‘Acquiring a weaponʼ means buying, receiving as a gift, inheriting, renting or borrowing a weapon. Depending on the type, you will require a contract, a weapons acquisition permit or a special permit.

To acquire weapons subject to declaration and their essential components you require a written contract detailing seller/buyer and weapon. If the weapon is a firearm, the seller must send a copy of the contract to the buyer’s cantonal firearms office within 30 days of concluding the contract.

Foreign nationals who do not possess a long-term residence permit require an acquisition permit for all types of weapons and their essential components.

(this is for weapons that don't need a WES - e.g. single shot rifles, Swiss army rifles, etc)

Just thought it would help someone; here are the templates to sell a firearm or part thereof:

English
German
Italian
French
