Does anyone of you guys know how to date this revolver 7.5 mm? i have read that there are some 1888 then some 1889 in us. they are really nice and cylinder moves normally. i believe can also be reloaded with 32-20 shortened cases.
 
If it is a M1887 Nagant made by Husqvarna, only serial number 1-350 are antiques in Canada.

From what I read the 7.5 mm is not the easiest to make rounds for, some being successful, some a little less.....
 
i looked it up. 32-20 brass shortened will work but it isn't easy.
too bad the law isn;t for stuff designed before 1898 and using obsolete ammo. would make more sense wouldnt it?
i found 3 of these in us but i guess it wont be antique here
 
Yes, there's many available online, and I still haven't found one that is antique in Canada........these revolvers are very nice, and alot of them are minty! :(

Let's all have a nice dream that we find one, one day!

Not really because it creates the question of what is obsolete. The law used to read "not commercially available" (or so I am told) prior to 1995. The problem was that the term was defined differently by many police. To some it meant a shell that could not be bought in a store in that town while to others it could mean virtually every shell that could be bought anywhere in the world.

The one good point of the present law is that the cartridge limitations are very well defined. I don't particularly agree with the choice of rifle calibers but at least they are well defined whether rifle, pistol or shotgun.

X-2 what was readily avalable in Hanna maybe different from Toronto very vauge I would have liked to have seen it more likethe US antique laws but I'm happy we got something.
 
I think that if it was made before 1898 or even 1900 regardless of caliber or function it should be fair game... but thats just me.

Regardless I own fully functional revolvers without the hassels so im far from complaining.

So what if you gotta pay an arm and 2 legs eh!, its worth it in the end.
 
definitely worth it. Old stuff is nice to have no matter what it is...gun, car whatever you like. there has been a few nice examples of guns posted by members here. some for sale some not. collecting antiques is huge in europe. Especially that you can find them in homes, attic's old sheds. here you just have to have thick wallet.
The US laws are a bit easier. Wish we had it same here. just more options. Either way I am happy we got something.
