KimE 487 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Our Swedish government has made a proposition to make silencers license free, now you need a firearm permit for the silencer alone which costs ~30£. The new law makes silencer equal to ammunition (you show your firearm license then you buy ammo) the new law a supposed to come in force 1july. The rules for traveling in and out of the country with silencers are also going to change. Im not sure how different calibers are going to be treated as you usually dont get a permit for silencer on rimfires now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,478 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Time was when Sound Moderators were really hard to get a slot for in the UK, and there was very little choice as well. The youngsters on this site will be scratching there heads as Sound mods are now easy to get on ticket, and the choice is plentiful here these days, just the same a mod still needs its own slot on our FAC's. To be honest I have not been abroad with any guns for a while, and my Firearms Passport for the EU is now defunct, so I need to check what I'll need to do for my next hunting trip to France!!

KimE 487 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 The rule now (until of1july) is what you need a permit/licence for you silencer if you want to bring it to Sweden and it needs to be marked with a individual numbers, so its a problem if you come from a country there you dont need a permit for it.

This is about the same for me. One time On renewal of my cert I asked for an extra silencer and was told that I couldn't have another one on my cert because I could just use the one that I'd got on the other rifles.! On the next renewal the FOE was totally the opposite. He suggested me having a different silencer for every rifle and a spare slot in case I wanted tò get something different. They just make it up as they go along. The trouble is that no one has got the want or the balls to sort stuff like this out. They renewed my European firearms pass just a few months before Brexit. It's crazy times that we chart now. In future times it might become a collector's curio. It is one already. How many people ever had two European firearms passes.? One for firearms and the other for shotguns.? Edited December 1, 2021 by Meece Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In Sweden are a shotgun a firearm and it would be added just like any firearm on the passport. I waited two months for my firearm passport then I walked in to the local policestation and the women twho handels firearm applications just wrote it in with a pen (2013).

My previous had shotguns included on the same pass, hand written.............. so did my latest, the format changed though and it was typed, whatever, they are no use anymore.

Meece 1,957 Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) I can imagine the gendamerie looking at that load of scrawl with a kid's crayon and saying..... ( in pigeon French like the French... Alo.Alo policeman). .. what is theese.? Edit... how come that if plod can just write entries on there so can you.? In theory you could go to another country get a weapon, bring it back here, erase that weapon from the cert and you'd have an off ticket weapon. It ain't going to happen but,,,,,, Edited December 7, 2021 by Meece Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KimE 487 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Now have I bought a Stalon Victor silencer without need for a license , I do need a license for for rifle of a fitting cal. and it must be threaded with a fitting thread to be legal. If I sell my threaded rifle the silencer are illegal to posess , to sell the silencer I have to check if the buyer has a licence for the rifle and has to try it on to see so it fits the threads I do not have to register who the buyer is(It still very confusing rules the government and the police have different interpretation of the new law).

Meece 1,957 Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Another crazy thing is that if you want a silencer for a non fac air rifle you don't need a slot for it. But if you want it for say a .22 rd then you do have to have a slot for it on the fax for that rifle.... even though it might be the same silencer. .? Now if you were using a silencer which had been alocated for an air rifle on an fax rifle which didn't have a slot alocation then you could be in the poop ..but who would really know and what difference does it make anyway. Like when they didn't want anyone to have one and then total reversal. ..yiu can have as many as you like. Crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
