I do appreciate the advice from one and all. It is very informative.
At present, I only have one rifle in the states; the rest are in my father-in-law's basement, in a weapons safe, in Germany and are registered with the German authorities. All of my rifles are bolt action - .303 British Enfield, 8MM, 30.40 craig, .22, and the one with me here, 1903 Springfield 30.06. My two shotguns are a 16 Gauge, side-by-side double barrel with external side hammers, and a 12 Guage double barrel over and under.
I have a Black Powder .44 Cal pistole. I have three other pistols, two of which I know are not allowed becasue they are semi-automatic. The third one is a .357 Mag. Ruger-Blackhawk, Single action with a 7.5 inch barrel. I have read that it is not on the list of forbidden weapons in the UK.
I haven't received so much as a traffic violation in the past 40+ years. Not say I have never done anything wrong, just that I haven't been caught.
I will be, if the house is still available next summer, moving to Tain, June-July 2014 time-frame.
I will, also, at the end of this month, be joining BASC.
Thank you ALL again for you advice. Like I said, it has been most informative.
