LOL, the more you shoot it the better it gets. Just shoot to glory :) It will not harm the rifle.

IHP=indian hume pipe=National.
IHP has its own website,you can get dealer list from it.
Tommy was initially made in calcutta(dont know the present scene),you can easily get it from chennai arms dealers..

Remember to use blue thread locker on the stock screws. Really helps with keeping the airgun accurate.

Dear Friends,
I visited ihp dealer in Chennai. He says ihp 35 model .22 as Rs.5400 and .177 as Rs.5200. Is it correct?
He also has Tommy models,Savage and Aimco... Confused now and can anyone help which one to go in for?
My uncle suggests to go in for Diana only even its expensive coz in Indian makes he says will last perfect only for 200 shots or so then spring tension differs so it will not help and we need to change. Is it true? Can anyone inform how much will it cost to change spring in indian makes?
regards...

Tommy is an excellent rifle when you use Channa Dal as the ammunition instead of pellets and the target is just a few feet out of reach to knock with the barell ends.

But then this was Tommy about a decade and a half ago... things might have changed...

I have one Tommy 35,which was bought some 15 years back,the unique thing about this is that you can very well adjust its trigger and make it as soft as possible,good power and with cherokee spring ,it generate huge velocity.

In terms of power,I had one Hunter 50 of Kolkata,when fitted with Cherokee spring,initial 200 shots made things into pulp.To my mind one has to be very careful while shooting with this for utter damage if not taken care.

Models of Tommy have changed over time.
They make msot of their guns with direct trigger mechanism.
Yet they have one model ,called Tommy 65 , most probably,
which has trigger adjustable mechanism same like Cannon35/65.
At middle range , that may be worth buying.
