Blackpowder firearmsi in the UK

To any UK members who frequent these parts, could you tell me what kind of certificates one needs to obtain to legally be able to own a BP gun?

I think that a person,who wishes to obtain black-powder ,needs a Section1 Firearms Certificate-but that I know definately applies to pistols.This was how standard-length cartridge-pistols were licensed,before they were banned.

For the guns you need a section 1 firearms certifcate with the correct veriations.

For the Black Powder, Under the Control of Explosives Regulations 1991, you need to apply for an explosives licence for Sporting / social use on an Acquire and keep basis.

This should help,
