Old guns booming .

Yep it's potty. I recently acquired an antique muzzle loader and needed the barrels inspecting and to discover the true bore. The RFD I used would not touch it unless it was on my licence! "it was" It had to be as I load 12g black powder cartridges so had the means to shoot the muzzle loader.

and yet I have loads of antiques which are not on licence. My local firearms people only wish to know about any given gun if and when I want to fire it. I think your RFD was out of order with his demands. You might well want to have a gun inspected for safety BEFORE you have it put on licence.
