The reasons for selling a hunting rifle can vary. Perhaps the desire to become an avid hunter remains a dream. Perhaps the owner of the weapon decided to replace it with a more modern model or he just urgently needs money.
The main thing is that the list of reasons should not include the desire to get rid of “junk”, because if the weapon does not meet the requirements for it, most likely, the efforts spent on selling it will not bring the desired “dividends”. The only exception is when a hunting rifle is sold to a restorer who knows exactly what he is buying and why.
Attempts to deceive the buyer, to find a newcomer who does not understand the topic, are most likely doomed to failure, since modern consumers are well-versed, if not practically, then at least theoretically. There are quite a lot of specialized weapons sites on the Internet, by visiting which the future hunter will find out exactly what he should pay attention to when buying a used gun.
Therefore, before proceeding with the sale, it should be brought into proper condition. Repair, adjust, clean. The main thing is that the game is worth the trouble - other guns are easier to dispose of than to ensure proper performance.
Personal attitude and reality
Therefore, experts strongly recommend that you take a realistic approach to the situation and before you start complex procedure sales of used guns, it is necessary to evaluate how much it can even claim the status of a competitive product. Perhaps the weapon is very dear to you personally, and you know all its “cracks” and know how to handle it and adapt to its features, but you should not count on a similar attitude from the buyer. He has his own considerations and reasons.
And everything is simple here.
- The number of shots fired and the age of the weapon. The larger and higher they are, respectively, the more difficult it will be to sell a gun, because it is not wine and does not increase in price over time.
- Compliance of weapons with the requirements set out in the law. In this case we're talking about about Article 6 of the relevant regulatory legal act. By contacting it, we will find out what restrictions are set for turnover civilian weapons. Here you need to understand that the legal status of a gun in itself does not mean that you have the right to sell it. If you bought it before the latest edition of the Federal Law “On Weapons” came into force, a conflict may arise: you can own a gun, but you can no longer dispose of it, since its circulation is limited. The same applies to cases of weapon improvement, which are not at all rare. But, if they have led to the fact that the gun no longer meets the requirements of the law, you will have to abandon the idea of selling it or be puzzled by returning the weapon to its original condition. If this is even possible. And those owners will have a really hard time firearms, who received it “inherited” from grandfathers and great-grandfathers who did not have any destructive documents. It is almost impossible to legalize such weapons today. The only thing left is to hand him over to the police for a very symbolic reward. Or keep it in hopes of changing the law. But in the latter case, it should be remembered that such an action is a direct violation of the law and is punishable by liability, including criminal liability.
How to sell: yourself or through an intermediary?
Of course, it is more profitable to sell weapons yourself, because each “assistant” has his own “margin.” On the other hand, it's easier said than done. Let's say you decide to act on your own. In this case, you can connect all your friends and acquaintances. Perhaps among them there is someone who knows someone who would like to buy a gun. It’s great if a buyer is found immediately in the immediate environment. But here you need to be extremely frank, talking about the slightest shortcomings of the gun being sold. Otherwise, be prepared to listen to complaints about his work in the future or even quarrel with your friend. But, if you followed our recommendation from previous section and have prepared the goods well for sale, you have nothing to fear - your conscience will be clear, and you will not have to blush for the transaction.
But what if you failed to sell the gun to members of your inner circle? Place an ad on specialized websites or in a newspaper? It's possible, but it's fraught. Just think about how you will display your weapon? Will you invite strangers, busy searching for him, to their home? Or will you meet with them on neutral territory? Both are difficult and quite dangerous. Yes, and it’s very time-consuming.
Therefore, it is much more reasonable and expedient to use the services of intermediaries. We are talking about specialized consignment stores that can be entrusted with selling guns. True, there are a lot of nuances here too. Firstly, according to the rules of commission trading, the seller can and will even reduce the price in stages until he sells the goods. This means that there is a possibility that you will not get the money you initially expected for your gun.
Secondly, if for some reason you want to pick up the weapon later (for example, you find a buyer yourself), you will have to fill out a bunch of papers, since, according to the law, the right to the gun is transferred to the latter the moment it is transferred to the store. Accordingly, you lose it, and to get it back, you need to apply for a permit to store weapons again.
Paperwork
In any case, you can’t go anywhere without her. And first of all, you will have to notify the police of your intention to part with the gun by contacting the authority that issued you permission to store weapons.
If we are talking about a shotgun, then your efforts will be reduced to writing the appropriate application and receiving confirmation from law enforcement officials that you have notified them of the upcoming sale. It's a different matter when it comes to a rifled barrel. Here you will also have to go through the control shooting procedure. Based on its results, the owner of the gun is issued a corresponding protocol.
With all these documents, as well as your own passport, weapons passport and weapons license, you can safely go to the store or advertise on the website. If you act through a store, then based on the results of the sale, it will give you a duplicate of the notification about the upcoming sale that you handed in earlier, on which (make sure this is the case) there will be a mark about the sale of the weapon. This is a very important and serious document! Therefore, store and protect it for at least ten years.
Important point!
Article 20 of the Federal Law “On Weapons” allows owners to sell guns to other citizens, legal entities and paramilitary organizations, but only on the condition that the buyer (whoever he is) has the appropriate license. For citizens - for purchasing and collecting, for legal entities also for trade.
Therefore, no matter who you ultimately decide to sell your gun to, you will first have to make sure that he has the appropriate permits. And this is another argument in favor of a consignment store, because in this sense it is much easier to cooperate with it.

Do I need to re-register inherited weapons?
You cannot store a weapon after the death of the owner, without notifying the police! Since the one who keeps the weapon can be brought to administrative responsibility for illegal possession of smooth-bore weapons and criminal liability for possession of rifled weapons.
There is control by the internal affairs bodies over the circulation of civilian weapons; all owners are specially registered. Immediately or later, a local inspector or employees of the licensing and permitting department will contact the heirs or the place where the weapons are stored and the offense will be identified.
LRR (licensing and permitting) departments promptly receive information about deaths of weapon owners from the FMS.
The order of inheritance of hunting weapons
The procedure for inheriting weapons, including hunting rifles, is regulated by Art. 1180 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to which the inheritance of weapons is carried out on general principles and no special permission is required to accept such an inheritance. In accordance with the Law on Weapons, the heir (heirs), after the death of the testator, having ascertained the presence of a hunting rifle or carbine as part of the inheritance, must transfer it to the internal affairs body for safekeeping.
After you report that the owner of the weapon has died, police officers must arrive at the address where he previously lived and seize the weapon. In this case, a protocol of seizure is drawn up in 2 copies, one copy is given to the heir. The heir himself cannot carry or take the weapon to the internal affairs body, this is illegal, since you do not have permission to store and carry weapons.
The weapons will be stored in a special premises of the Ministry of Internal Affairs until the issue of inheritance is resolved. Weapons are stored free of charge and the question of their sale is not raised.
Storing weapons after the death of its owner same place, not provided for by current legislation.
The heirs, in the usual manner, contact the notary (who must also inform the internal affairs body as soon as it establishes that the inheritance includes weapons) with an application to accept the inheritance or issue a certificate of the right to inheritance and submit the necessary documents:
The notary opens the inheritance case, carries out the necessary checks and, after six months from the date of opening of the inheritance, issues the heir a certificate of the right to inheritance.
By the time of receiving a certificate of the right to inherit a hunting rifle or carbine, the heir must obtain a license(s) to purchase weapons for the purpose of further storage or storage and carrying of weapons. Based on the license, you will receive a weapon from the internal affairs bodies and then register it.
To register an inheritance, the following documents are required:
For the design of a smoothbore hunting rifle
If you want to keep the gun, you will need a gun license.
To do this, contact the Department of the Russian Guard for licensing and permitting at your place of residence and submit the following documents:
After receiving a license and a certificate of inheritance, the smoothbore hunting rifle will be registered in the licensing and permitting department of the territorial department of the Russian Guard and the heir will be issued a permit to store weapons or a permit to store and carry weapons.
If for any objective reasons the heir is denied a license, then the weapon must be sold within a year. If the gun is not sold by the heir himself within this time, then this will be done forcibly.
For registration of rifled hunting weapons
Unlike smoothbore, a license to purchase rifled weapons can only be obtained if you have at least 5 years of experience in owning smooth-bore weapons, and the period of responsible storage of a gun in the department of the Russian Guard is one year.
If your experience in owning a smooth-bore weapon is less than 5 years, then you will have to sell a carbine (rifled weapon).
Valuation of a gun or carbine for inheritance registration
The assessment is necessary so that the notary, taking into account the cost of the weapon and the degree of relationship of the former owner and heir, can correctly calculate the amount of state duty paid when issuing a certificate of inheritance.
In order to evaluate the weapon, the heir turns to specialists from an appraisal company, which is granted the right to evaluate the weapon. In our store we issue a report on the cost of weapons, which Moscow notaries also accept.
For the purpose of determining market value hunting weapons The heir must provide our experts with the following documents for review:
Based on the results of the gun assessment, a specialist draws up a report, which is handed over to the heir. This document is presented by the heir to the notary.
How to inherit a weapon
Weapons are a very specific property and not everyone will be happy to receive such an inheritance from a deceased relative. The circulation of weapons in our country is strictly controlled by the police. Nevertheless, it is subject to inheritance on a general basis: by law or by will.
The procedure for registering a weapon as an inheritance
Inheritance of weapons after death is carried out on a general basis. The composition of the hereditary mass may include civil, hunting and military weapon(Article 20 of the Law “On Weapons”). The ban on inheritance applies only to military and short-barreled weapons. When the owner dies, such weapons must be transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs within the time limits established by law.
The first thing every heir needs to do after the death of the testator is to contact a notary and obtain a certificate of title to the property. Registration of a weapons certificate is carried out as usual.
No additional permissions are required to enter into inheritance rights.
But heirs should understand the difference between inheritance rights and the right to use weapons. Entering into an inheritance of weapons does not guarantee obtaining permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for its storage and use. Such permission is not granted automatically; it must be earned.
After submission established by law documentation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs decides whether the heir has the right to dispose of weapons. If his candidacy was refused, then the weapon must be handed over for disposal to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In this case, ownership of the weapon is lost.
It is important to consider that the lack of permission to store weapons entails criminal and administrative liability.
Inheriting a weapon has many nuances, so many people prefer to seek help from a qualified lawyer.
Stages of inheritance registration
IN general view The following stages can be distinguished in the registration of a weapons inheritance:
- Obtaining a certificate of inheritance from a notary (it will be issued six months after the death of the testator). The notary is obliged to inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the inheritance estate includes weapons.
- From this moment until the heir receives a license for the weapon, it will have to be stored in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can transfer it for storage through a specialized unit or duty station, or you can wait for the police to visit you to seize it.
- After receiving the certificate, the weapon is re-registered as your property on the basis of the certificate through the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It implies preliminary registration of a license to store/carry weapons.
- If within a year after the transfer of the weapon for storage the heir does not receive a license, the weapon must be disposed of. It is sold legally, and its value (minus commission and storage costs) is paid to the rightful owner. The heir is also given the opportunity to independently take care of the sale of weapons.
Registration of weapons by inheritance is carried out in a similar manner. The only caveat is that the heir must additionally acquire a hunting license.
How much does it cost to inherit a weapon?
A state fee is charged for obtaining a certificate of inheritance from a notary. It is calculated based on the estimated value of the property. Its size varies depending on the category of the heir - from 0.3% of the estimated value of the weapon for close relatives (within 100 thousand rubles) to 0.5% for other heirs (within 1 million rubles).
Therefore, a mandatory step is to pass independent assessment weapons. To do this, the heir must contact an independent appraisal company, which has a license for such services.
Typically, the market value of a weapon is determined remotely based on submitted documents. These include a passport, death certificate, permission to store/use weapons, gun passport, hunting license (if any).
The assessment is made on the date of death of the former owner. It is issued in the form of an official report. Its cost is about 5,000 rubles.
Procedure for obtaining a weapons license
It is worth distinguishing between permission to store and use (storage and carrying) weapons. In the first case, obtaining permits is quite simple. This is a fairly common type of license. It is quite relevant if a family decides to keep a weapon as a memory of a deceased relative.
Any adult citizen can apply for a license.
To do this, you need to collect and submit the following documents to the licensing and permitting department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs:
It is also necessary to provide a report from a narcologist.
It is worth noting that you can obtain permission to store rifled weapons only after 5 years.
Thus, registering weapons in Russia is a rather labor-intensive process. Legislative obstacles to the free distribution of weapons, which are due to objective necessity. Inappropriate registration of inherited property may result in criminal or administrative liability.

Therefore, if you find a knife in your grandfather’s garage after his death, do not rush to take it and take it home. To begin with, we would advise you to make sure whether your grandfather had a license for edged weapons and, if so, then better knife leave it in its place.

Weapon inheritance order
The law establishes a 6-month period for accepting an inheritance, starting from the day the inheritance is opened. This deadline can only be changed in cases provided for by the law itself, so you should not miss it, otherwise you may subsequently experience serious problems with acceptance of inheritance.
Perhaps for the first time in legislative practice, the issue of inheritance is regulated in detail. individual species property, including items of limited circulation.
The procedure for registering weapons by inheritance
By law, weapons are items with potentially limited negotiability. That is, in order to take it, for example, abroad, you will need to obtain a special permit.
On March 1, 2002, the third part of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, section 5 “Inheritance Law” came into force. According to the law, according to Art. 1180 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, hunting rifles that belonged to the testator are items of limited circulation.
Articles about weapons
Only the heir who has the right to obtain a license to purchase and store weapons after the death of the testator will be able to inherit and sell guns. This is stated in Art. 20 of the Federal Law “On Weapons”.
Citizens of the Russian Federation have the right to sell weapons that they legally own as personal property to legal entities licensed to sell civilian and official weapons or for collecting or exhibiting, or to state paramilitary organizations with prior notification to the internal affairs bodies that issued them permission to store and carrying weapons, as well as citizens who have licenses to purchase weapons, collect them or exhibit them, after re-registration of weapons with the internal affairs bodies at the place where the said weapons are registered.
Federal Law - On Weapons, N 150-FZ dated
Sale, inheritance and gift of weapons
Regulates legal relations arising during the circulation of both civilian and service, military hand small arms and bladed weapons on the territory of Russia the federal law“On weapons” dated December 13, 1996 No. 150-FZ. The law on weapons with comments will help to consider all the intricacies of regulating the circulation of weapons in our country; in this article we will consider the issue of selling, donating and inheriting weapons.
In accordance with current legislation, the acquisition of weapons and ammunition on the territory of Russia is subject to mandatory licensing. The exception to this rule is:
Licenses for the purchase of weapons and ammunition are issued by internal affairs bodies. The basis for issuing a license is an application from citizens of the Russian Federation. Such an application is considered within a month from the date of its submission. The license is valid for 6 months from the date of issue.
How to sell, donate or inherit weapons?
Anyone who legally owns a weapon has the right to sell it, but given the peculiarities of regulating the circulation of weapons, there are certain conditions.
You can sell weapons to both citizens and legal entities, or state paramilitary organizations. The buyer must have a license. The sale of weapons to legal entities or state paramilitary organizations is carried out with prior notification to the internal affairs bodies that issued them permission to store and carry weapons, and to citizens after re-registration of the weapon with the internal affairs bodies at the place where the said weapon is registered.
Donation and inheritance of civilian weapons are carried out in the manner determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation. A prerequisite is that the heir or the person in whose favor the donation is made has a license to purchase civilian weapons.
When giving a weapon or receiving it by inheritance legal entities and citizens of the Russian Federation are required to submit to the internal affairs bodies at the place where these weapons are registered an application in the prescribed form and documents confirming the legality of the donation or inheritance.
In the event of the death of the owner of the weapon, it is confiscated by the internal affairs bodies that registered it for safekeeping. Secure storage is carried out until the issue of inheritance is resolved and the heir obtains a license to purchase civilian weapons.
The notary, when accepting an application for a certificate of inheritance, explains to the heir that he will be able to use the weapon after receiving a license. It is necessary to understand that the issuance of a license to the heir may be refused.
If the subject of a gift or inheritance is a weapon of cultural value, then this issue is regulated taking into account the provisions of the following laws:
Gun by inheritance
It is known that the circulation of civilian weapons is limited, but citizens are not deprived of the right to inherit them. In other words, a gun can be part of an inheritance, that is, inherited according to the law, on a general basis. Naturally, like any inheritance, it can pass to the legal successor by will or by law. However, award-winning military weapons (hand-held, short-barreled, small arms) cannot be inherited after the death of the owner, with the exception of award-winning edged weapons (Article 1180 of the Civil Code (Civil Code) of the Russian Federation).
Grounds for inheritance of a gun
If the testator's will does not change inheritance by law (Article 1111 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), then the will itself takes place according to the law. The new legislation, unlike the old one, which included only two lines, significantly expanded the circle of heirs, establishing eight lines.
In law
Heirs are called upon to inherit according to the law in the order of their turn. In this case, the heirs of each subsequent line inherit the property of the testator in the absence of citizens from among the heirs of the previous lines. This means the following: when there is even a single heir of the first stage. heirs of all subsequent orders are not called upon to inherit. Or if, for example, heirs of the fourth order are called to inherit, then this means the absence of heirs of the first, second and third orders, and heirs of orders after the fourth are not called to inherit.
The law sets a six-month period for accepting an inheritance. which begins from the moment the inheritance is opened. This period may be changed only in cases provided for by law. For this reason, you should not skip it, as serious problems with accepting the inheritance may subsequently arise.
By will
The law considers a will as a one-sided transaction. creating obligations and rights for heirs after the opening of the inheritance, that is, after the death of the testator. The testator may, at his discretion, bequeath any of his property to any persons. A will must be drawn up in writing and certified by a notary. There are exceptions to of this rule, but they are possible only under certain conditions, and there are quite a few of them. The testator has the right to change or revoke the will at any time.
Confiscation of a gun after the opening of an inheritance
Article 20 of the Law “On Weapons”, currently in force, determines that upon the death of the owner of the weapon, until the issue of inheritance and obtaining a license for its acquisition is resolved, the weapon must be immediately confiscated for responsible storage in the internal affairs bodies, where it is registered.
If the heir to the property does not hand over the testator’s gun for safekeeping to the internal affairs bodies, then he may be prosecuted for illegal possession of weapons.
In order to avoid such consequences, the heir should immediately inform the internal affairs authorities about the fact of the death of the owner of the gun, and not interfere with its removal for safekeeping. Until the list of heirs is determined, as well as the issues of issuing a license for the acquisition of weapons are resolved, the testator’s gun, which is in safe custody in the internal affairs bodies, cannot be sold.
Registration of inheritance rights to a gun
Registration of inheritance of a gun and the entire procedure for these actions has its own specifics. This is due to the following: the new owner is required to comply with certain restrictions on the use and ownership of weapons. Civilian weapons that are registered with the Department of Internal Affairs are inherited only if the heirs have licenses to purchase civilian weapons. Moreover, the storage of civilian weapons can only be permitted to citizens who have received permission to store and carry weapons. An exception may be civilian weapons that do not require a license and registration with the Department of Internal Affairs (Part 1 of Article 22 of the Law “On Weapons” N 150-FZ).
You should definitely obtain a certificate of inheritance from a notary, since without re-registration given name a gun received by inheritance cannot even be simply stored. Internal affairs bodies carry out re-registration only if there are documents that confirm the legal entry into the inheritance, that is, a certificate of inheritance rights.
Therefore, according to general rule, if obtaining a certificate of inheritance rights is a right and not an obligation of the heir, then in the case of inheriting a gun, you cannot do without certificates of inheritance rights (Article 1162 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, clause 29 of the “Rules for the circulation of civilian and service weapons”).
It is also necessary to take into account that a certificate of inheritance rights is usually issued to the heirs not immediately, but after a six-month period from the opening of the inheritance (Article 1163 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). This means that for a certain time the heir, as the owner, cannot obtain permission from the police to store weapons. If the notary learns that the inheritance includes a weapon, he is obliged to immediately notify this fact internal affairs bodies, in accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 1172 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Only the Department of Internal Affairs can monitor compliance with all rules for the storage and sale of firearms. and also issue appropriate licenses (permits).
For the time necessary before obtaining a license or permission to carry and store civilian weapons, as well as after the expiration of the permits and licenses available to the heirs, the gun is confiscated for safekeeping in the internal affairs bodies (clause 99.8 of the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia).
To hand over weapons, you should contact the department of internal affairs for licensing and permitting work, which may also be called a center, department, etc. Although the internal affairs bodies in some cases accept weapons in duty stations. The gun will be returned to the citizen after he receives a license or permit. Moreover, the storage period for weapons established in the Department of Internal Affairs is no more than a year. After its expiration, the gun can be sold (Part 5, Article 27 of Law No. 150-FZ). The proceeds from its sale, minus all costs of sale, must be returned to the heir.
Obtaining a license to purchase civilian weapons
Citizens of the Russian Federation who acquire (or inherit) a firearm for the first time smoothbore weapon, and Airguns, having a muzzle energy of more than 7.5 Joules, gas revolvers and pistols, barrelless firearms for self-defense, firearms of limited destruction, signal weapons, or those purchasing long-barreled smooth-bore firearms for self-defense purposes, when receiving a purchase license, are required to submit to the internal affairs body according to place of residence the following documents:
Citizen K., who inherited a hunting rifle from his father, placed it in his house, that is, he actually entered into the inheritance as the only heir of the first stage. When registering a house, also inherited, the notary became aware of the fact that citizen K. had inherited a smooth-bore civilian weapon. The notary notified citizen K. of his obligation to inform the internal affairs bodies about this property received by citizen K. as an inheritance. After which citizen K. voluntarily handed over the inherited gun to the police department duty station for safekeeping until he received permission to carry and store weapons.

Hunters are a people with their own quirks. Some of them remain faithful to their first gun all their lives, bought in the distant years of their youth and now long outdated. And there are those who have entire collections of hunting rifles, sell boring ones and buy new ones. But for such a hobby to be completely legal, you need to know.
Two ways to sell hunting weapons
Today, the law provides for two ways to sell a hunting rifle. By the way, this also applies to all licensed self-defense means, so the information presented below may be useful not only to hunters.
So, you can sell weapons yourself or through a consignment store, whose specialization includes the possibility of selling hunting rifles. Each option has its pros and cons. For example, if you do the selling yourself, you can get a lot out of it more money, since the store, naturally, will not do anything for thanks. In addition, the volume of documents that will need to be completed in this case increases. Knowing the love of our officials for various bureaucratic things, it is not difficult to imagine what the desire to sell a gun through a store will entail.
The advantages of using the services of an intermediary include the relative security of the transaction and the absence of hassle in finding a suitable buyer. Thus, every gun owner must weigh the pros and cons of both options and make a decision for himself: how to sell a hunting shotgun.
Selling guns yourself
The procedure for selling a gun to a private person is very simple. It is enough for the seller and the buyer to come to the branch of the special licensing authority, where the gun was previously registered and assigned to its current owner. The owner of the gun gives it to the appropriate official a statement indicating your desire to re-register the weapon.
Based on this, the gun is registered to the new owner. Naturally, the buyer must have permission to own a certain type of hunting weapon. Without this, the deal will become impossible.
As you can see, the registration procedure itself is quite simple. But at the same time, selling hunting weapons independently has many pitfalls. The main difficulty is finding a buyer. In this sense, you can use one of two channels: acquaintances, relatives, colleagues, etc., as well as advertisements in newspapers or on special hunting Internet resources.
You should not offer to buy a weapon, like any other expensive item, to friends and acquaintances. Firstly, under such circumstances it is very difficult to get the desired price for your product. After all, many of us in this case are triggered by false modesty, which does not allow us to ask our friends for a large amount of money. Secondly, claims regarding malfunctions and shortcomings of the gun will subsequently always be addressed to the former owner, even if a decent period of time has passed since the sale, during which the weapon will be used mercilessly by the new owner and without taking the necessary precautions. So, if you sell your gun, you may lose a friend.
Finding a buyer via the Internet and advertisements is also not a good idea, how to sell a hunting shotgun. After all, before concluding an agreement you will have to show weapons to a stranger, who will definitely want to check its performance, etc. In this case, there is a very high risk of running into intruders.
Selling guns through a hunting store
Suppose, having set this goal, how to sell a hunting shotgun, and after carefully thinking it over, the owner came to the conclusion that it was better to use the services of the store. In this case, before agreeing with the commission on the terms of sale, it is necessary to submit a corresponding notification to the licensing and permitting department at the local department of internal affairs. This document will need to be accompanied by a weapons passport and permit.
The licensing authority staff will carefully examine the application received and accept necessary solution. If it is positive, the owner of the weapon will receive documentary evidence. This will be the basis for contacting the store. In this case, a date is stamped on the permit and it is important to hand over the weapon to an intermediary before it expires.
The main unpleasant feature associated with this option for selling a gun is the constant markdowns of goods from the consignment store. In principle, the fall in value can continue indefinitely. This process can only be stopped by a sale that has finally taken place, or by the owner himself, who has announced that he has changed his mind about selling the gun. In the latter case, the store will have to reimburse the costs of storing the weapon.
Another one important detail– after the gun is sold, its former owner must receive a corresponding notification from the store, confirmed by the seal of the trading establishment and signature responsible person. This document will need to be presented to the police department in order to finally deregister the gun in your name.
Hunters are a people with their own quirks. Some of them remain faithful to their first gun all their lives, bought in the distant years of their youth and now long outdated. And there are those who have entire collections of hunting rifles, sell boring ones and buy new ones. But for such a hobby to be completely legal, you need to know.
Two ways to sell hunting weapons
Today, the law provides for two ways to sell a hunting rifle. By the way, this also applies to all licensed self-defense means, so the information presented below may be useful not only to hunters.
So, you can sell weapons yourself or through a consignment store, whose specialization includes the possibility of selling hunting rifles. Each option has its pros and cons. For example, if you do the selling yourself, you can earn much more money from it, since the store, naturally, will not do anything for thanks. In addition, the volume of documents that will need to be completed in this case increases. Knowing the love of our officials for various bureaucratic things, it is not difficult to imagine what the desire to sell a gun through a store will entail.
The advantages of using the services of an intermediary include the relative security of the transaction and the absence of hassle in finding a suitable buyer. Thus, every gun owner must weigh the pros and cons of both options and make a decision for himself: how to sell a hunting shotgun.
Selling guns yourself
The procedure for selling a gun to a private person is very simple. It is enough for the seller and the buyer to come to the branch of the special licensing authority, where the gun was previously registered and assigned to its current owner. The owner of the gun submits an application to the appropriate official, in which he indicates his desire to re-register the weapon.
Based on this, the gun is registered to the new owner. Naturally, the buyer must have permission to own a certain type of hunting weapon. Without this, the deal will become impossible.
As you can see, the registration procedure itself is quite simple. But at the same time, selling hunting weapons independently has many pitfalls. The main difficulty is finding a buyer. In this sense, you can use one of two channels: acquaintances, relatives, colleagues, etc., as well as advertisements in newspapers or on special hunting Internet resources.
You should not offer to buy a weapon, like any other expensive item, to friends and acquaintances. Firstly, under such circumstances it is very difficult to get the desired price for your product. After all, many of us in this case are triggered by false modesty, which does not allow us to ask our friends for a large amount of money. Secondly, claims regarding malfunctions and shortcomings of the gun will subsequently always be addressed to the former owner, even if a decent period of time has passed since the sale, during which the weapon will be used mercilessly by the new owner and without taking the necessary precautions. So, if you sell your gun, you may lose a friend.
Finding a buyer via the Internet and advertisements is also not a good idea, how to sell a hunting shotgun. After all, before concluding an agreement, you will have to show the weapon to a stranger, who will definitely want to check its performance, etc. In this case, there is a very high risk of running into intruders.
Suppose, having set this goal, how to sell a hunting shotgun, and after carefully thinking it over, the owner came to the conclusion that it was better to use the services of the store. In this case, before agreeing with the commission on the terms of sale, it is necessary to submit a corresponding notification to the licensing and permitting department at the local department of internal affairs. This document will need to be accompanied by a weapons passport and permit.
The licensing authority will carefully study the application received and make the necessary decision. If it is positive, the owner of the weapon will receive documentary evidence. This will be the basis for contacting the store. In this case, a date is stamped on the permit and it is important to hand over the weapon to an intermediary before it expires.
The main unpleasant feature associated with this option for selling a gun is the constant markdowns of goods from the consignment store. In principle, the fall in value can continue indefinitely. This process can only be stopped by a sale that has finally taken place, or by the owner himself, who has announced that he has changed his mind about selling the gun. In the latter case, the store will have to reimburse the costs of storing the weapon.
Another important detail is that after the gun is sold, its former owner must receive a corresponding notification from the store, confirmed by the seal of the trading establishment and the signature of the responsible person. This document will need to be presented to the police department in order to finally deregister the gun in your name.

How to sell a used hunting rifle?
From time to time, every hunter faces the question: how to sell an old gun? Most often, this need is associated with the purchase of a new, more modern gun. To do everything right, to avoid complications and administrative sanctions, you should familiarize yourself with some features and practical recommendations.
Before selling, be sure to compare the characteristics of the gun with the data specified in the passport. If it was purchased in Soviet time, even before the release of the latest version of the “Weapon Law” or in case you unauthorizedly made changes to improve characteristics (cut or added various materials), some difficulties may arise.
Ways to sell hunting weapons
Today in Russia the law provides for two methods of sale. These methods also apply to all licensed self-defense means, so this information may be educational not only for hunters.
- Sell weapons through a specialized registered state register gun shop.
- Sell a hunting rifle yourself with the documents re-registered to another individual.
The purchase and sale of weapons can be carried out through a consignment store, the specialization of which includes the possibility of trading in such goods, or you can sell it yourself. Each option has its own pros and cons. For example, if you deal with the sale yourself, you can earn much more money from such a transaction, since there is no commission fee, but the volume of documents that in this case will need to be completed increases significantly.
The advantages of using the services of an intermediary when selling hunting rifles include the absence of hassle in finding a buyer and the relative safety of the transaction. Therefore, every owner must consider both options and decide how to sell their hunting shotgun.
Selling guns through a hunting store
If you set out to sell a registered hunting rifle through a specialized store, you should first familiarize yourself with the rules and conditions of sale. In this case, it is necessary to submit a notification of the established form to the licensing and permitting department located at the local department of internal affairs. This document must be accompanied by a weapon passport with permission for it.
After carefully studying the application, the licensing authority will make an appropriate decision. If the result is positive, the owner of the weapon will receive documentary evidence, which will become the basis for contacting the consignment store.
Since the permit is dated, it is important to hand over the weapon to an intermediary before it expires.
This implementation option has one unpleasant feature - the constant markdowns of goods provided by the consignment store. And this reduction in value can continue indefinitely. This process can only be stopped by the sale of a hunting weapon, or if the owner himself changes his mind about selling it. But in the latter case, the store will have to fully reimburse the costs associated with storing weapons.
If a weapon is sold, its former owner must receive a corresponding notification from the store, confirmed by the seller’s seal and the signature of the responsible person. To permanently deregister a gun this document You will need to present it to the police department.
Independent sale
You can sell a used gun only to a buyer who has a license to purchase a specific type of hunting gun. If the weapon is smooth-bore, this is green paper; if it is rifled, the license is on pink paper. Without a license, the transaction will become impossible. Before completing a purchase and sale transaction, you must go with the buyer to the Licensing and Permitting Department (LRO), your license will be canceled, and the gun will be transferred to the buyer.
Selling a hunting rifle to a private person is a very simple procedure. The buyer and seller must appear at the branch of the licensing authority where the gun was registered and assigned to the current owner. In turn, the owner submits an application to the relevant official about his desire to re-register the weapon. The sale of a hunting rifle requires its control shooting. Permission for such shooting can also be obtained from the LRO.
The registration procedure itself is quite simple, but selling independently has many pitfalls associated with finding a buyer. An individual should use all opportunities: place an advertisement for the sale on special hunting Internet resources, newspapers, notify friends, colleagues, relatives, etc. about the sale. You can place an advertisement for sale on regional and all-Russian thematic resources.

How to sell a used hunting rifle legally
Exactly so, Except if you have one permission :)
If everything suits you, take the gun and the two of you go to the permitting office (seller). There the seller writes a statement in the established form and submits his permission.
And the buyer gives his green card to the inspector to fill out.
And none of this bothers you anymore :)
The Seller writes an application for transfer, the Seller’s application and the Buyer’s green card are submitted to the LRO for registration (all necessary signatures and seals are placed. According to the law, the responsibility and ownership of the gun at this stage remains with the Seller and the weapon permit remains with him. Everyone goes home, the gun is from the Seller.
During the second visit to the LRO, the Seller surrenders his permit, the Buyer receives 2 completed stubs of brilliant green and rougo. From this moment on, the buyer is responsible for the gun. The Buyer's time limit of 2 weeks for registering the weapon has begun to count (note that, as a rule, the date of sale may appear in the brilliant green label as the date the seller's application was written, so the actual period is actually less than 2 weeks.
At this stage, the seller ends his participation in completing the paperwork;)
The inspector takes the stub of brilliant green and sends the Buyer home with a gun to wait for the permit to be issued. Two weeks later, the Buyer (no longer needing to carry a gun) goes into his LRO and exchanges his green card for a permit.
The buyer washes his purchase with friends:)
The Seller (with a gun and a weapons permit) and the Buyer (with brilliant green and a passport) go to the Seller’s permit office.
A week later, the Buyer goes to the Seller’s LRO and picks up his completed green card (it happens that they give only one spine instead of two, like, we’ll send it to whoever needs it).
1. You need to have an agreement that the store will take the gun for sale.
2. You need to obtain permission (direction) from the LRO to sell to a specific store.
3. The store, as it were, “buys” the gun from the seller, and gives him the spine, which is handed over by the seller to the LRO.
4. The buyer buys this gun in the usual way in the store according to his green card.
But there you also pay the store “for a commission” :)
Of course there will be a commission, but it usually doesn’t hurt. Moreover, who bears these costs must be agreed upon in advance (seller, buyer, or in half).
We don't have that.
All re-registrations are only through the store. When handing over the gun to my son, it was true that they registered it on the spot at the LRO, but with a rifled gun they had to do it only through the store, such an arrangement was given to the LRO employees from the highest offices, in addition they take a 20% commission, they don’t accept rifled ones less than 2 thousand, and a smoothbore 1 thousand .
There is no re-registration as such; they are trying to raise the finances of the Dynamo village store by any means possible.
Although they have no right to impose. I am free to give or donate a gun to someone free of charge. At the same time, I am writing a statement about this to the LRO and this is the basis for re-registration. As soon as you say the word “sell”, they send you to the store.
We won’t be able to give you a smooth gift, but they’ll take two hundred rubles.
Estimate if you actually sell a gun through a dynamo, what kind of profit would be made.
The Seller writes an application for transfer, the Seller’s application and the Buyer’s brilliant green card are submitted to the LRO for registration (all the necessary signatures and seals are placed. The inspector also takes the Seller’s permission at the same time. If the Seller has an inspector “fed”, then the Buyer’s brilliant green card can be issued right there. If not lured, then the gun is given to the Buyer without documents, sometimes with a note with the inspector's phone number (if you stop on the street with a gun without documents, call). The seller goes about his business, he is no longer needed in this scheme. The Buyer, at a trot, rushes along the shortest road home and puts the gun in the safe.
I have the same thing now! I’ve been waiting for a signature since June 5th, I go every week, and they feed me on Mondays. I say, you’re pushing me to the administrative office with a fine, they answer, we’ll call your inspector and there won’t be a fine.
I do not know what to do. Can you tell me?
At the first request, the seller’s permission is scissored and the buyer’s blank is immediately filled out. All. He's the owner.
I sold three guns and all according to the same scheme.
Killed!:agg:How did LRO find out that the anonymous author was specifically based on your gun? Did you subscribe?
The quick-witted inspector got caught
What area is this happening in?
There’s definitely something going on in Saratov, besides my green stuff there are about a dozen more in the folder.
So you can wait a long time. To begin with, you just had to change your attitude towards the cops - they see your timidity and uncertainty and treat you accordingly. On your next visit to them, ask them to take the trouble to explain on what basis they are forcing you to wait so long for a signature (laws, orders, etc.), and then go to the head of the police department and ask him to answer the same question. You can make a knight's move - return the remaining license stubs to your permit office, let the permitters themselves sort it out among themselves.
So the fact of the matter is that they took ALL the green stuff.
And it’s not my timidity (it’s written above, I need to write where it should be, so I’ll write), I’m saying there’s a dozen more green cards in the folder, i.e. not just mine. I understand that the boss is just dynamite - he doesn’t sign. Do you think I can get to him? to the common man will it be easy? I really doubt.
Don't get your hopes up! To the protocol on the APN, phone call not applied.
When you receive the stubs, you will have to sign in the “weapons received” column. Be sure(!) to put the real date there if it does not coincide with the one indicated by LROshnikami. If a case is initiated regarding the APN, this counterfoil will be proof of your innocence. But you will have to prove it in court.
Perhaps the LRO officers will continue to “calm you down” - they will say “we won’t fine you, we’ll issue a warning.” The law (Part 1, Article 20.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) allows you not to fine. However, keep in mind that a warning (they will issue it in the form of a resolution) is also a fact confirming your violation of the Weapons Law, and your hands will be “tied” for at least 1 year. Those. If you need to apply for another green card, or a pink one (or perform any other actions related to the registration of weapons), you will receive a justified refusal!
Well then the direct road to the prosecutor's office. Only the application must be registered - this can also be done by mail, by registered mail, but it will be faster to come yourself.
For what? Just to talk? Why should we complain if there is no negativity yet? No one has violated anyone's rights yet.
Or you can already formulate a complaint and justify it with references to the Law and job description LROshnikov?
Have you tried what you recommend yourself?
:az: That’s great, otherwise “war” is a costly business.:dg:
Rules for the sale of used hunting weapons
Import of hunting weapons from abroad
The import of hunting weapons from abroad is regulated by relevant regulations. The procedure for importing weapons for legal entities and individuals varies significantly. Let's consider the procedure for purchasing and importing hunting weapons for an ordinary hunter who is not burdened with commercial gain and is not involved in collecting weapons.
Administrative violations when storing hunting weapons
In the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the issue of storing hunting weapons is regulated quite clearly. In case of gross violation, both criminal (Article 224 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and administrative (Article 20.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) punishment are provided. Administrative penalties are provided for violations of the following rules.
Documents for a hunting license

Until July 1, 2012, old tickets issued before July 1, 2011, which have not expired, will be valid. Replacement of old-style hunting tickets is carried out throughout the year.

How to sell a gun?
Probably every gun owner at least once in his life is faced with a situation when the question arises about its sale. What should I do? In addition to the legal aspects (LRO, re-registration), a trivial question arises - who to sell it to?
It can probably be considered a successful coincidence of circumstances when acquaintances (hunters from the same company, newcomers from relatives, friends, acquaintances) buy a gun. But what to do when all the shooters are already “armed”, but it was not possible to captivate your friends/colleagues?
The first option is to hand over the gun for consignment to a gun store. In this situation, there is perhaps only one minus - you have to pay the intermediary, and, as a rule, quite a lot.
The second option is to try to sell the gun through “permits,” but the LRO is not officially involved in buying/selling. In fact, this is done by employees who have an open channel for heirs, shooters who were unable to sell weapons, people who, due to various circumstances, need to sell them within a limited framework. There are already more disadvantages here - “non-liquid” ones will not even be accepted for sale, the commission will be no less.
The most the best option, when the owner receives the full market value, there will be an independent sale of the weapon.
But how to find a buyer? How to sell a gun? Especially now, when hunting. societies have become disunited: regular meetings of hunting enthusiasts are not held, there are no popular specialized printed publications, etc. How to place a sale ad and reach the maximum audience?
Of course, you can submit advertisements in newspapers/magazines for free advertisements, but this option is unlikely to be quick and successful - the audience of these publications and the product offered are too different.
The most promising way to sell a gun is to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the World Wide Web. The Internet audience is growing, access appears on every phone, it has ceased to be the lot of young people and IT specialists).
First of all, you should place an ad on regional thematic resources (in each big city has its own online club-forum for “shooting and hunting” lovers), on all-Russian resources. The only disadvantage of this method is that not the entire potential audience is covered by these resources; the “parties” there are often closed - “fellow villagers” simply do not know about them.
Giant Internet resources with advertisements like Avito are primarily aimed at general public. The situation is similar with printed publications.
Thus, the easiest and fastest way to sell weapons on the Internet is to post your offer on a resource specializing in advertisements for the purchase and sale of weapons, the so-called “ used guns website».
There are several similar resources currently operating on the RuNet. The largest of them is ours - menkit.ru.
This resource, firstly, specializes in advertisements for the purchase and sale of shotguns/rifles, and secondly, it has several related sections - “Pneumatics”, “Optics”, “Ammunition”, “Components”, which distinguishes it from similar ones. The advertisements themselves and the search on the site are structured according to the main characteristics of the goods. According to the authors of the sites, it will be further development in terms of increasing thematic sections, technical improvements.
And most importantly, all main and targeted traffic is concentrated on a few main search engines(Yandex, Google). This means that almost every network user knows about them, knows how to use them, and starting a search using the phrase “buy IZH 18EM in Tyumen” he will be taken to the same advertisement sites for the sale of hunting weapons. Thus, these sites accumulate the bulk of the thematic audience.
To summarize, the easiest way to sell a gun is to sell it to friends, the most effective is to place an ad on thematic resources on the Internet.
