hi Jimmy
why not email the makers of the gun and ask them to send u some screws. or since its only the trigger guard screws, get same type from any hardware shop.

Re: Airgun import experiences - via personal baggage route
well done jimmy! it is heartening to know your perseverence paid off. btw, did virgin ask you to pack the gun in a seperate case?
as for the trigger guard screws, nagarifle is right. you can try to e mail weirauch/chambers and see if you can get them directly. if all fails , pm me on the details and i'll see if i can send some across.
just in passing, even after detaching the stock from the action, i usually screw the trigger guard back on. it protects the trigger and the screws. learnt it from the chap i bought my 77k from.

Tirths,
Once again your post has been split from the thread it was posted on and merged with this (more relevant) thread. May I also take this opportunity to remind everyone here that cross-posting (posting the same thing on multiple threads), is considered very poor practice on online forums (with good reason).
Cheers!
Abhijeet

Re: Airgun import experiences - via personal baggage route
March 21, 2008
One more day spent with chennai Airport with Customs. The person whom I am interacting with is one of the Asst. Commissioner. A true gentleman! He is really humble to help me out. EXIM policy, Notification no. 52 which is really holding him to clear my item. We together sat in front of a PC and browsing the net to find the way out. I took him to this forum too!
He was trying to find out if the item can be called as a toy? However the Forensic report says it is indeed an air rifle. He wanted to ensure, there shouldn't be any legal issues opens up if he clears it.
I almost lost my hope to get the gun out. Trying to find out if any clearance agent can be of any help. Or may be a legal advisory on exim ground.
However, The AC told me, if I can produce any proof, that shows similar item has been cleared without any club membership, that will allow him to clear my item.
Can anyone provide any document as such to me?

Re: Airgun import experiences - via personal baggage route
Tirths,
I have written about my experiences in getting my airgun released which came in through courier. I did not have a club membership. Think I still might have the papers and stuff(customs related) which I got on the release of my airgun. Let me know if you might need anything from that. I will be more than glad to send it across to you.

Re: Airgun import experiences - via personal baggage route
Hi Prabhath,
Thanks man. Can you please send me the scan copy of all the documents which allowed you clear your gun from customs. Furthermore, customs might have given some clearance certificate too, I think that will be more beneficial in my case.
You may like to send me by mail [email protected] if forum permits or post it here.
Regards,
Tirtha

Tirths,
Scanning the papers will take a long time. I can send you copies of the papers by courier. Mail me your address to [email protected] with airguns in the subject line.
