It's no problem if you intend to keep the gun for life - but
if you ever want to sell it in the UK make sure it has been
proofed first - many US guns - both long and sidearm - have
no proofcert or mark - as far as I remember this is a
requirement here in the UK / EU if you offer for sale.

This is a myth according to Gary Clark, one of the Guardians of
the Birmingham Proof House. If you import a gun from the US and
it is not proved, even if you never intend to sell it on, you
must get it proved at the Proof House. I think he said it had
to be proved within 28 days of being imported.
Gary has made some mistakes in what he has told me before, but
seeing as he is one of the Guardians, I take it that is the
rule.
Another thing is that the proving regulations do change from
time to time.
