Are magazines importable in personal baggage?

Folks,

I have an IOF30-06 which comes with a three shot magazine, and I was wondering if I could ask someone coming in from Europe or the US to bring me a five shot Sauer 202 or 203 magazine in his personal baggage. Would it be possible? Would anyone have any idea of the legal issues at the point of embarkation or alighting here in India? Moreover, assuming that there would not be any problem, how many could he bring? Say two or three?

Regards

no.you cant.
because govt has banned import of arms and accessories since 86.magazines comes under this.
better u enquire to some dealers in the yellow pages. i did so to get one walther pp mag and got one but costed much a lot.thought better than a legal issue with home dept.
