simoncup Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hi All,I`m new to the forum.I have recently inherited my late fathers 410 pistol, which I have had refurbished.I`m looking for information on the approximate age, possible manufacturer and a guestimate on the value.I`ve trawled the net looking for similar guns for sale and for information. Both which seem to be scarce!!!Any info would be gratefully received. Thanks, Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunny_blaster Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 My boss has just brought one that looks exactly the same. It cost him £150. Not sure on make but I'm sure it's Belgium made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigman Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 What section is a 410 pistol , how could I get one? Very nice by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 IIRC sec 5 along with other pistols, but there is a section for them in the HO guidance which gives the requirement for having one on your cert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidsuffolk Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I don't want to be a Jonah but surely this pistol is S5 and maybe not too good an idea to put it on a public forum? I don't know of any exemptions due to age as it isn't an obsolete calibre etc so maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can advise.

ChrisAsh Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Looks like either a 10 inch or 12 inch barrel based on size of trigger guard being about 2 inches, only use i can see for it is humain dispatch or blaggers, hard to get a licence for it I would assume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterse Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 My father in law had one identical to this. We used to shoot rats with it around his barns back in the eighties. He had his on a FAC. When he gave up his FAC he sold it together with a .22 rifle to a RFD for £10 !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbish its a blooming nice gun and has its place, otherwise it wouldn't be ticketed. I would have one but I wouldn't give say a Glock the time of day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of any exemptions due to age as it isn't an obsolete calibre etc so maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can advise. taken from the HO guidance 13.20 Section 4 of the 1997 Act allows the possession and use of shot pistols in calibres .410 and 9mm rimfire, provided that such a pistol is “subject to a condition that it is only for use in connection with the shooting of vermin” (see Appendix 3 for the exact wording of the condition which covers these circumstances). This exemption was intended mainly for pest controllers who may need to use a firearm of this kind in farm buildings, farmyards and similar areas where use of a conventional shot gun would be inappropriate, for example fruit cages or near release pens.

simoncup Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 It is all above board and on a section one FAC. I was granted it for shooting vermin inside and around farm buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul223 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Simon, I'd be interested to know what it shoot like, is it overly loud? What sort of pattern do you get? How much recoil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simoncup Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Simon, I'd be interested to know what it shoot like, is it overly loud? What sort of pattern do you get? How much recoil? It is reasonably loud. Easy to shoot with one hand. Not patterned it yet, but effective range is allegedly fairly limited. My main reason to keep it was scarcity and the fact that it belonged to my father. Sentimentality is not a reason though according to my FLO. So I had to have a justified reason to keep it. Luckily the land I have permission to shoot on is adjacent to my house and there are numerous farm buildings with vermin problems!!!!

Paul223 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 It'd be good to see some patterns from it, would it that much different to a normal .410? Bet it would be spectacular to use with black powder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
