OddJob Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Looking for the above, preferably WW1 vintage but not overtly fussed in the age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddJob Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Thanks for that, a little more than I was hoping to pay as that's quite a special vintage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabbitbosher Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I think you might struggle, the new deactivating criteria is awful, and under the new Law it’s illegal to sell a gun without a modern certificate with mlirtary rifles especially they have to be double submitted , so unless you live on the doorstep to the proof house your looking at two days out or two lots of postage to start with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any individual or company must now sell with a new certificate? I've been wanting one for 20 years and decided to just get on with it, **** law! If you come across any please do keep me in mind, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 There is another way, check out Stroud auctions 6-7 February auction, they have a couple of Enfield 303’s converted to 410 shotgun, if you have a SGC it’s a way to get what you want easily and cheaper (est. £50-£80) and you can shoot it too! my brother has a deact(military, done and refurbished by RAF regiment) DP (drill purpose) 303 No. 4 but he can’t sell due to current legislation and can’t be bothered to go through the rigmarole so just gathering dust. I am sure there are many in the same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
