MM Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) Well, after having this thing under the bed for months, i decided to do something with it. The purists amongst us might gasp at such a thing, but i know its not an original and wouldnt offend too much. So, after many, many hours of rubbing, sanding and oiling, its gone from this................. TO THIS............................. (have to state a price, so £500). Open to sensible offers. To use this you must have the required FAC slot..ect..powder...ect... Also, would consider swap for FAC air in .22cal or something from the gunpower type rifle.

ptrangmar Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 It not being an original, it must therefore be a repro. An FAC is required whether you intend to shoot it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 It not being an original, it must therefore be a repro. An FAC is required whether you intend to shoot it or not. :yp: Not according to the Home Office, Uk gun law, NSRA and many others. If it is not being used, it can be classed as antique. It is up to the buyer to decide if they want to use it or not. They must hold a valid FAC slot and a black poweder cert. (which i think i read is free) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following extracts are cut and paste from from the Home Office guidance document. If it's a modern replica muzzle loader, capable of firing it definitely does not class as an antique and needs a firearm certificate. Please check as you could get in a lot of **** over this Part I: Old weapons which should benefit from exemption as antiques under section 58 (2) of the Firearms Act 1968 8.5 Pre-1939 weapons to benefit from exemption as antiques are as follows: a) All muzzle-loading firearms;..................(etc) But...!!! Note (ii) – The exemption does not apply to firearms of modern manufacture which otherwise conform to the description above.For these purposes, “modern manufacture” should be taken to mean manufacture after the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. Fully working modern firing replicas of muzzle-loading and breech-loading firearms, for example those used to fire blanks by historical re-enactment societies but capable of firing live ammunition, must be held on certificate.

MM Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 in that case, its a really old antique, that will not shoot at the mo and needs work to make it shootable. :yp: ( i have now made it un-usable, cheers guys. read it wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
