Hi,

I was directed to this forum via Calguns - looking for someone to rejuvenate an old G43 stock.
I am a member on a few of the other collecting forums.

Scanning through the posts, you seem like a well read bunch here.

I collect mainly WW2 German firearms, although I also have a soft spot for Victorian England.

I look forward to posting and reading more.

Good to meet you,

Pit.

Hi and welcome :thumb:

Ooo, a Fosbury, did I spell that right? Never fired one, but every year a collector used to turn up at my club's public open day with his Forsbury collection. All the shapes and sizes.

Odd lookin' little things they are

Thank you - I like to travel around the world seeking out interesting firearms.
Are they allowed Fosbery's in the UK - is the .455 a dead caliber?

In Utah now, will likely increase the collection here, too.

Thanks for the welcome.

Pit.

They're held on a special handgun certificate called the Section 7. Other then S7 and muzzle-loaders, and a few odd exceptions, handguns are not legal

Your first post, and we already hate you!...............LOL. A pistol most of us will never be able to own let alone find. The FG-42 is just pulling our chain as well. Where is the UD-40????
Welcome aboard.
