As most Shotgun we found in India privately owned is a break-action shotgun. Any Legal terms for the purchase and inport of a Pump-Action Shotgun ??

PA shotguns are NPB, so long as the barrel length is at least 20".

As Dr. Jayakumar has mentioned above, private citizens cannot import firearms. For more on the limited circumstances under which import is allowed, see the relevant "sticky" under the Legal Eagle section here.

handled the ordinance factory product just yesterday at an aerodrome where the bird scare squad uses it. they were using it for bird scaring and in single shot mode. no mag no tube feed. they were using it with no 6 shot.
while it was not very well kept but still cycled well it was quite rickety and had a bit of play in most places.

Doc, good to see you back in action! :) Hard to ruin a pump action shotty, they usually digest everything you throw at them. On the other hand semi-auto shotguns can be pretty picky in terms of ammo...
