Compliant by default. Built to sell.
RFD. by Gunstar is the digital register that keeps you lawful and runs your shop — your bound book, police notifications, certificates, till and figures, in one place.
Dashboard
The modern register for the British gun trade
Dealers today choose between paper that slows them down and dated software that's clunky, buggy and cut off from the shop. RFD. by Gunstar is the one that finally works the way you do.
Actually easy to use
Fast, clear and built this decade. No training manual, no fighting the system to log a simple acquisition.
Joined to your shop
The register and the till are one system — stock, sales and the record all in step, never keyed in twice.
Ready in seconds
When an officer walks in, hand them a clean, searchable record on the spot — not a system nobody can navigate.
Everything an RFD needs, in one place
Your digital bound book
Every acquisition and disposal logged the way the law expects — searchable in an instant, retained for twenty years, and never again a shoebox of carbon copies.
- Guided acquisition & disposal forms with built-in validation
- Inspection mode: a clean, read-only view for police visits
- Full audit trail on every record
Firearms register
Police notifications, sent for you
The moment a firearm changes hands, the right Form 11 reaches the right force — automatically, immediately, and on the record. No printing, no posting, no chasing.
- One notification per transaction, sent the instant it happens
- Addressed to the correct force automatically
- A clear record of exactly what was sent, and when
Certificates that never lapse
FAC, SGC and RFD dated from issue, with renewal reminders and a live validity check at the till.
The numbers, finally clear
Purchase-to-sale margins, VAT, consignment sales and monthly takings — the business view paper never gave you.
Dealer-to-dealer transfers
Move firearms between RFDs on the platform, with the paperwork handled at both ends.
From acquisition to sale, without the paperwork
A single flow keeps you compliant and keeps the shop moving.
Acquire
Log a firearm in seconds with guided, validated forms.
Record
It's in your bound book instantly — searchable and inspection-ready.
Notify
The right Form 11 goes to the right force automatically.
Sell
Check the certificate, take the payment, and the sale files itself.
Locked down. Backed up. Yours.
Your register holds sensitive, legally required records. Here’s how we keep them safe — in plain English, no jargon.
Encrypted, always
Your records are scrambled both in transit and in storage — unreadable to anyone but you and the people you authorise.
30-day rewind
Continuous automatic backups. If anything ever went wrong, we can restore your register to any point in the last 30 days.
Your data is walled off
Every dealer’s records are isolated at the database level — tested to confirm no other account can ever reach yours.
Enterprise foundations
Runs on Cloudflare’s certified network (ISO 27001, SOC 2), with EU data hosting and built-in DDoS protection.
Locked-down access
Passwords are one-way encrypted, never stored in plain text, with role-based permissions for every member of staff.
Tamper-evident by design
Every entry and correction is logged — the same audit trail that satisfies a police inspection proves your data’s integrity.
