Free core compliance

Free core compliance software for Registered Firearms Dealers

Use the core RFD workspace for stock inventory, acquisitions, disposals, transfers, documents, and audit evidence. The compliance register is free for RFDs, with advanced retail and PoS functionality available as paid software.

Why Registered Firearms Dealers need it

Cleaner stock records before retail complexity gets added

RFD stock records can become difficult to inspect when current inventory, historical transfers, customer evidence, and supporting documents live in separate systems.

Free compliance core

Start with the records an RFD needs to keep control of stock movements. The core register workflow is free for Registered Firearms Dealers.

Stock history without paper drift

Track what is currently held, what has moved out, and the movement history behind each firearm or ammunition entry.

Clear transfer traceability

Record who stock was bought from, sold to, transferred to, returned by, or otherwise moved through, with the context visible later.

Audit evidence in one place

Keep supporting documents, notes, timestamps, and staff activity connected to the record instead of scattered across folders.

In step, as it happens

One team. One live view of the work.

When one authorised staff member makes a change, everyone else sees the latest information as it happens. Your team can work together without refreshing, chasing updates, or relying on yesterday’s version.

See changes as they happen

New activity and edits reach each signed-in workspace as the work moves forward.

Hand work over cleanly

The next person can pick up from the latest position without chasing an update or rebuilding the context.

Act on the latest record

Everyone works from the same current picture, reducing the risk of decisions based on a stale screen or old export.

RFD point of sale

Run the retail counter with clearer sales and fewer hand-offs

Firearms Records PoS adds a fast product catalogue, retail stock control, suppliers, purchasing, valuation, flexible payments, VAT documents and trading reports to the same organisation platform as your RFD workspace.

Commercial retail inventory remains distinct from statutory firearm and ammunition holdings and movements.

Serve customers faster

Find a product by category, collection, search, SKU or barcode and build the basket from a single retail register.

Take flexible payments

Accept cash, use a supported in-person card reader, record an external terminal or split the total.

Create repeat business

Run controlled promotions and issue your own gift cards with partial redemption and clear balance tracking.

Control retail stock

Prevent overselling with per-location availability and basket reservations, then run blind stocktakes and controlled transfers.

Replenish with approval

Manage suppliers and purchase orders, receive partial deliveries and turn reorder levels into review-ready drafts.

Reconcile every trading day

See sales, VAT, stock value, cost of goods sold, gross margin and shrinkage, with frozen accounting exports behind the figures.

Register workflow

A stock movement history that is still readable later

The RFD workflow follows the practical movement of stock through the business, from receipt to disposal and the evidence needed around it.

Receive

Capture source, date, stock category, identifying details, and the document references needed for the record.

Hold

See current stock, reserved items, repair or storage status, and the record state at a glance.

Transfer

Log sales, returns, dealer transfers, and certificate or organisation context when stock leaves your control.

Evidence

Retain a dependable history for internal checks, audits, and compliance reviews.

Built with the shooting community

Built by shooters who understand the work behind the counter and on the range

Firearms Records is designed and developed by two fellow shooters, one of whom also works in a club and understands the everyday operational and compliance challenges first-hand. The result is purpose-built software shaped by field experience and feedback from clubs, RFDs, and shooters.

Discuss RFD functionality

Built from real field experience

The product is designed and developed by two fellow shooters, with direct club-employee experience shaping the workflows around administration, compliance, attendance, governance, and commercial pain points.

Feedback has somewhere to go

Clubs, RFDs, and shooters can vocalise functionality they believe is essential but missing, giving the product a practical feedback loop from the people using it.

Direct feature conversations

Clubs and RFDs can reach out directly to discuss new functionality, operational gaps, and workflows they want Firearms Records to support next.

Governance

Built for sensitive dealer records

RFD inventory and transfer records need controlled access, strong hosting principles, backups, and a clear audit trail from the start.

Built and hosted in the UK

Firearms Records is built and hosted in the UK, with customer data stored exclusively within the UK.

Encrypted by design

HTTPS-only access, encrypted storage, and additional AES-256 PII encryption for sensitive personal data support dependable digital recordkeeping.

Controlled access

MFA support and granular staff roles help clubs and RFDs enforce strict data access boundaries, so each staff member is constrained to the records and actions they genuinely need.

Tamper-resistant audit history

Automated backups, tamper-resistant audit logging, evidence exports, and linked documents help keep operational records defensible.
