Air Cartridge Revolvers

JayBee66

I had a lovely chromed Taurus and a Brocock Orion before moving back home in 2003. I had to sell them.

Would I now be allowed to own such guns?

I still have the cartridges stored in England.

How is everyone getting on with their pistol applications?

What was the actual change in the law allowing people to have hand guns with calibres larger than .22?

I've always wanted a PPK.

Thanks.

There was no change in the law, just a matter of applying the law as it existed.

Not sure why you'd want an ACR when you can just get cartridge revolver.

Hi JB,

were the Brocock pistols and rifles not outlawed in the UK? think they can only be licenced in the same way as full auto and large cal semi auto now.

The brococks were being converted to fire.22 ammo or the brocock shells were changed so that a blank round would fit behind it and so launch the lead pellet at high speed.

Are they still even being made anymore?

People who had them before the law was changed in 2004 could keep them and register them on a firearms cert. No new certs were allowed after a cutoff date. New ones cannot be licenced.

Air cartridge guns were reclassified so that you had to have a FAC. As I had just been made redundant in 2002 I decided to come home but my research showed that I could not bring the guns into Ireland so I sold them.

Brocock have ceased production. Taurus did a small batch conversion of their 7 shot 22 lr revolver.

Shame, quite an investment in the revolvers plus 100 cartridges and pumping equipment. Still, I can sell the cartridges to someone in the UK and use the money to get something over here.

The first thing to do is to join a club. Where would be the nearest club to Kenmare, Kerry?

There's also a new lot getting started in Castlemaine, though I don't think they're up and running just yet.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I also heard something about Mallow. Is that so?
