I think it had something to do with taxes and confiscating firearms and powder...wait a minute, the government is still involved in those rackets!

Most of these have been sold to other shooters but I thought you'd like to see them.

Don't feel too bad; you in the U.K. have access to historic long arms that we rarely see over here.

Like what? I've never seen a gun cheaper in the UK than it can be had for in the US, European milsurps and sporters included.

The cheapest historic long arm would be a Mosin Nagant carbine over here if that qualifies, you could probably pick one up for around GBP135

I was thinking more like Sniders, Martini Henrys, Long Lee Efields, that sort of stuff. We're flooded with Mosin Nagants of all sorts and sizes. They seem to be the only thing coming in these days except for some Swiss K11s and 1911 rifles. I hear that there are lots of tasty surplus long arms being held in Europe but the EU has agreed not to export them to the U.S. Fact or fiction? Beats me, but nothing is showing up here any more. Maybe they're all gone to collectors now.

Ok, here's the last of them. No more room, no more money....well, I did just buy a used but unfired Pietta replica Colt 1860 C&B revolver because the price was very right and I haven't had one yet. But no more!

Keep in mind that not all of these are still on hand. I've sold some off to buy others. The S&W N frames are gone, as are the two Colt Detective Specials and the nickle finish Colt SAA .357. I traded the Walther P1 to a friend and the H&R 777 top break .22 was sold at a tidy profit to fund my AR15A2.

I won't torture any more with pistol porn....but if you come over here you can go to a pistol range and rent handguns.. just sayin' :shifty:

Hi Rufrdr,
Thanks for showing these great pictures, yes, it makes some of us ex pistol shooters a bit sad, but personally it is a good reminder of what may happen to what we still own if we become complacent.

Here's what I used to own before the Pistol ban (Stock Photos). If nothing else US Shooters have to avoid at all cost, gun registration, because no matter what the Politicians promise, they will eventually confiscate them.
