We can but they have to be classed as section
58(2) of the Firearms Act 1968.which means they are exempt from license to qualify they have to be antique and on a list of obsolete calibres 44 Russian being one plus many other plus any rim fire and cap/ball as long as they are antique no new builds such as pietta etc these have to be put on tight regulated license thanks for the reply. Forgot to say if we want to shoot them the they have to be put on license if just collectors piece no problem bit of a bummer.
