Product Description
The INERT .461 Gibbs No. 2 BB round is a rare and highly collectible piece of British ammunition history, showcasing the innovation of late 19th and early 20th-century firearms design. Developed by George Gibbs of Bristol, England, the .461 Gibbs cartridge was originally designed for use in single-shot rifles, primarily for target shooting and hunting. Its reputation for accuracy and power made it a popular choice among competitive marksmen and sportsmen of its era.
This round, referred to as the No. 2 BB (Black Powder Express), is characterized by its large case capacity, designed to accommodate black powder, and its heavy projectile. The combination of these features provided excellent ballistic performance, suitable for both long-range accuracy and effective stopping power against medium to large game.
Fully deactivated, this INERT round contains no live primer, propellant, or powder, ensuring it is completely safe for handling, display, and collection. The brass casing and bullet retain their original craftsmanship, with markings that highlight its authenticity and historical significance.
Ideal for collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of vintage British ammunition, the INERT .461 Gibbs No. 2 BB round is a fascinating artifact. Its historical and technical significance make it an excellent addition to any collection of deactivated or antique cartridges.
