Hi,
It's a Vostok 22. My first pistol was a S&W Model 41. I bought the Vostok to keep going to the very end.

I must admit I'd never heard it called a Margolin before.

There is where you and I disagree - it was not necessary. There were other ways to handle it. But as usual politicians only look for simple solutions as they reel from one knee-jerk reaction to a headline, to another.David Nimrod wrote:I regularly look at this photo, precisely to remind myself of what was stolen from me...Alpha1 wrote:

Painful: Yes!
But necessary too, I reckon.

How, in what possible remote way was it necessary to ban handguns (or SLR's for that matter) thanks to events that happened due to a dereliction of duty by those who could have prevented such things from happening. Answer is in the question maybe?
Political Correctness is the language of lies, written by the corrupt , spoken by the inept!

It's necessary to keep looking at the photos I have, of my pistols.
To remind myself how immoral political expediency can be!
Why on earth would I support the banning of my own guns

Interesting link for anyone who remembers the "Vostock-Margolin" pistols. The photo of the cased pistol is exactly how mine came, but all the bits were wrapped in brown greasy paper.

What would be the legal position of getting a .22lr Margolin modified to comply with the LBP law?.....a bit sacrilegious but would it be doable by a Sec5 RFD and then put on Sec1?.Or would it be a case that it would always be sec5?.
