Mr. Merkel Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 2 for me worst regret was selling a cased Boswell sidelock ejector live pigeon gun, the second a Colt M1911 self loading pistol in .455 Webley auto when the government no longer trusted us to own handguns, however long after it transpired that the calibre was obsolete and I could have kept it.

I think it probably will have been, I imagine it was given up at the 1996 -1997 buy out, AFAIK the 455 webley was in the 1992 guidance as obsolete then.

I only asked as the lad I mentioned who had inherited his Dads Webleys also had a Navy or RFC Webley Auto in .455 Webley but I can’t recall him ever shooting it. I know he also had the 9mm version .

Mr. Merkel Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hello Scully, I am truly not sure it was a while ago now and at that time there was no mention of obsolete calibres however it was all under the banner of firearms amendment act 1997.
