remember when looking for antique cartridge guns only the reveiver has to be antique and the cartridge cant be on the no go list
I think quite a few revolvers were built on a Nagant (brothers) design. It may be that you have seen a few listed on the EE but not as nagants. I currently have a dutch military pistol which is a nagant design (I think) and have owned a couple of dutch police pistols of the same design but different appearance. All were chambered in the 9.3mm dutch cartridge

Neither is .32 acp...
yeah not pre 1898. not an antique.
most nagant revolvers , although 1895 model/blueprint, weren't manufactured, or copied, until late 1898 then 1899.
antique has to be manufactured prior to dec 31 1897 23:59:59 hrs, to be considered antique.
*so the CFC and police have interpreted it*
logic and common sense indicate that it was to include the year of 1898, at par with the brittish, whom together with canada, dated in law that antique would be of course 1 year earlier than the americans in law and definition.
just another twist of a double standard and interpretation to "bend" things to crown liking.\
that other year of 1898, would include alot more guns, and thats tooo big, bad and scary, so the "twist" was made as an interpretation.
how would everybody want a double barrelled .500 nitro express, with no licence or registration?
yeeeee haaawwww

What are you saying?
The Antique status only applies to pistols made before 1898. It doesn't include 1898.
I'm still at a loss to understand how that came about???????
I wonder if it's just loose interpretation?????????? and the original intent was to include 1898????
I understand the pre 1898 thing. I thought he was talking about .32 acp. I was talking about those koren .32 cylinders you can buy for the 1895 nagants.
The reason for only 1897 and before is the RCMP don't want us with unregistered irons. Plain and simple.

I've never understood it personally (I mean, I understand the rule but not the motives behind it). It should be a pre-1898 MODEL, not date of manufacture, as the vast majority of all firearm models were being produced unchanged (and of the same materials and caliber) throughout their entire production, regardless of the actual production starting date.
As an example, a model 1892 revolver (which had no significant factory modifications throughout its' production cycle) should be deemed antique all the way till the 1920's when production ceased... but that's only IF our gun control laws made any sense, which they unfortunately don't.
The only reason why the pre-1898 production rule was imposed was to limit the amount of antiques a firearms collector can obtain in Canada, as nothing else justifies the mid-production cut-off rule. Thank a Liberal next time you see one...
