New fac

[Bevwallis 7]

Hi All

 

My 'Ole man just got his FAC through and went out yesterday to buy a new gun.

 

My question is as follows:

 

It states on the cert that he needs to now notify the issuing CO of Police that he now owns this gun.

Can someone please tell me now he goes about this please?

 

His cert has been filled out by seller etc ok it just isnt clear what he needs to do yet

 

Thankyou

you need to send them a letter saying what gun he bought and where from etc need to put the number down too and send it recorded mate

West Yorks will accept notification by e-mail,,,,,,which is handy.

The recorded bit is important, people have been chastised for sending it ordinary mail.

 

Also don't know if this works elsewhere but Derbyshire Police accept a single notification from a RFD provided it is from within the county, leaving you nothing to do.

the northern constabulry sends a letter for which the dealer and you fill in. it has usualy 4 spaces for firearms, each one states make and model,type,calibre,date that it was acquired and how it was acquired bought given etc. then both the dealer and yourself sign the bottom he sends away his copy and you send away a copy too. the northern constabulary will issue these forms when you are granted a new fac or whenever you get your cert back from a variation. obviously this is not the case in your county but it seems to work well up here.
