Antique Photos--Post what you got

At the rate that our friend dingus is aquiring these antique guns, he will soon need a vault the size of my whole house. Also I hear that the armed forces are getting concerned because he has more guns than they do, and most of them are in better condition than theirs.:mrgreen: :lol: :D 8)
 
Ok, I know it isnt a pic of anything I have in my revelled arsenal but please, anyone, what the hell is this thing?

Well my antique finally came in and I have already started refurbishing it...talk about rust pitting. The cylinder IMHO is unsafe to use so I will be building a new one from 1 3/8" high carbon barstock and then heat treating it to accept BP only.

Some small parts will need to be replaced but strangely enough all of the pins and springs are in superb shape. Go figure.

As soon as I get my neighbour's digital camera I will take some pics and post them. The pics I have posted before in the past do not do it justice to actually show the level of rust.

Here is my newest rimfire. It is a little rusty, and needs some mechanical tuning up, but I'll fix her. It was made by The New York Pistol Co. and the model is "Wide Awake" It is a 32 cal rimfire. I should have it in my hands by Friday. 8)

Here is my wizardized version of my Colt 41. It's pretty hard to tell that this old gun is an antique at this point. I bought this gun to shoot though, not hang on a wall and collect dust. I bought the grip off ebay, it is accually for a S&W K frame, but I modified it to fit. I made no modifications to the gun itself however, only the grip, so one screw and the originals go back on.

rodagra,

I read somewhere that the Webley 455 Mk II is NOT considered a firearm by CFC and so doesn't require any of the paperwork, transport permits, etc. Is this correct? And even more important, is ammo even available? So I can just buy one (?) and use it anywhere like a .22 rifle?

Heres a couple more that showed up in the mailbox yesterday (and yes, they accually left them in my mailbox). One is a 7mm Belgian Pinfire, and the other a Colt Newline 30 cal rimfire. Both were previously owned by Dingus.

In answer to your Webley question, it depends on the year of manufacture. The mark one 455's are antique status, and so would be the mark two 455's, as long as it was manufacured before 1898. No paperwork required what so ever, but check the year of manufacure on the mark two, because it sucks to have one seized. :cry:

The serial number range on Mk II Webleys is 40,000 to 63,282, and ALL 455's that fall in this range are antiques in Canada.
Ammunition is usually quite easy to find, and easier to reload once you have the brass. Availability of ammo has nothing to do with it.

**NOTE: You can buy one with or without a license, but you must transport it in exactly the same way as a restricted or prohibited firearm.
Theoretically you may discharge an antique wherever it's legal to discharge any firearm. However this has not, to my knowledge, been established through a court case.

A guy described a handgun like this at the range last night.
He said his is an H&R, and I'm going to ask him for a peek at it either tonight or next Wednesday.
I'll get back on this if he'll give me the peek. :lol:

OK, not to nitpick ( :p ) but it's not quite exactly the same requirements as restricted transport. Restricted needs to be trigger locked & cased, antique handgun is cased only.
 
Please do, that thing has me baffled. I have seen many H&R's, and own a couple of them, but not quite like that. I have never seen one like that at the auction sites either.
