I don't think you can.
The solution is that if you already have a weapon on your existing license , you should first dispose that off. Once disposed, you can get your uncle's weapon registered on your license. But your uncle will have to take permission to sell as well before he can legally transfer his weapon to you.
The other solution is that you should apply for a sanction to have a second weapon on your license. Then you can have your uncle's weapon transferred to your name, once you have the permission.
All the best, hope my counsel helps
