How to buy a gun using the RFD Register on Rightgun.uk
The RFD Register on Rightgun.uk allows gun shops and Registered Firearms Dealers to record firearm purchases accurately and in line with UK compliance requirements. Using the Buy action ensures that all purchase, receipt, and documentation details are securely stored in your digital RFD Register.
This process helps maintain proper audit trails, generate required documents, and keep your stock records up to date.
Buying a gun and recording it in your RFD Register
Log in to your Rightgun.uk account using your registered credentials.
Go to your Armoury.
If the gun is not already added, add it as a draft using the standard add gun process.
If the gun is already in your Armoury, open the gun listing to edit it.
Use sidebar filters (desktop) or the Filter button (mobile) to locate the gun you want to lend.
You can also search by existing customer name, gun status, or other filters.
From the Action menu, click Buy.
Enter all required purchase and receipt details, including:
- Who the gun is being purchased from
- Purchase or receipt date
- Additional notes or further information
- Services (if applicable)
- Financial details (if applicable)
- Document generation options
Click Create to complete the purchase and receipt process.
After completing the purchase
The latest status of the gun will be updated automatically in your RFD Register.
You can:
- View full transaction details in the Transactions section for that gun
- Download the required documents for offline records
- Generate and share receipts or compliance documents with suppliers
This ensures your purchase records remain accurate, compliant, and easily accessible.
