Firearm Purchase Procedure for EU Citizens

Wersja w języku polskim | Česká verze

If you are not a citizen of the Czech Republic and you want to buy a firearm from us, you will have to fulfill a number requirements:

  1. You must hold a valid EU Member State firearms licence and obtain an import permit for the type of firearm you require, from your local police department or other issuing authority. 

  2. The import permit must be officially translated into the Czech language by a certified translator registered in the Czech Republic (not required for Slovakia). We recommend this company for court certified translations into English, German, Polish and other languages: https://www.slune.cz/en/sluzba/translation/.

  3. It is necessary to enter the serial number of the weapon in the import permit. The serial number will be provided to you upon agreement.

  4. A reservation fee of 30%-100% of the total price of the firearm is required before the sale can take place, depending on its price and availability.

  5. With the translated import permit, you will come to our shop (Zkrácená 3223/46, 700 30 Ostrava-Zábřeh) to pick up the weapon. Our colleague will then take you to the local police department for an export permit. There is a fee of 800 CZK for the export permit (payment must be made by credit card).

  6. The nearest police department - Department of Services for Weapons and Security Material - contact point Ostrava (in Czech: Odbor služby pro zbraně a bezpečnostní materiál - kontaktní místo Ostrava) is located about 5 minutes drive from our shop at Výstavní 55/117, 703 00 Ostrava - Vítkovice.
    Business hours: Monday 8:00 - 17:00, Wednesday 8:00 - 17:00

  7. We need to know the date of your arrival at the shop at least 2 days in advance.

  8. Once you have done this, you can take your gun home and register it with the relevant authority according to the laws of your country.

With regard to Czech law (Act No. 38/1994 Coll., on Foreign Trade in Military Material, as amended), individual export, import or transit is possible only in the case of firearms that are not considered as military material.

Fully automatic firearms (category A) and automatic firearms that have been modified to be semi-automatic or originally military weapons are considered to be military material. Here are some examples of the firearms that cannot be exported: AKM, AK47, Type 56, Sa vz.58 (CZ 858 Tactical), vz.52/57, vz.54, Sa vz.61 Scorpion, M1 Carbine, FN FAL, Barrett M99, SKS, SVT 40, etc.
