Hi Prasad,

I always thought u were already a member here. Ur products have a massive fan following here already. Remember having spoken to Mr.Kulkarni on his last visit to Delhi a few days back regarding the regular posts about G. Smith products on the forum.

Look forward to hearing more from you.

Welcome aboard Prasad! You'll find plenty of your customers here as well as a healthy interest in your products. My own experience with your products is limited to a shotgun cleaning kit I'd seen Rusty use on his father in laws shotgun, and it seemed to be a well made kit of good quality...

Hope you enjoy your stay here :)

Cheers!

Prasad,welcome to IFG.

A couple of questions regarding your firm and gun dealership.

1.You claim to be the sole importers and distributors of , Dianawerk , Feinwerkbau,Walther,Morini, Baikal and Fabarms:-

Now we know that at present, only those who have reached the MQS in the Nationals can import firearms.They can import directly and without paying any duty.At least one of our members is in the process of doing that.Import of firearms by a dealer has not been allowed for over 4 decades.

Import of air rifles has been opened up to any member of a rifle association National / state/district.They can also import directly as some of our members have already done.

So what does this claim mean?

2.Your website lists the products that you sell,however the price is not quoted anywhere.

3.Your site also does not list any distributor of your products in other parts of the country.Not all our members are based in Pune or nearby.Would not mind getting you cleaning kits.So far have been getting aluminium/brass rods and getting them machined on a lathe as the ones that are there in the market are shoddily and cheaply manufactured

There seems to have been a glitch in quality control.

Asked Zubin to pick up rifle cleaning kits for the .30-06, .22lr and extra PB brush and wool mop for the 12 gauge kit on my behalf as I did not know if I would have had the time to visit their shop during my December visit.

Turns out the bristles and/or the wool was stuck to the brass holder and was coming out in his hands.

This is unfortunate as I really rated their cleaning products over the ones available from Phor Gun.
