[arshjeet]

Hi Everyone,

I would like to import a barrel for one of my buddy's 1903 colt pistol. Can i legally do it ?
Members living abroad can suggest where i can buy it in States or Canada. Help will be appreciated.
And I'm not sure if this most suitable place for this topic

AFAIK, according to current indian laws it is next to impossible to legally import a firearm and/or any of its parts. One option could be to 'export' the handgun by taking it with oneself on a foreign trip, get it repaired with the necessary spares and then have it 'imported' back again. But, I believe that this is also possible only in 'theory' and I am not particularly conversant with the actual procedures.
