Indians For Guns

In my search for a dbbl I have found a 16 bore dbbl seems to be in good shape (I'll post a pic once I figure out how ) . My question is 1. Is 16 bore ammo hard to come by and how much should it cost. 2. How much can I pay for it considering it's in good condition. 3.what do I have to look out for in usage when compared to a 12 bore. Gracias.

It's a Belgian make

Any experienced knowledgeable good Samaritans, pulweze shead some light...

Hello 3:10, we cross paths again. A photo or two may get you some expert help. A 16 gauge cartridge costs around Rs.250 when I last checked locally.

Seriously! I thought Shaktiman/ Dwaraka Arms of Bellary produced 16-bore cartridges. Do they cost the same?

As CP said, do post a few photos. You can attach them to your post.

Just found out that his license has already expired ... Looks like the gun is headed to spend the rest of it's life in an ol gov room

Correct, those were Shaktimans and prices raised in the name of limited availability. Haven't checked in the cities.

There is a khurmi 12 bore available with clean unpitted barrels for 35k would it be worth it ?

It has flash hiders on both barrels

Flash hiders on a double barrel shotgun? Interesting. Do you mean ported? Is it possible to post photos?

Nope, these definitely were flash hiders attached to the muzzle.. sure willdo

Since seller is not in a condition to negotiate give the least quote as the ammo is scarse.

I had seen very less quantity of 16 bore ammo .

I had ordered some 20 cartridge which cost 200+i forgot the price.

If you are keen about 16 bore gun then only go for it.

For ammo u can use 12 bore cartridge as a refill alternative to 16 bore spent case

Are you by any chance suggesting here that he can use 12-bore cartridges in a 16-bore gun? If that is the case , he can seriously injure himself or may even kill himself. That the gun would be busted is less of a concern here.

No sir .

Since 16 bore cartridge is scares he could get some finger countable carts.

After firing them he could use the powder and primer from a 12 bore ammo and he could refil the 16 bore spent shell .

its better to avoid options. Except the legality issue ( Even if a person can manage that Part) most of us is not trained for reloading plus the reloading equipment.
If its a passion for that particular weapon then it is all different matter otherwise good weapon with a regular Cal. is more handy.

Reloading for personal use is perfectly legal.
