Percussion Guns Page

All percussion muzzle loading guns made after the outbreak of WW2 in 1939 require a Section 1 FAC.

Those made prior to this event are classed as Section 58 (2) antiques and no licence is required.

However the laws are still valid for antique Percussion guns :

Antique guns are on sale to COLLECTORS ONLY, to be kept as a curio or ornament, as per Home Office Guidelines Section 58 (2). Persons wishing to buy any antique must not be a prohibited person and can legally purchase and own such items clearly defined under the new Provisions 108-111 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act. These provisions came into force on Monday 14 July 2014.
