UK and Oregon huh? So you live here and own guns in Oregon? If not, you are welcome to try any of mine out (at a range, I still think that is legal) sometime if you are ever in town.Recreational shooting of all kinds is the fastest growing participation sport in the UK.
Sporting England - a GOVERNMENT-sponsored financial initiative, is handing out ££££££££ to clubs to improve their facilities - we have had over $300K over the last three years.
I have nineteen guns - but none of them are shotguns - all are rifled Section 1 firearms and two are handguns.
The reason why they cost so much is that those parts made in the USA are specifically for the UK market - gas blocks that are solid, piston tubes that are empty, sear units that cannot be altered, and lowers that cannot take any kind of trigger unit except the permitted mechanism.
Penalties are horrendous, since the crime is an 'absolute offence', IOW, it is indefensible. You ARE going to jail for up to ten years.
