Monster Hunting Guns Made in or Associated with the UK

If these monster hunters work for the Queen wouldn't it make sense for her agents to simply back channel some firearms.

Guns aren't super common in the UK but they are out there and a covert government agency would have no trouble getting the permits.

Regardless likely there would be two classes, "quasi legal" weapons like double shotguns and some bolt action rifles and maybe big bore African Game rifles like 600 Nitro double (had with a FAC)

The other class would be illegal arms. I'd suggest Russian arms are comparatively easy to get (AK and Makarovs) with ammo from the continent.

Alternately you could go domestic and they'd just be taken from military stockpiles somewhere, reported as destroyed or paperwork lost and viola.

You could get FN or Enfield rifles with ball, AP, tracer and incendiary and maybe some rebuilt Browning High Powers as well.

Revolvers would be more useful though since weird ammo probably won't feed in a Browning. In such cases refurbished Enfield, S&W and Webley revolvers from a stash somewhere could be issued.

lastly, if the conspiracy goes deep enough The Home Secretary (IIRC) could simply issue a waiver and have it classified under the Official Secrets Act. That way you could have pretty near anything up to a Lara Croft sized armory.
