Regards armourers, they are section 5 authorities and are allowed quite legally to have anything from stens to mg42's all live. The VCR bill will not affect armours as far as i've been told by an armourer Blank ammunition should still be readily available, so if you need guns for your films Ken i th...

Please, you really don't want to use that stuff. It's a pain to apply correctly and will rub off on your clothing.

The blanco you picture here is incorrect for ww2 and is post war, powder cake stuff would be best just to give your mk7 a nice camo look and used adventure look :D Thanks for the info, didn't know that.

Blanco: a paste-like substance, usually a dull green in colour, which had to be applied to the cadet's webbing belt. Once the webbing had been scrubbed clean, the fresh blanco was brushed on and great care was needed to ensure that it was applied evenly so that it dried to a smooth flawless finish ...

This is so ridiculous. Our country just gets worse and worse.

Well that totally depends on the other countries firearm laws- unless you mean buying them outside uk and bring them in then NO.

jack

Sorry I missed this - what are the details? Ken That the government are banning the sale and purchase of deactervated and replica weapons in the new violent crime reduction bill, the ownership and normal use after the ban of deact or replica guns will not be affected, just the sale and purchase.......

To all brits, you may already be aware of the VCR Bill, we now are 99.9% that this bill will come into effect this october. This means after october or when the bill is past you will not be able to purchase or sell deacts or repro's if you need a revolver or pistol or what ever GET THEM NOW WHILST Y...

Also the poster of a webley is the webley longspur percussion pistol of the 1850's.

The Webley revolver went through a series of "Marks" before ending with the Webley MKVI. During WWII, a new Webley MKIV (Mark Four) was designed as a .38 calibre sidearm for the Army and RAF, but with the influx of the Enfields and new ammunition, .455 Ely pistols became obsolete, though ...

If you need a bag with dividers in get a 37patt small pack, that should be adequate for you need.

Couldn't agree more, don't cut it, leave it!! nice revolver mate

I am not going to rant either but will add the laws here make it most inconvenient for law abiding citizens to procure firearms for sporting use. Sometimes I feel like I am the criminal if I want to go to a gun range or collect antique firearms! :shock: Bloody ####, don't tell me your firearms laws...

Very nice, very nice indeed

They carried more than one revolver and usually a sharps breech loading carbine.

Oh yeah, most troops used there swords as a last resort, using up there revolver until ammunition was dry THEN onto the sword, this is very well documented about the american civil war

Butt forward was a favorite carry position for many MANY years. It was a a standard carry for horse soldiers, as the real 'killing' arm was the one that could swing a sword...the revolver was considered a secondary weapon, and therefore was carried on the sword side, but in a butt forward position ...

I saw this too and ordered it and it is wrong - the bag marked at £5 while marked on the site as a MKVII is in fact not a MKVII - I think its the MKVI - it has flaps on both sides anyway.

Certainly works for a holster of the "Golden Age" but it lacks some of the timeless quality of the leather. The 37 pattern does have a handy attachment point for an ammo pouch, that helps attach the whole thing to your web belt, though. Plus, even though it was designed for the .38 Webley...

Yes by the second world war the officers were pretty much stuck with what they were issued. Of course private ownership of firearms had become much harder in in england during the 1920s so most officers, and men, probably had very little to no experience with firearms by WW2. Don't agree with what ...
