Isn't it those kept as antiques with no intention of using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherandSon Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 No idea. What is the cut off date to class it as an antique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I have no idea nowadays to be honest. Some are deemed antique by virtue of obsolete calibre, but it’s years since I owned handguns so am not up to speed on legislation. You would need an explosives license / black powder permit ( or whatever ) anyhow, even for any of the mechanisms you’ve mentioned if you intended to fire them. Gotcoalman is a black powder enthusiast, he would know. Drop him a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol etc which are original muzzle loaders and have a age of approximately 100 years can be acquired with out a licence the same is for muzzle loading shotguns and rifles and obsolete calibres ,If you wish to use any of these then they must be entered on a shotgun or firearms certificate with the same condition has modern firearms. It is best to enter them has a antique which if later required can be returned back to antique status. All modern repro muzzle loading pistols, shotguns, rifles must be entered on the firearms or shotgun certificate Edited January 15, 2019 by Feltwad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
