Selling a firearm via RFD

[Sirius1963]

Whats the procedure for selling a rifle to a 3rd party using a RFD to post, in particular, who is responsible for what regarding the FAC entries? I hope its simply a case of the RFD accepting the gun, taking a copy of my FAC, making an entry on my certificate, and at the other end, the reverse takes place with the RFD and new owner?

1. Obtain purchaser's FAC
2. Check vacant slot
3.Fill in purchaser's FAC with details of rifle
4. Notify your FLD
5. Take rifle & purchaser's FAC to RFD
6. Give money to RFD to post both rifle & FAC to recipient's nominated RFD
7. Get receipt off your RFD.

You are. It is the RFD at the other end who when the buyer presents his FAC that you have completed checks the weapon he has (sent from you to him) is the same as on the buyer's FAC and then hands it to him/her face to face.

Recommendation is the FAC is sent separate to the firearm.

You could alternatively post by secure carrier to recipient's RFD and return their FAC directly to them

Just done this for new rifle. FAC to dealer,filled in and posted back to me. Rifle arrived 4 days later at local RFD, picked up on production of my FAC.
One thing to be aware of:- £30 to seller also £30 to local RFD. So be prepared to add £60 to price agreed with seller.

Selling A Rifle

OK so I’m sure this has been done to death elsewhere but bear with me please as I’m not the brightest match in the box and like to be certain about such things. The scenario/challenge: A Stalking Directory member wishes to purchase one of my rifles but is at the other end of the country...
