poss get a bp rifle next ?? .45
what about you guys ??
.45-70 Winchester High wall long-range express rifle with tang sights. A Uberti replica, true, but still very nice. You can see Hickock45 shooting his on his Youtube channel.
Sad to say, living where I do, is that I have to sell one Section 1 firearm in order to get another Section 1 firearm.
whoopee. x 10

i think its wrong, once you been approved to own sec 1 firearms ,how many you own should be left up to you,
and as long as cops kept up to date with what you own ,
"I'm all in favour of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Lets start with typewriters." - Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959)
yes prob right , also subject to range and some training,as most if not all clubs would want ...dunnoI think maybe cleared for certain types, if you'd never shot cap'n'ball revolvers before, should you be cleared to go get one ?
Dunno.....
dont think bp hunting would be aloud
anyway back to photos of your bp guns ???

whats number 2?
#2
Its a Steyr Kropatschek in 8x60R. Made in 1886 for a Portuguese contract that never really got off the ground. It has a 8-9 shot tubular magazine below the barrel and a lifting spoon that flicks the next round up when the bolt is retracted-works really well. Similar in concept to a Mauser 71-84. I use a .338 cast bullet (NOE mould) that is sized down to .333 and brass is still made by Bertram (but expensive!)
As Home Office approval does not cover long barrel revolvers/pistols, therefore, you are in-breach of firearm laws if you use an LBR/P that has not been entered on your FAC.
The number of BP shooters is on the increase at the club that I belong to, and we have a habit of shadowing anybody that is new to BP.
