A question for the Muzzleloaders of this forum. Many years ago I bought a fine Muzzleloading 9 bore live pigeon gun by a good London maker. Most definately an antique, It was put on my Shotgun cert & shot occasionally usually at pigeons over drilled crops, (worked very well!) It hasnt been shot now for ten years.
I am at the point where i am contemplating giving up my shotguns on account of a long term injury.
It used to be the case that you could ask for such a piece to be removed from your ticket & then sold as an antique.
Question is, Is this still the case? Can it be removed from my ticket & sold as an antique, Or Kept as a non shooting antique.
It would be a disaster if it had to be deactivated & would destroy its value.
I will be asking BASC firearms dept but wonder if anyone else has any insight?
