Gunstar.co.uk is the UK’s leading online advertising platform for rifles, guns and shooting accessories.

We help private sellers and licensed dealers advertise their items, but we do not buy, sell, or facilitate the transaction of goods ourselves.

Think of us as the Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace of the shooting world - a safe, easy-to-use platform where enthusiasts can connect and trade responsibly.

How Gunstar Works

• Sellers list their items – Private individuals and registered firearm dealers create ads to showcase their guns and accessories.
• Buyers browse and connect – Interested buyers contact sellers directly through our platform or via phone number, if provided.
• Transactions happen off-site – Gunstar does not handle payments or sales; buyers and sellers arrange deals independently while following UK firearm laws.

How to Use Gunstar

1. Create an Account – Sign up and set up your profile in minutes.
2. List Your Item – Upload photos, set a price, and write a clear description.
3. Connect with Buyers – Interested buyers will contact you directly via our platform.
4. Complete the Transaction – Arrange payment and transfer following UK firearm laws.

Legal Responsibility & Safety

Gunstar is committed to promoting safe and legal firearm trading. All buyers and sellers are responsible for ensuring that any transaction:

• Complies with UK firearms laws.
• Includes proper licensing where required.
• Follows best practices for safe and legal transfers.

Using an RFD-to-RFD transfer (Registered Firearms Dealer to Registered Firearms Dealer) is one of the safest and most secure ways to transfer firearms over long distances. We strongly encourage buyers and sellers to use this method whenever possible.

We also recommend that both parties:

• Verify the buyer’s/seller’s identity and credentials before proceeding.
• Meet in a safe, legal location if exchanging goods in person.

Ensure any required licenses are valid before completing the transaction.
