Just wanted to see if I'm doing this right before setting pen to paper, perhaps someone can confirm how its done.
I've got a Martini Henry MkIV .577/.450 on Section 58 in my safe, I've now got my FAC renewal back with a Authorisation slot on it for the same. Do I just write the details in Table 1 & do I put myself down as the seller ??? Thanks.

When I did this everyone I spoke to had a different way of doing, usually conflicting.
So I just sent a letter and my FAC back to the Police and asked them to add it to their system and print me off a new licence.
If I was to do it again I'd just find a friendly RFD and get them to sign the gun onto their books, then transfer it to me as a regular S1 firearm.
Phoned them today, and they say you can't write it in yourself, send it in & they will fill it in. Oh well, here goes again.....

Section 58 of the act says you can have one without a firearms certificate, i.e. you dont need to hold a ticket, if & only if you dont shoot them. If you manufacture your own rounds for them to shoot, then you need the rifle transferred onto a section 1 FAC. I bought mine from the USA, it came through customs & was delivered direct to my office with no problems, as soon as its written onto my FAC I have to keep it in the safe.

When I placed some section 58(2) on my licence, I was told to put myself down as the seller and autherisation as 58(2)
Interesting. That I think exemplifies what a mess our firearms legislation really is. Exactly the same law, being applied to the same set of circumstances, and yet 2 different police forces applying that law arrive at 2 different interpretations. Laws should be crystal clear, not open to interpretation.
