BLUESUNSHINE Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hi all , can anybody tell me how old a shotgun has to be for it to be classed as an antique and therefore can be held without a shotgun licence ?? im sure i read somewhere that it had to have been made before 1939 but i can't remember where i read it thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardy_bradderz Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Before 1939 if its a MUZZLE LOADER. If its cartridge firing, and in a calibre still made and not on the 'obsolete calibre' list eg. 12 bore, 20 bore.etc, it requires an SGC no matter how old it is. And remember, muzzle loaders that are pre 1939 and are off ticket are NOT allowed to be fired. They have to be added to an SGC if you want to fire them.
