Perhaps a Canadian can explain why these Webley .455's are favored/exempted under their current rigid handgun restrictions. A few years ago, I sold two of these .455 Webleys to Canadians that made special arrangements to pick them via a Seattle FFL dealer.
Well, it is convoluted but basically revolvers of a certain vintage are prescribed antiques. With exception of certain chamberings (and barrel length restrictions) there is no firearms certificate required or import restriction.
http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/antique-historique-eng.htmSounds enviable but unlike in US our pre-1898 center-fire shotguns are not antiques if 10, 12, 16, 20, or 28 ga.
