    Can you own a .455 Webley?

    Howdy HK...Short answer yes, those that have a collectors license  [ historical arms ] would have them.

    For the use in competition only Single action, Silhouette & practical allow over .38, I am only referring to my home state as others can be different..I suppose someone could use the Webley if they wished for silhouette...they are trying to get a national firearms register  but the states can't even properly administer what they have, it's a complete balls up & money grab.

    Please lower a big chain, hook us up & do a dirt weld to Florida ...at least that way we'd have a chance..oh don't worry the 26 million gun haters will be tossed over before we get there, so that's only 1 mill coming your way ...way better than what's crossing your borders  at the moment !!

    Interesting......just out of couriosity why is the '97 banned in Australia?

    Howdy Mikey..A lot of stupid laws down-under in relation to gun ownership...the word auto or pump straight off scares 'em, but   you can  have  them  for  clays with an endorsement on your fire arm license..  the pump action shotgun  is not allowed for  single action, wild bunch or others. The crazy part is you can own a pump action rifle in any caliber. 

    Further a pistol license can only be up to a .38 [ revolver or auto ], above that is another endorsement...all pistols can only be used for competition & there is a minimum  range attendance requirement for each year. A handgun & longarm license in my state of Queensland is nearly $ 300 for 5 years, further you pay around $45 for a 'permit to acquire' for each  gun that you purchase.No limit on how many guns you can own although they do try to knock people back for  petty reasons, gun & safe checks are carried out by the police with  appointments  to suit each party[ must admit I've never had a gun check in over 20 years- did have a safe inspection in '08 ]  Professional feral animal hunters can have auto's, mostly those shooting out of choppers.

    That's just a bit of info  to give you the idea of  what it's like down here , enough to make you sick I reckon !!!

     Cheers 'Mohawk

    Not all states have approval to shoot WB, & some shoot it  under the name of Mexican Stand off   or Rosevelt , but still WB,,,87's used in place of the banned  97  [ or SXS ]... 1911 45's are  allowed...never really thought I'd partake myself but ended up getting all the gear & have a shot when the mood gets me
