Pre-Fired Gletcher NGT-F Silver Nagant 1895 CO2 Air Pistol Revolver
More about character than raw performance. The Gletcher NGT-F Silver Nagant 1895 is a full metal 4.5mm BB revolver, styled after the historic Nagant used during the Russian Revolution.
Finished in a rarer silver variant, this one leans heavily into the collector side of things. It is fully functional, but realistically, this is just as suited to being on display as it is for occasional use. Loadable shells keep that revolver feel intact, just don’t expect it to be a tack-driver.
What’s Included
- 6x shells
- Original retail box
Condition – Grade B
- Good overall condition
- Minor scratches to the block
- Well-kept example
A tidy piece that’s been handled, but not heavily worn.
The Important Bit
As a pre-fired item, this revolver:
- Has been function tested
- Shows light cosmetic wear
- Is sold as seen, with no warranty or returns
Final Word
If you’re chasing pure performance, this isn’t it.
If you want something a bit different, with some historical styling and a finish that stands out… this is a solid option without going full collector pricing.
Important — read before purchase or storage.
All CO2 and green‑gas/propane powered guns and magazines are pressure systems and must not be stored pressurised for any length of time outside active shooting. Leaving gas installed will compress internal seals, accelerate permanent leaks, and shorten the life of your gun.
Temperature & Pressure Behaviour
CO2 and propane are temperature‑sensitive: they expand and contract with temperature changes. That expansion can force gas past worn seals or, in extreme heat, rupture seals or valves — creating dangerous failures. Keep guns and magazines out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Cold temperatures reduce pressure and can cause low power or feed problems, so always test a gas gun in the conditions you intend to use it.Always remove or fully vent gas after use. If you’re not shooting, remove the CO2 capsule or vent/empty magazines. Do not store with gas installed.
Lubrication Recommendations
To protect internals and seals we recommend using gas with added lubricants:-
CO2: use lubricated CO2 capsules — UMAREX branded CO2 is our recommendation.
-
Green Gas / Propane: use gas with added lubricant such as Vorsk, UltraAir, Nuprol, or Abbey (Green Gas).
Seal & Lubricant Guidance
-
Apply one drop of silicone oil (for polyurethane seals only — usually green or clear seals) to the tip of every 5 CO2 capsules or before long‑term storage to lubricate the piercing nozzle and protect seals.
-
For silicone seals (typically semi‑translucent white), only use PTFE‑based lubricants (e.g. Super Lube PTFE). Do not use silicone oil on silicone seals.
-
Never use gas cartridges showing rust or visible corrosion.
Leak Expectations & User Responsibility
All gas systems will slowly leak over time. Proper care reduces the rate of leakage but cannot prevent it entirely. Leaving cartridges installed dramatically speeds up seal wear. By using or storing gas guns you accept responsibility for regular maintenance, correct lubricant use, and safe storage.We Test Before Sale
We test every gas‑powered gun prior to dispatch or handover for major leaks and function. This may mean the gun arrives with gas installed — you may choose to use this free gas or vent the gun before storage. Testing does not guarantee seal life or prevent future leaks; seals remain consumable parts.If you’re unsure about seal types, lubricant compatibility, or safe storage, ask us before purchase — we’ll give honest guidance. Failure to follow these recommendations may void warranty or return eligibility where damage is caused by improper storage or lubrication.

Important Notice for the Purchase and Delivery of Airguns, Pressure Components of Airguns, and Moderators
Effective Compliance with the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (VCRA): Sections 31 and 32
Under the provisions of Sections 31 and 32 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, which were enacted through "The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (Commencement No 3) Order 2007: firearms measures," specific regulations now apply to air weapons, their Pressure-Bearing component parts, and certain accessories.
Key Points to Note:
Restricted Items:
- Airguns: All airguns are classified as restricted items.
- Pressure-Bearing Parts of Airguns: This includes barrels, cylinders, reservoirs, and pistons.
- Functional Moderators (Silencers/Suppressors): Moderators that reduce the sound of discharge are also classified as restricted items.
Definition and Registration:
- Component Parts: While the VCRA does not explicitly define "component parts," the Home Office interprets this to include pressure-bearing parts such as barrels, cylinders, reservoirs, and pistons.
- Accessories: Only moderators (silencers) require registration by dealers.
Legal Requirements for Transfer:
- In-Person Transfer: It is an offence under the VCRA to transfer these restricted items through standard postal systems or to the end customer directly without the presence of both the buyer and either the seller or a representative of the seller.
- Representatives of the Seller: This can be:
- An employee of the seller who is a registered firearms dealer (RFD).
- Another RFD authorized by the seller.
- An employee of the authorized RFD.
Collection and Delivery Options:
- Collection from Store: Customers are encouraged to collect their restricted items directly from the store where purchased.
- Transfer to Another RFD: Items can be transferred to a local RFD for collection, though the receiving RFD may charge a fee for this service.
- Home Delivery: We offer home delivery through our in-house team to some areas of the UK. However, please note that this service has location restrictions and incurs higher costs due to the need for dedicated transport, making it more expensive than a standard RFD transfer.
For more detailed guidance on purchasing and receiving VCRA Restricted Transfer items, please refer to our comprehensive guide here: VCRA Restricted Transfer Items Buying Guide
At Vector Air, we know not everyone wants to pay top money for brand-new kit. Sometimes the smarter move is taking a chance on something that’s already lived a bit… and priced accordingly.
Our pre-fired range exists for exactly that reason. These items are cheaper because they’ve been used, handled, and in some cases, worked hard. Some have been lightly run in, others… less so. That’s the trade-off.
Checked, Not Perfect
Every pre-owned item is:
- Visually inspected
- Function tested
- Serviced where we feel it’s needed
That said, we don’t strip every item down to its last spring and seal unless stated. You’re buying something used, not rebuilt to factory spec.
Condition Ratings (Straight to the Point)
- A – As New: Minimal to no signs of use
- B – Light Use: Minor handling or operational marks
- C – Used: Visible wear from regular use
- D – Well Used: Noticeable wear, possible minor quirks
- E – Heavily Used: Significant wear, parts may need attention soon
- F – Worn Out: Likely requires repair or restoration
- G – Spares & Repairs: Non-functional or not economically viable to fix
These grades are our judgment, not a universal standard. Manage expectations accordingly.
Sold As Seen – No Safety Net
All pre-fired items are:
- Sold as seen
- No warranty
- No returns, refunds, or exchanges
Once it’s yours, it’s yours.
Performance Disclaimer (Important Bit)
We confirm items are working at point of sale, but:
- No guarantees on accuracy, consistency, or power output
- No guarantees on longevity or future reliability
- Any figures mentioned are approximate at best
These are used mechanical items. Things wear. Things drift. That’s part of the deal.
Descriptions & Imperfections
We will always try to highlight:
- Major faults
- Obvious defects
- Anything that stands out
But:
- Not every mark, scratch, or internal wear point will be listed
- Photos form part of the description
- General wear should be expected, even if not individually called out
The Reality of Pre-Fired
Let’s not dress it up… this is a bit of a gamble.
You might get something that runs sweet and outperforms expectations.
You might get something that needs a bit of fettling down the line.That’s why it’s cheaper.
Why Take the Chance?
For the right buyer, this is where the value is:
- A solid bit of kit for less money
- A project for someone who knows their way around airguns
- Or just a bargain if luck’s on your side
Final Word
These don’t sit around. If you see something you like, it won’t wait while you think it over for a week.
Just remember what you’re buying:
Not new.
Not perfect.
Not guaranteed.But potentially a very good deal if you know what you’re looking at.
