They are legal but hard to find. A gun similar, and with easier to make ammo, and for a third of the price, are the antique MAS 1873 revolvers (often converted to 45acp, which necessitates low pressure handloads). The design of the Nagant was somewhat based on it so it keeps a similar profile, and the reloading components are easy to get ahold of
