newbie question on MGC colt 45

Hi All

i am a newbie to the sight and was looking for some help ,i have just got hold of an old MGC colt listed as 44-40 long blank on the guns frame .
does anyone know if i can get any cartridges for this and if they are the same as the MGC winchester carts .
would also be really good if i could get hold of a spare cylinder as i think the one in the gun i have has had some work done to it making it none original

Hello katanafae and welcome to the forum

Francky's e-mail address is hak64500(at)rio.odn.ne.jp

There are no problems at all importing spare parts and consumables like cartridges and caps into the UK.
These are unaffected by the VCRA legislation.
You may have to pay VAT to HM Customs if they decide to impose it though.

I'm sure our MGC Colt .45 owners will be able to help you with your questions. Francky is very knowledgable, so is John at PlugFireCapGunsUK, Kevin at Modelguncollector.co.uk is also very helpful.
Jay at Modelguns-Worldwide (France) has been off-line since last April unfortunately

thanks for the reply i will be in touch francky

any help from anyone will be much appreciated

i have seen the web sight for model gun collector and have tried to contact them but have had no reply as yet , i was hoping to get in touch as well because of a possible purchase .

many thanks

Hi Katanafae,

It's a pleasure to try to help

I'm sure both PlugFireCapGunsUk and ModelGunCollector will reply to your enquiries soon. Be aware that although buying spare parts and consumables poses no problems at all, should you be considering buying a Modelgun or any "Replica Imitation Firearm" you must comply with the Violent Crimes Reduction Act
Basically, to buy a complete Modelgun, you MUST be a Re-enactor, Airsoft Skirmisher, TV/Film
Company, Museum etc.
There are plenty of articles here giving full details, just use the Search feature and key in VCRA.
