Gun Scrapping Service

If you have a family heirloom that you wish to keep on the wall or just don't want to scrap the gun and want to keep it then I can deactivate it for so you can legally possess the firearm and hold it without a certificate and not have to have it kept in a security cabinet. 

After deactivating the gun in my workshop I must send it to one of the two British Proof Houses for inspection. (twice)

It will be then issued a European certificate of deactivation. 


Prices are dependant on the type of firearm. Therefore this service is POA.


Beware when purchasing deactivated firearms from an antique or any other shop. On 28 June 2018 revised deactivation standards came into effect so it must come with the new style European certificate otherwise the seller is breaking the law. And as of 12 December 2019 you must also notify Home Office Serious Violence Unit of the transfer either before the transfer takes place or, as soon as reasonably practicable after the transfer.

Deactivation Service 

If you have a section 1 or section 2 firearm that is either no longer wanted and valueless, uneconomical to repair, or in dangerous condition and want it lawfully and legally disposed of then you can bring it to me for disposal or destruction. Working guns for disposal will be passed on to our export service provider. Dangerous or non working guns will scrapped in house. 

It's quite a simple process. I take the gun, book it into my register and then give you a receipt so you can notify your firearms department (within 7 days) that you have disposed of the firearm to me. That's all there is to it.

There is an admin fee to dispose of a firearm to me which is £30.00. The cost to scrap a firearm is £60.00.
