About .223 Rifles
The .223 Remington, also chambered as 5.56×45mm NATO in military specification, is one of the most widely used centrefire calibres in the UK, particularly among fox controllers, deer stalkers and long-range target shooters. Its flat trajectory and moderate recoil make it effective at ranges up to 400 metres, and the cartridge is used on foxes and certain deer species under relevant Home Office guidance.
All .223 rifles require a Firearms Certificate (FAC) from your local police force. Following the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988, centrefire semi-automatic rifles are prohibited in Great Britain, so listings on Gunstar will be bolt-action or straight-pull formats.
Popular makes include Tikka, Sako, Howa, CZ, Remington and Ruger in bolt-action, and Browning and B&T in straight-pull configurations. The calibre has a strong secondhand market in the UK, with good examples available across a wide price range.
Buying .223 Rifles
Firearms Certificate
To buy a rifle in the UK, you need a Firearms Certificate (FAC) issued by your local police force. The FAC specifies the calibre you are authorised to hold, and any rifle you purchase must match that authorisation. If you want to add a new calibre, you will need to vary your certificate before completing the purchase.
What to check
Confirm the seller holds a valid FAC and that the rifle is listed on it. Check the barrel for UK proof marks and verify that the calibre marking matches the certificate. On second-hand guns, inspect the action for wear, the stock for damage, and ask for any available service history. Optics and moderators do not need to be listed on your FAC separately, but the rifle itself must be.
Safe storage
Your FAC will specify safe storage conditions. A gun safe that meets police guidelines must be in place before a certificate is granted. If you are adding a further rifle, confirm your safe has adequate capacity before completing the purchase.
Selling Your Rifle?
Include the calibre, action type, barrel length, and any fitted optics or moderators in your listing. Note proof marks, the condition of the barrel and action, and any service or gunsmith history. Buyers will need an FAC authorising that calibre.
