This means that there are strict procedures one has to follow when you want to sell a rifle.

The only way to legally sell a gun is to a gun dealer or privately, but you cannot hand it over to a new owner until that person has a licence for the weapon in question.

A rifle can only be sold to a person once he has already obtained the necessary license to possess that specific firearm.

Normally, a person is permitted to possess a total of four firearms, including a handgun that is not fully automatic and a rifle or shotgun that is not fully or semi-automatic.

The regulations of the FCA put stringent practical and procedural limits on selling or obtaining firearms, therefore it is crucial to find a legal and reputable channel to get rid of a rifle you don’t want to possess anymore.

The regulatory system further imposes severe requirements on dealers like us, such as prominent obligations to keep records on all firearms and ammunition in stock and all firearms that we hold on behalf of licensees, as well as the duty to link these three registers to a national database established by the Registrar. 

As a dealer we must make all firearms, ammunition, and records that we keep available for inspection by any police official on request.

When you do business with us, you lessen the chances of being scammed by con artists who take advantage of the fact that the internet is an unregulated area.

We are respected dealers in weapons, and in addition to having a selection of rifles available for purchase, we are dedicated to offering service that is not only courteous, but also devoted and personable.

We trade under dealer license: Guns & Ammo Trading (PTY) Ltd, 28 5th Street, Delmas.

Any person who has an interest in firearms, whether as a collector, hunter, or enthusiast, is welcome to sell a rifle through us with the knowledge that we deal in high-quality used rifles for sale in South Africa and offer a safe and secure service.

Your firearm will be advertised on our website where potential buyers can browse through our pre-owned inventory of firearms.

You can count on us to get back to you as quickly as possible, regardless of whether you are interested in selling or purchasing a firearm.

We are authorized to purchase firearms legally from any individual in South Africa who may be interested in selling them to us for any reason, like emigrating, inheriting a firearm they don’t really want of even just not needing it anymore.
