the first one that only french residents could buy AR and they too need a shooting licence (its different from hunting licence) , buying a AR needs a photo id even for them
the more disappointing news was that they can only buy an Air rifle below 10 joule of ME (aprox 7 lb-ft)
and for all that hassle they were as expensive legally as it is in india
a Daina 21 was Rs. 21,000/- , a Mod 52 was Rs. 53,000/-
add to that the drama at the airport after landing , the customs etc and i dropped the idea
but i need a decent airgun badly
so could anyone with a NRAI or state rifle asso membership volunteer to recieve an airgun on my behalf if i order one from BAR or pyramid. all payment of custom, frieght will be paid in advance. I could not go 1000 km all the way to mumbai to face an interview of Maharashtra Rifle Asso nor shell out rs. 30,000/- for life membership.
May God help you for helping a man in distress
