Definately section 58 so no licence required.
I have a few and they are nice guns.

btw I have a few nice rolling blocks coming in on commission sale that I'll be taking down to the Phoenix show at the end of May. There are plenty of decent examples here in the UK, I doubt it would be cost effective to import one unless you get it for a really good price.

I am always in the market for a nice Rolling Block

What should I expect to pay, the one I'm looking at will be about 350 euros including shipping.

Condition as always is everything and I'd be careful about buying one online especially from overseas. Dont forget the dreaded import duty and handling charges plus VAT if applicable. This could easily add £100 plus onto the price.

As far as UK prices go for Scandy rolling blocks expect to pay from £250 to £300 for one in poor condition ie non shootable bore, external pitting (but okay as a wall hanger) to around £650 for a really nice example with a fine bore, decent metal work and a nice piece of wood.

If coming from a fellow ec country I would have thought you would not have to pay any import tax.

Shows how laws vary. In the US, if it's made in 1898 or earlier, it's an unregulated antique, even if you could buy ammo for it at the local gunshop.

But if it's made in 1899 or later, it's regulated, even if the cartridge it chambers went out of production a century ago.

Your laws make more sense than ours, in that respect.

Does that mean you can have a Gatling gun without licence
