How to Sell Your Firearms in the UK

Selling firearms in the UK involves following strict legal procedures to ensure that both the seller and buyer comply with the law. Here's how the process works when selling your firearm to us:

​

1. Contact Us for a Valuation

Start by reaching out to our team with details about the firearm you wish to sell. We will need the following information:

• Make and model of the firearm.

• Condition and any modifications.

• Relevant certificates and documentation.

• Any accessories included (e.g., scopes, cases, etc.).

Based on this information, we will provide a preliminary valuation of your firearm.

​

2. Arrange an Inspection

Once you agree to proceed, we will arrange a convenient time for an inspection. Our licensed professionals will assess the firearm’s condition in person, either at our facility or through a registered firearms dealer (RFD) near you.

​

3. Transfer of Ownership

The legal transfer of a firearm requires the involvement of a Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD) or a certified transfer to ensure the process is compliant with UK law. The firearm will need to be securely delivered to us or an RFD for final inspection and transfer.

​

4. Payment

Once the inspection is complete and the transfer is finalized, we will offer you a final valuation based on the condition and market demand. After you agree, we will provide secure payment via bank transfer or other agreed methods.

Legal Requirements for Selling Firearms in the UK

 

The sale of firearms in the UK is strictly regulated, and it’s essential to follow all legal procedures to ensure compliance with the law:

• Firearm or Shotgun Certificate: The seller must possess a valid Firearm or Shotgun Certificate for the firearm being sold. This certificate should be up-to-date and issued by the local police authority.

• Registered Transfer: The firearm must be transferred through a Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD) or another licensed body to ensure that the sale is tracked and recorded with the relevant authorities.

• Background Checks for Buyers: We only buy firearms from individuals who meet legal requirements, ensuring that all firearms are transferred to licensed dealers or certificate holders.

• Firearm Storage: Until the transfer, the firearm must be securely stored in a Home Office-approved gun safe in line with UK regulations.
