If a local were going to sell a Double in England, what specific steps would they have to take and what qualifications would the buyer have to demonstrate, if any???? Just curious--

---

You only need to discuss export with a dealer that specializes in import/export. Champlin Arms, British Sporting Arms, and Cabelas are all good at this process. They do charge a fee, though this is the safest way to do it without alot of hassles.

---

Would this restrict rifle sales to within the country??

---

No.

---

Would Doubles just be sold out of various gunshops or are any sold on the net or at auction in the UK??

---

Not certain what your trying to say here. Guns are sold through gunshops, the internet, through private auctions, and private sales between individuals.

Just out of curiousity I was wondering where a Brit or a fellow from the UK would sell a Double rifle.Their laws are so strict now I don't know if Doubles would even be allowed in the UK presently.

---

Doubles are certainly allowed in the UK. The chief constable (head of police) of the county must give his approval (signature) to the individual owning any firearms. This is done through his firearms department. To get approval you must prove valid reason to own and use a firearms in any calibre. In most cases this involves proving you have suitable land and quarry for the rifle, be this land you own and suitable quarry for the calibre in question; or you rent/have permission to use the land and have suitible quarry for the calibre; or you can prove you have an invitation (commercial or private) to shoot a suitable quarry for calibre either in the UK or abroad.

If no valid reason is given, or your reason is not deemed to be good enough by the police, they will refuse you application for a firearm. I know enough people who have doubles. Most are of old title families with large estates and/or land abroad. The others I know of are generally people with money and time to spend in Africa; or those close to the gun trade with the passion for Africa.
