    Alan Westlake Armscor M200 357 Nitro Spares

    Alright,

    Hope a 'for sale' type post is ok here, been a while since I've posted anything.

    Basically I have broken my M200 (split barrel 'throat') and although Alan has new barrels due in, I'm offering up the pistol 'as is' fully boxed with press as you buy new, as spares or repairs. If anything the cylinder would be handy for someone who already has one.

    Only damage is what is described above, plus the odd mark or two to the finish, from use.

    £250

    Not fussed if sells as I'll get her repaired otherwise, just been offered a nice underlever which is tempting me.

    Cheers,

    Diehard

    Just a note to say to check with Alan first re:the cylinder being used in another Armscor.

    When I spoke to him about this in the past, he said that each cylinder is unique to the particular pistol and shouldn't be used in another (he said that when he provides multiple cylinders they are all made bespoke to the end users pistol)

    Having said that, what Alan says does seem to be a little... Fluid sometimes so I may be wrong but for safeties sake, worth checking.
    It's all forgotten now, but Rockers and Mods only started fighting as the Rockers were annoyed at having some of their comments removed

    It is still classed as a firearm working or not so you'd need the 357 Muzzle Loading Revolver slot.

    I have a .36 with a spare cylinder and have to have a slot for both.

    Aye, but it's illegal to sell/offer for sale an out of proof firearm??

    I won't say I'm a expert re: the legislation but me saying it's broken and hence I wouldn't recommend firing it should be a decent defence? I've got a 44 I bought from a dealer knackered a couple of years back to repair with no quarms? Could be wrong but least nothing under false pretences.

    The law refers to them as "Constituent Parts" if its a pressure part (Barrel, cylinder) or a serial numbered part (frame) then you are in possession of a firearm.
    All the other bits you can have without a licence...but that's really just a pair of rubber grips, a couple of metal catches a small bag of screws and springs

    Doesn't look like it.....

    The Proof Acts lay down that no small arm may be sold, exchanged or exported, exposed or kept for sale or exchange or pawned unless and until it has been fully proved and duly marked. The Maximum penalty is £5000 for each offence, but with provision for higher penalties where, for instance, the sale of a number of guns constitutes one offence. Alteration to or the forging of proof marks is a more serious offence.

    Arms previously proved and bearing apparently valid proof marks are deemed unproved if the barrels have been enlarged in the bore beyond certain defined limits or if the barrel or action has been materially weakend in other respects.

    The offence in dealing in unproved arms is committed by the seller, not by an unwitting purchaser.

    Ah well then there you go, no longer available for sale, unless you just want the cylinder... For the same price... And I'll throw in the other bits for free
