Evening,
I was reading the guide on firearms licencing earlier. I was actually searching for something else but stumbled across a 2019 amendment about deactivated firearms. I must say I had assumed once they were deactivated correctly they weren't regulated as such. If I have read that right every time a deactivated firearm is sold or transferred the Home Office need to be notified via the appropriate form?
Does that mean I could transfer / gift a deactivated firearm (to someone in my family for example) directly with no involvement from an RFD / FEO etc as long as I fill out and send off the appropriate paperwork? I don't need any prior approval?
Is that correct or have I missed something here with regards to deactivated guns?
Cheers

Re: Selling deactivated firearm
Its a bit of a pointless minefield....
However, my understanding such that it is, is that you can only sell/transfer a current post 2017 EU spec de-act. If it's an older pre-95 or pre-17 spec it can't be sold or transferred.

True, although I guess when I collect it from the RFD they will send the paperwork away & register it to me?bradaz11 wrote:Or of course you / they had it the whole time....
