Buying Remington Model 95 Pistols and Handguns
Licensing
The licence required depends on the type of handgun. Most modern cartridge pistols and revolvers in the UK must meet the long-barrel or long-barrel revolver specifications to be held on a standard Firearms Certificate (FAC). Muzzle-loading pistols are Section 1 firearms and also require an FAC. Antique pistols in obsolete calibres may qualify as Section 58 curios and can be held without a licence, though always confirm the status of a specific listing with the seller. Deactivated firearms require a deactivation certificate but no firearms licence.
If you are unsure which category a listing falls into, ask the seller directly before making any offer.
What to check
Confirm that the seller holds the appropriate documentation for the firearm and that it matches any listing description. For Section 1 firearms, verify the seller's FAC details and ensure the transfer will be completed correctly. For antique or deactivated pieces, ask to see the relevant certificate or proof of antique status before purchasing. Inspect the action, barrel and overall condition, and request any available history or provenance for collector pieces.
Safe storage
An FAC specifies storage requirements. If you are acquiring a Section 1 pistol, ensure your gun safe meets police guidelines before completing the purchase.
Selling Your Pistol?
Include the type, calibre, action, overall length and licensing status in your listing. Confirm whether the item is Section 1, antique, deactivated, or dealer-only stock. Clear photographs and full documentation details help buyers assess compliance and condition quickly.
