Primer and Ammo Sale - Legal Question
Good Morning Guys,
Ive looked into previous posts but most of them are from a few years ago or dont answer my question directly.
Im looking to sell off most of my gun collection and will therefore need to sell off some ammo and primers.
I have a fair amount of Ammo and ALOT of primers. I know that its complicated to sell primers and ammo privately but guys have also said that you can make the sale through a dealer.
1) What do you mean by "go through a dealer" Does this mean that I should complete the transaction at a dealer or must it go on their books? I want to stay on the right side of the law for this.
2) If I complete the sale through a dealer, can I advertise the primers and ammo on this forum?
Obviously everything will go to guys with valid licenses for the caliber in question etc
Thanks and regards,
Dani

Re: Primer and Ammo Sale - Legal Question
How do they say : It is complicated.
For everyone else reading, as it does look like you have read the act & the below.
http://www.gunsite.co.za/forums/show...n-of-the-forum
Extract:
"
Because, unlike in the case of actual guns, there is no licensing process in relation to the exchange of cartridges and primers, as a matter of policy we do not permit buying and selling of either complete cartridges, primers or powder on this site. You are however free to buy and sell cartridge cases and bullets."
So unless you have a dealers licence, you will be "stuck" with it, as most dealers will also not take on stock of "unknown" origin as it may become a liability to them.
Any chance you still have a receipt of where it was bought as you could then probably have it refunded, but the shop would probably not be able to sell it...
Rather speak to your local DFO: Extract " on such conditions as the Designated Firearms Officer may determine. "
And make sure you get it in writing, this is also not a blanket, e.g. you cannot use someone else's DFO allowed xyz, it will pertain to your specific case.

What about donating or swopping them. Obviously to licensed persons.

Re: Primer and Ammo Sale - Legal Question
Include it as a "freebie" when you sell the respective firearm.
Where are you?
