The dealer in question told me they had to transfer it to their ownership ( even when selling on behalf) as there was a prospect they would have it in their poseesion for more then 28 days. Seems they simply didn't do it.

And they had sold it, and I'd been paid which didnt happen straight away either. Swung past the shop and saw it wasnt there any longer, and that was ~ 10 days before I got paid.

Should also add that shop assistant A ( who I dealt with when I dropped the rifle off) said "You don't need to do anything, we will pull it off 'your' register onto ours". After being paid and noting it was still lodged against me I went back to the shop to enquire and assistant B said " No, both parties have to do it". So thats when I tried to do it, couldn't do anything online so got on the phone, and the rest you know ....

Nothing particularly remarkable about the people in the shop not being on their game, but the fact it is now sold but still registered to me suggests one of:

- the new owner has been slack and hasn't registered it, but I'd have thought the shop would have insisted?

- the new owner has registered it, but the system ( or the people involved) havent reacted to the same rifle being held by two different people contemporaneously.

Neither possible explanation fills me with confidence.
