a complete shambles, I’m sure you won’t run out of ammo, but they are taking the pi*s with these renewals I think there’s 2 years left on mine, I’d better get it sent in now 1 2 Quote Link to post

How on earth can it be policed? I was once turned down a 357 carbine because they were worried I might supply the criminal world with ammo! I pointed out that at the time there was pistol clubs up and down the country and how or where is that part of my responsibility with regards to providing a good reason to use said carbine.
