Asif,
Some questions and observations:
1. This expo comes at the same time as the much bigger Pakistani IDEAS Expo. I wonder whom the IOFB was trying to target for sales as most products seemed for military sales alone
2. I am apalled that the IOFB would show a Chinese safe. Seeing how much junk the Chinese sell in the USA< I really doubt it could be of any worth. ALso, Alwyn who were owned by the Andhra Pradesh State government used to make gun safes for export. I cannot understand why the IOFB decided to go the Walmart way and sell thie Chinese scrap metal
3. Were the Dragunovs made in India or were they imported? I am suspecting the latter. I am intrigued by the scopes on them as they seem to have departed from the PSO-1s which were their only weak point. I am happy that the army have abandoned the ridiculous Heckler and Koch PSG-1s
4. The revolver looks very disappointing because it seems to have been painted over and not blued or finished in any decent way. It also seems to have a cast frame which, if done properly, may not be a bad thing, but I am skeptical about how the thing may have been built because they have taken a cut all corners several times approach in finishing the things
5. The pump looks like crap. The reason they probably don't want to sell it to civilians is that they are worried about being sued.
If they are going to be sold to our police, then the Naxalites would, most probably, breathe easy. Even with country bows they have little to fear from them
Thanks for taking the time to post this and I can predict that this is going to become a very popular thread,
Mehul
