Is there an actual calibre limit?, I'm sure I heard somewhere that you could, technically, get a "live" artillery piece or tank main gun on a FAC if the breech block was removeable and securely stored.I think it was so blank shells could be fired or something.

Has the OP tried requesting a free quote from Stannah Stairlifts?

I'm not 100% sure, but I did hear an upper limit of 20mm quoted somewhere recently.

There certainly are much larger boomsticks in licensed hands but I've no idea about the ins and outs of licensing such a beast.
