    That looks like great fun Robin!

    If you don't mind me asking, how much does it cost to fire a beast like that?

    Cheapest powder I could find was £15/kg.

    I used lead shot, but it was only for recoil, anything would do.

    I presume you can hold that on a shotgun cert as long as the bore is no more than 1.99"?

    Looks fun!

    I imported it as curiosity or ornament. As it turns out it has a flaw in the breech, don't think I want to shoot it much so I probably won't put it on certificate.

    Of course any chum with a shotgun certificate can borrow it for up to 72 hours and do with it as they please. I could theoretically lend it to myself, but not very often
