Deffo need a licience before anyone will sell you one iirc.

think you need a gun cabinet to hold it/them too,not just under the floorboards.

IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN IN TROUBLE WITH THE POLICE FORGET IT ( caps off )
I have had my shotgun licence for years
do a lot of clay shooting
But its getting tighter to get one with all the shootings that go on

just look up gunsmiths in the yellow pages

My last under and over i had made for me(because i have short arms ) was about £5k........loverly gun but you can buy them off the shelf for £400+ depends on what you want!
i bought a matched pair of old decommisioned 410's (great for shooting bunnies with) for £160 spent £130 having them reactivated and then sold them for £1k.
There is actually a very good gunshop (or used to be) just down the road from cfoster's house from on here, and there is a good shotgun shop in benfleet high st (very cheap for cartridges )
