Indians For Guns

The year was 1980 , and the venue was a firing range at Deepatoli ( a small cantt near Ranchi), where I first discharged my dad's 30 carbine (US)and 9 mm Llama (Spain),,,
Since then , I used to date those beauties ,every Sunday.
My passion grew to such an extent that I started collecting fire arms
I have earlier posted some assorted pics and and now I am posting few more

Enjoy viewing

Regards
Vivek
