I suppose all the talk of odd chambers and reloading for this rifle might be a moot point. There was no mention of whether there is an intent to actually get it shooting.
We here in the ‘States need to remember that the UK has some rather (to our notions) draconian and convoluted firearms law.
As I recall, one can posess a specified (by section) antique off certificate “if” one does not have any ammo or components to make ammo for that firearm.
If said antique cartridge arm were intended to be paired with ammunition, then it has to be added to ones “firearms certificate” as approved by the Police Constabulary and who knows who else?

Maybe this one is just going to be a nice collector piece without the hassle of Police/Government intervention?
