Ahh the Berreta silver pigeon II an awsome shotgun very very good, you wont be dissapointed.
But make sure it fits you perfectly maybe with a bit of room to grow but make sure your mount straight onto the rib of your gun. -

Many thanks. This is the form I have to fill out: http://www.surrey.police.uk/flic_reference_form125.pdf
What do you reckon? It seems that ''Club'' is only applicable? Is the form the same style as yours?
Definitely, I will pay a visit to Beretta in London to try out their range before I buy.
Thanks. -

It seems to be the same as mine? Im slightly confused now.
Okay fill everything that applies to you, I never applied to a gun club and that never stopped me so you should be fine, You will most likely have the chief of that sort of thing from your local constabulary come to your house and he will go over anything thats wrong on your licence (in my case I filled out the age wrong crossed out a number and filled in a different age. Silly mistake on my behalf but needs to be followed up).
They will check up on your history and your guncabinet fixings and location.
Give him a cup of tea and your away mate

snap caps are a must,
A friend of a friend used to use spent cartridges in his side by side instead of snap caps, One day he tried to slide his shotgun in the boot of his car butt end first and the gun went off and shot him in the stomach, he later died from his wounds, he had not been paying attention and had loaded a live shell by mistake.
All to save £6.

I think the 6 would be bigger.
With shotguns usually the smaller the number the bigger the thing.
Eg size 6 is bigger then 9 shot -
