(1) The Chief Constable may vary a firearm certificate on the application of the holder and payment of the appropriate fee (if any).
(2) If an application is made under paragraph (1) for a firearm or ammunition to be added to a firearm certificate, paragraphs (1) and (2) of Article 5 shall apply to the variation of the certificate as they apply to the grant of a certificate.

(b) as part of the same transaction purchases a shotgun (“the second shotgun”) from him,
the dealer may vary that person’s firearm certificate by substituting the second shotgun for the first shotgun.
