This isn't something I collect, but I know a few on here collect obsolete calibre firearms, with those in mind here is a heads-up on some recent legislation in the UK outlawing owning certain obsolete calibres effectively making ownership of them without a firearms licence an imprisonable offence.

More details here:Section 58 altered to add and remove some cartridges.

To quote from the article:

<<Cartridges to be removed from the list. 'We will therefore remove the following cartridges from the list of obsolete cartridges when making the new regulations:

.320 British (also known as .320 Revolver CF, short or long) .
41 Colt (short or long) .
44 Smith and Wesson Russian .
442 Revolver (also known as .44 Webley)
9.4mm Dutch Revolver
10.6mm German Ordnance Revolver
11mm French Ordnance Revolver M1873 (Army)

This will mean that from the date the new regulations take effect, all firearms chambered for use with the above cartridges will become subject to firearms licensing. Section 126 of the Policing and Crime Act 2017 will be brought fully into effect and will allow existing owners to retain such weapons on a firearm certificate without having to show good reason and, in the case of prohibited weapons, without the need for the Secretary of State’s authority under section 5 of the Firearms Act 1968 (but not in the case of dealers who wish to possess the weapons for the purpose of their business). Museums will be able to apply to retain such weapons through their Museum Licence or other certificate.>>

This law seems to have been sneaked out with very little publicity, so if you collect this stuff, worth doing an inventory. There is little/no compensation offered, owners can just apply for a firearms licence, with all that entails to keep them!

It really feels the law-abiding are under attack like never before to cover up for the criminal world which will ignore any such legislation passed, and will continue to have access and use of illegal firearms.
