Had a good day firing my IOF 12 gauge, 30'' shotgun for the first time at a club range. Accompanied with Senior IFG members from dehradun, the experience in shooting arena was phenomenal. Fired several shots and the feel was just amazing'' Bam Bam''. The gun responded nicely except couple of mis fires from left chamber.Some adjustments (extension) on the firing pins are already done by a local gunsmith as required. The IOF guns has history of issues with firing pins and the spring (kamani) which experts says need to be fixed on all IOF shotguns. Will check with the gunsmith
Would like to add up on the forum that no matter IOF 12 gauge is an indian made gun but it fires letal and has the ability to kill.

Mr.ngrewal,
Thanks for the feed back. Couldn't post pictures this time as I was more concentrating on my gun shoot rather than my cam shoot. Will do both next time sir. Yes certainly I will follow safety rules.
Regards,
Zaheer

It was indeed a lovely day.
Corbett 99 and Pran were with us as well.
We tried trap shooting with Zaheer's gun.
Also fired his beautiful .22 pistol.
Also tried Pran's .22 rifle.
Unfortunately we did not carry the camera.
Hey Zaheer.
You must put up some snaps of your pistol here.
