Thread: Hoops to be leapt and dosh paid for a cap and ball black powder revolver & FAL.

As I understand it you would need to get a B if you want to fire it regularly/ at all

My C license says no functioning firearms the way I read it, happy to be corrected

B means a min of 12 range visits a year and an unofficial limit of 12 pistols on your B (unlimited on C) but they stretch that for black powder in recognition that they aren't a primary homicide weapon of choice

If you have your eye on a particular piece and you want someone to hold it for you drop me a pm - I don't have an interest in BP pistols but have room if you want someone to keep it for you for a while

It'll usually take around 4 plus months to get your B in my experience and, as ever, when applying for ANY endorsement apply for AS MANY endorsements as possible - same price if you do two at once

also another recommend on joining Antique Arms - nice bunch the few I've met

No, the B endorsement is for pistol club only. A C endorsement provides for pistols and restricted weapons (MG's & SMG's) to be used with blank ammunition for a theatrical event (eg; play, television or cinematic production. Re-enactment comes under the definition of 'play).
