    They obviously have no problems with them - but then again they are not as influenced by the good old USA as we (especially our yoof) are.

    Our government have repeatedly tried to get France to restrict these pistols and I think you'll find that retailers near the ports will refuse to sell one to someone who is obviously from across la manche.

    You also need a licence to buy bullets, I used to get lead 148 gn HBWC from France but they won't sell them to me now.

    The USA doesn't regulate Blackpowder guns. Neither does France. The UK does. (?)
