whats the law on buying one of these
im after an old colt style revolver just for decorative purposes any one know ay issues with this and where to get one?

 

Decorative purposes only you say?


You mean like this one?
















Sorry im in a funny mood today!

 

hahahaha i must have it

 

Still legal to buy, have to be over 18, don't go waving it around in the street

 

probably easier to get the real thing rather than a deact these days Might not be an old style revolver but im sure your local friendly mate can get a nice 9mm semi or a simple .38 revolver.

 

Not everyone lives in an area like you Warren lol

 

pete whats happened

why do you need a gun?

 

After reading some of his covert operation threads recently i think id be wanting a gun too

 

I looked into getting a deactivated AK-47. They can be picked up for about Ł130 with certificate.

 

I think the law has been tightened up on deactivated weapons recently, due to back street "gunsmiths" re-activating disabled weapons and making horrific weapons out of cheap cast replica's.

there are different levels of decativation too, i think the law changed in about 95, with the older ones being more valuable as they can be cocked and "dry" fired as they only had the barrel welded up and the firing pin removed iirc, which makes it very simple to reactivate

if you have a genuine interest in weapons join a rifle club where you can learn to use one properly, if you want one for "display" just get a gas powered air pistol

i agree, I would rather go somewhere and fire a gun than have a deactivated one on my wall and wave it around like a cowboy when im pissed. I tagged along with my brother in law to get a rifle certificate thing last week. They didnt have the regular rifle around so we ended up using this. (According to him this is what it was, I know fuck all about them)

ha ha joe i dont need a gun
purely would like one for decoration i have always wanted one
if i had a real one it would never get used any ways to be honest i cant even explain properly why i want one must just be a bloke thing but i want one
lol and no i will not go chasing the kids on the street with it when they hit my car with another football lol

 

id love a selection of assault rifles in my games room.saw some good replica websites.there were rocket launchers the lot!

 

the thing about deactivated guns being easy to re-activate is bollocks. Even "old spec" guns were such that to re-activate them properly you would need the technical knowledge and tools such that you could manufacture a gun anyway.

New spec guns were designed to be even harder to convert because it was found that the availability of old spec deacts was such that they were cheap enough to make converting them viable. hence the new spec guns which are just paper wieghts that look like guns!!!

The brocock air cartridge revolvers were banned because they were just too well made so could handle the pressures of a small handgun cartridge going off. The BACS even looked like a shell casing and worked in a similar way with firing pin etc. there was even a mini version used in a walther PPK replica that worked just like the original and with a few mods and an upping of the pressure could be made to self reload Also again too well made so easily rechambered for handgun calibre rounds.

Shame really, i had designed a nice AR15 style rifle using BACS. would have been ace!

 

Easy To re-activate is all relative though isn't it?, anyone with a little bit of enginering skill and access to a modest machine shop could do it.

 

found a few replica guns i like specially smith and wessons proper old school revolvers i mean im hardly gonna go running round like a agngster shouting brapp with one of those lol
they are just beautifal pieces of craftsmanship though
what is the uk specification for a real gun to be owned and fired?
i know u need a licence but what does this involve do they come to your premises check where u keep the weapon ertc?

 

thats the point its still not easy to do and how many wannabe gangster Chavs have access to that gear??? And with modern spec deacts theres no point, its easier to build from scratch using easily available plans.


Orion 88, handguns are illegal in this country since the panic reaction to dunblane purely to appease the ignorant, biased, screaming mums.

 

i got one sell you it cheap

 

so purely a case of one person spoiling it for the rest of us
every women i know are like why on earth do you want a gun
i think it purely is a man thing
looking around replicas seem ok but it aint the same as having one that once fired
i have no urge to get one and activate it again cos the only time it would get used is at an offical place

 

no two people, the idiot who did hungerford got the self loading rifles took off us and the nutter at dunblane took off us the handguns.

And has it helped reduce gun crime?? has it fuck, but it pleased the grieving mothers of the victims so the government "appeared" to be doing something good.

I wonder if those same mothers will eventually realise it was all pointless when the police should have been enforceing the gun legislation as it was properly and targetting the illegal guns on the street!!!

 

regardless of the weapon theyre will always be a way to mame people mothers may be happy about guns been banned but then what do they use?black market firearms even bombs and then what they gonna say well lets ban bombs yea ok wheyre did that get america 9/11 thats where.they dont realie that the same guns which have killed people are the same weapons that have kept theyre country safe time and time again
it will get to a point where even carrieng a slighty sharp key will be a weapon
tiny minded people and not looking at the bigger picture are the problem here not guns.try defending a country with spoons and we will see how many die in battle lol
rant over
i found this mmmmmm

 

you could always go black powder??? think theres still some exemptions on blackpowder guns.

do some "Sharpe" style training or watch the engagements in "zulu"

 

why bother mate,they are not cheap and about as much use as a paper weight,unless you like strokeing them.........
if i was you id put in for a shotgun licence(if you've been a good boy)and you have somewhere you can shoot it........
just a thought........

 

my old mans got loads somewhere. a ww2 german pistol, magnum im gonna have a hunt tmrw will take pics when i find them

 

if i posted pics of an uzi you think i'd get in bother?
lol

 

If its a luger (spelling) I bet its worth a fortune

 

my mate found a old Luger with bullets in his grandads house when he died about a year back. think he handed it in, woulda got reamed if cops found that in ya house lol

 

you sometimes get water pistols at mcdonalds, hth!
