This not so modern design Uberti was made for the same market, a .44 Cal. cap and ball black powder revolver requires a separate loading stand.

Thats a beautiful revolver

Thanks billdick, I got it from a great CGN'er and really enjoy shooting it. It doesn't jam up on the spent caps like a lot of open top cap and ball guns do.

Yes sir, since these newer draconian laws were passed, BP revolvers & muzzleloading handguns became very popular to fill the void, so to speak.

That's a rather neat revolver Skinny!

The limey's find interesting ways around their gun laws.

Uhm, this "loophole" has been in existance since 1997.
I'm pretty sure with the subsequent rise in violent crime and the unpopular confiscation, UK bureaucrats are not in any rush to close this "loophole".

my two bits only............

Plus from my understanding the way the antique laws work in the UK there are more hoops to jump through.

You can buy/own antiques without a license but if you intend to shoot them then you still have to register by putting them "on ticket".

So just because you can have one of these does not mean you can run around an shoot it at will! Their laws make ours look good!
