Does anyone know how one would have an old bolt action rifle
deactivated?
The gun in question is a no 9 bolt action smooth bore'garden gun',that was purchased from a 'hard ware' shop many many years ago (maybe 70 years +)
It would chamber a paper cartridge containing very small shot,or what was known as 'caps' that were essentially very small bullets.
It appeared to be alot less than a 22cal gun.
There is no ammunition with this gun as they were destroyed years ago for safety reasons.
It has been stored safely in a gun cabinet-
I'm not in possesion of this gun as I'm aware its a firearm.
I dont want to get into a position,that trying to get it deactivated ends up in the thing being destroyed.
This gun is very old,and very sentimental.It must be under a metre in height,with a lovelly wooden stock.
If anyone can help me with this as it means so much to me.
