Thread: What is the actual process for sending a firearm

I got a blank form, contacted the seller to get his address, license number etc. filled in my details and took it back.

The AO then took the form back, and after 10 minutes came out with a letter printed on Police letterhead.

They are checking the details of both the seller and buyer, for instance the guy I bought from had moved and not let them know his new address, so my AO was going to contact his AO to remind him about the requirement for notifying the police about address change.

Would imagine that the are effectively recording sales as well and building a register behind the scenes, not like this is news to anyone...

Bottom line is how much do you want to get the new firearm ? If you start giving your AO grief, he/she can make life pretty unpleasant for you. It sucks that different AOs seem to be singing from different hymn sheets, but hey, that's the way the cookie crumbles...
