The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

About ten years ago, a friend retired and was moving to Cyprus to live. He had managed to hold onto his Colt New Service after the ban under section 7/1. He offered it to me as he couldn't take it to Cyprus with him. So, I put in a variation for a .455 revolver for holding under section 7/1 and it came back approved with no questions asked. I had to pay him the market price unfortunately. So, I now have two .455 revolvers to oil and look at. He used to shoot the Colt at the Pistol AD meetings and the Trafalgar Meetings. I never got to shoot this revolver, however. Regards
Peter.

That is nice.

I'm looking for a 1917 Colt Service in .45acp for 7.3

I've dealt with Steven before, really nice bloke who gets down to the SE regularly.

Thanks Si

I have seen the pistol and its got a bit too much wear & pitting on the metalwork on it for me, also as you say wrong calibre.

What is the process for getting a Sec 7.1 on your certificate?

I have a couple of Imperial-marked M91 Mosins and would like a M1895 Nagant revolver to join them as part of a collection.

I used my Maxim, M44 and M91/30 to add a TT33 and M1895 to the collection, document what you have including books, any learned society that you are a member of (HBSA etc) and go from there.

Note the strip down tool

Ohhhh.....I like those Dan

My mistake.....I meant a Nagant on 7.3, don't know why I put 7.1!, must have been having a senior moment
