In the states, a unmolested .55 Boyes is considered a Destructive Device, like any tank main gun. And needing papers. Many have converted them to .50 for lacking the paperwork requirements first, then the cheaper cost of the ammo.
There is a shop nearby that has a Boyes in .55 and asking some US$ 3,500.00 for one.
They do look impressive sticking out the front of a bren carrier!
