Paul223 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I can't quite comprehend how anyone can find a gun - post on a public forum - give it a few days before checking for replies - and still hasn't sought advice from the Police or an RFD. First port of call is to get it on a legitimate footing. What make or model or value is of comparatively little importance. If the gets arrested, it might focus his mind a little.

HDAV Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Edit: my original comment should have Read "It's not the same for everyone" What's the exact search term you used?

Paul223 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 So it's fair to say anyone using a search engine may very well come here for advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan.lord Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi I'm after some advice I found this gun in my parents loft while clearing it out, I don't have a licence and neither did they as far as I'm aware. I have no idea what to do with it, I would like to display it at home but I think I would need to get it deactivated does anyone know if this is possible or is the only option to hand it in to be destroyed?2015-01-02_09.38.17_50_1_50.jpg Wow that looks really interesting. Any chance of posting some more pics ? I wonder if the lower barrel is rifled, maybe possible to get it smooth bored & chambered for a 410. cartridge so you could keep it on a sgc ? Certainly a nice looking piece though. I hope you can get it on the books so it can be legally owned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarepeg Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Gauge wise, more probably 16 bore, rifled barrel probably 7/62 Know. A friend as one but 12 bore, and the rifled barrel has been removed to keep it on a shotgun certificate. Boring to 410 would have been a better option but expensive?
