I guess the problem is you can't just take your 7.3 anywhere as you have to leave it at your nominated club. Can you get them RFD transferred between clubs?

A section 7.3 firearm becomes a section 5 once it leaves the club so it needs to be shipped accordingly. This means an approved S5 courier in a dedicated vehicle, additionally the HO guideline states if 6 or more firearms are carried the vehicle must have two occupants or words to that effect. This means you are paying for potentially two peoples wages, vehicle mileage and the shipping charge, it works out to be quite expensive..

When i was going through my Section 5 debacle with my Southern Gun Co. rifle i was told that a one way S5 trip from Durham to Bodmin would cost £800 (although that did come from bu!!$h!ter Bob ....)

Look in the revised Guidance to the Police for a list of designated sites if you are looking to start shooting 7.3. As mentioned earlier it can be very expensive getting stuff moved by Sec 5 carrier. You really need to find a few friendly Sec 5 dealers who are authorised as carriers and have them move it 'When they are going in that direction'.
