This revolver has won several medals and certificates at Bisley in competitions, organised by the NRA, Army Rifle Association and South London Rifle Club, mostly in their repeating pistol competitions. These competitions are: Slowfire, Timed Fire, Rapid Fire, Surrenden and Bobber. The revolver has been completely reliable and superbly accurate. Currently set for a bottom of paper hold at 25 yards (HBSA 25 yard target). This is all you need to start muzzle loading, will still be good when you start to enter competitions and is great fun to shoot. Loads can be varied from mild to mighty!
The price is £650 for all the above. Near offers will be considered for a quick sale if you already have the appropriate variation.
If you have an explosives licence for black powder there is an unused bottle of black powder and if you have blackpowder substitute on your explosives licence there is a full tub of Triple Seven plus a bit more in an opened tub. These are not included in the sale price but are free to the purchaser with appropriate license (not available separately).
*This is (correctly) on my ticket as a .44 m/l revolver but is is also sold as a .45 m/l revolver so your variation should be for “one .44 m/l revolver” or “one .44/.45 m/l revolver”. If you have “one .45 m/l revolver” this is also possible - contact me for details. Ruger changed the calibre designation (but not the calibre – they are all .457) half way through production, this made no difference to Americans but messes up our firearms licensing laws.
I also have a number of Section 7 Heritage pistols and revolvers for sale ask for more details.
Available to view by FAC holders in Hastings area or at Bisley by arrangement.
