I have just got myself a Colt .38 (NSP)

It is an old weapon and would appreciate any ideas for its care.

Any folks with NSP weapons please PM. C/80

Looks like a Colt Army .38 made somewhere around the turn of the last century

Wow, Tarzonboy, What is the procedure to get similar weapons that reach the 'ordinance depot' ???

Well, if you read my first post.... it is a NSP weapon. that stands for Non Service Pattern .

So the procedure is : -

You have to be a military officer

Apply to the Army Ordinance

Wait.......for a long time....

and then if you are lucky you will be allotted one whenever available.

Congratulations Tarzanboy73. This weapon indeed has an interesting history behind it.

Am still serving so do not need a license...the mha is still awaiting clarification with what to do with post 82 defence allottees....once that is clear, shall either get a license or return the weapon to cod before retiring

Congrats my uncle has a same probably not as old, his issues were with hammer/trigger related it would not fire properly with double action. One sometimes had to manually cock the hammer and fire. Have it checked from competent gun smith
