New addition !
Well after a few days away I returned home with a very welcome addition to my collection along with some spare parts I gathered up on the way.
I have posted some pics on another forum so thought I would share them with our fellow collectors over the Ponds ! Its a little Model 1934 French 25mm Anti-Tank Gun Built by Hotchkiss Paris. I know over in the states these guns are quite common but here in the UK there are only a couple but what makes this particular one unique is that it is from the British contract to supply the BEF for the invasion of France. I bought it from a company who have had it in there possesion since 1946 and in turn bought it from the War Department. The gun is in very good order and in a live firing state so I had to enter it onto my firearms license althought I dont fire any of my Artillery its still nice to 'drop the Block' and take a look up the Barrel.

Nice gun.
What irony...your government has basically disarmed you of small arms yet you legally possess a gun capable of live fire! Bloody politicians.

Going back to Jon's point over here in the UK it really boiles down to the Local county firearms department whether a Section One firearms license is granted to an individual and depending on the county you live in makes a big difference.
I live in North Yorkshire and was one of the first up here to fight for and be granted a Section one license for live Artillery, but made it quite clear I had no intension to fire any weapons or hold any charges so that helped my plea a good deal. I have a good selection on de-activated Artillery but as you get into collecting the rarer breeds it really is a shame to chop them which was another one of my points when fighting for my license.At the moment half my collection are live the rest de-activated so a good mix,I have 20 pieces at present with a few more on the way. Guns don't Kill, people do ! Rob ,if you ever venture over here you are more than welcome to visit. Rob...............rnixartillery. Last edited by rnixartillery; 27-02-13 at 11:16.
