To shoot a s58 off ticket is illegal. The acquisition and possession of a firearm under s58 is for obsolete firearms to be owned as an ornament or curio. For a firearm to be used in anyway in the U.K. will place that firearm in a category requiring certification, in this case s1.

Should you be discovered shooting a s58 off ticket, you would be guilty of an offence of unlawful possession of a s1 firearm as the purpose you had that firearm at that time was not as an ornament or curio.

I have looked at "Guidance" and it seems that you are correct. I am pretty sure it used to be allowed for testing purposes but it seems that has changed.

very nice indeed....
i think the early remingtons were 1 in 16 twist as the replicas are 1 in 30

Hello,
Although some of the laws and guidance regarding firearms ownership in the UK are a bit over the top to say the least, I would always be sure to abide by them and would certainly not shoot the Remington if it were not listed on my FAC.

All the more reason to get it on and get shooting.

With care, that is.

It's hard to see the justification in needing to put a s58 on ticket just to fire once in a blue moon just for fun when you already hold an fac and bp licence et al for far more powerful weapons. But then you see these piss takers insuring a beat up old banger with an "all other vehicles not owned etc" clause and proceed to drive around in a souped up racer which they could never afford to insure which "belongs to a friend".

Nice!

Chambers of even the 36cal Remingtons are roomy, to say the least. With a roundball or ogive both they´ll handle 30 grains easy.
..and yes. If the gun is sans cracks or damages it will take it with ease too.

Just for reference.

I have to say I would be very wary of relying on the old wives tale that you can shoot the gun on the odd occasion for 'test purposes'. I have a couple of original revolvers including a .44 cal Remington that was fired by the previous owner but most of the local MLAGB competitions insist that the gun used is on your FAC, certainly any of the International competitions would insist on this. Whether or not you would need to have it proofed to do this is a question I can't answer but no doubt someone better informed can tell you. The only thing that might make a difference is that it seems almost all Firearms Departments interpret the rules differently, well, Thames Valley definitely do....
Just out of interest, I owned a .36 Remington Uberti reproduction and despite some serious work it wouldn't group to save your life. Needless to say, it's no longer with me
