About Side By Side Shotguns

The side-by-side (SxS) shotgun, where two barrels sit horizontally alongside one another, is the defining format of the English shooting field and the foundation of British gunmaking heritage. The finest UK-made side-by-sides are hand-built sidelock ejectors by makers including Purdey, Holland & Holland, Boss, Westley Richards and William Evans, representing the pinnacle of the gunmaker's craft. At the other end of the market, robust working side-by-sides from Spanish, Turkish and Italian makers offer reliable service at accessible prices.

 

All side-by-side shotguns require a Shotgun Certificate (SGC), and any older or fine English gun should be proof-checked before shooting if its history is unclear. The Gunstar side-by-side classified market spans pre-war English boxlocks to contemporary bespoke commissions, making it worth checking barrel length, choke specification and stock dimensions carefully when buying.

 

Buying Side By Side Shotguns

 

Shotgun Certificate

To buy a shotgun in the UK, you need a Shotgun Certificate (SGC) issued by your local police force. An SGC covers smooth-bore guns with a barrel of 24 inches or more and a magazine limited to two cartridges. Pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns with larger capacity magazines require a Firearms Certificate (FAC) instead.

 

What to check

Confirm the seller holds a valid SGC and that the gun matches the certificate description. Check the barrel for UK proof marks — a crown and BNP stamp from the London or Birmingham Proof House. On second-hand guns, inspect the action, stock and barrel walls for wear, pitting or damage. If you are uncertain, ask a registered firearms dealer (RFD) to examine it before purchase.

 

Completing the transfer

Both buyer and seller must hold valid certificates for the transaction. Record the buyer's SGC details and keep a copy of the transaction. Many buyers and sellers choose to complete the transfer through an RFD for added peace of mind.

 

Selling Your Shotgun?

Include the gauge, action type, barrel length and choke configuration in your listing. Clear photographs of the action, stock and barrels help buyers assess condition. Note any proof marks, servicing history or included accessories.
