Pistol of Interest for 7.3 Collectors

[John Gunn]

I seems that if you start a collection, say rare or historic Brownings you an add more recent Brownings as you are now a collector.
Several of the guys at Bisley have collections including modern versions of older guns.
I have heard of one person who bought a Scout Car and equipped it will all the WW2 accessories- jerry cans, spades, officer's uniform and of course the officer's Browning Hi Power!

Hello
I loved every aspect of my pistol shooting days, and also had a very nice eclectic collection, as I suspect most shooters did But when the ban came I took to historic rifle shooting and collecting and have enjoyed every minute of that too. It was a very difficult decision for me as to whether to go down the 7.3 route or also shoot out of country, but the costs and the amount of faffing about made the decision for me, If they ever rescind/ease the ban "Still live in hope before the grim reaper takes me"
I would be back into it like a shot "excuse the pun"

I do know a bloke with a Ferret scout car and a live Browning Hi Power on 7.3

Honestly the costs are not worth worrying about, for example to store a pistol for a year at Bisley is £26 (pretty much all historic firearms increase in value more than this per year anyway) and a full days range hire is £16.
The only faff is the initial application but I reckon it's worth it. Once you are "in" then additional pistols are usually a simple variation with a short justification.
