Hi,
My new IHP Mod 35B (what is mod 35 B??) has the same issue and so was grouping very well but shooting 4 inches high at 10 yards at the lowest setting. An easy fix for this was to attach a brass tip to the foresight and increase its height by 1 mm. this seemed to work and now the gun is now very accurate.

Any idea what MOD 35 B is for???
Also does this model have a synthetic or leather washer?
Thanks
/S/

Thankyou very much Ronish, but my bent barrel is of a different type.

If you look down the muzzle on my IHP, you can make out the muzzle to be slightly up and to the left.
Its not affecting the shooting but I am just upset that IHP is surely capable of better manufacturing
standards and they are not adhering to it. I am also going to write to them about this.

I think the IHP 35B was a souped up version of the IHP 35, with a rubber recoil pad and other goodies. But sadly down the line 35B became a standard 35.

All IHP springers today have synthetic washers so make sure oil based lubes don't enter the compression tube.

I happened to see an older IHP 35 couple of days back, that had the peep sight. Must say both the metal and wood work was much, much better than present day IHPs. I made an offer to the owner but was politely refused.

Of course even I won't part with my new IHP 35B if I had no chance of getting another. The accuracy is superb. The metal finish (bluing) is rich and deeep, The wood is so so, with lots of filling in places and the worst part, the angles are not true. But hey she can shoot well.

Specifically among the IHP .177 and .22 calibre air rifles, springers only, which is an ALL PURPOSE / MULTIPURPOSE calibre among the two calibres.Experts your opinions on this is valuable.

That depends on what you mean by Multipurpose.
Hunting is banned in india - so Plinking and target shooting is all that you can do.
Both .22 and .177 are good for plinking but for competition shooting you need a .177.
If you want to shoot Crows - then you can use both .177 or .22 provided that they both are in good condition and can ensure clean kills - so in this scenario .177 would be a multipurpose airgun - target shooting and Pest control

.177 is not good for pest control is what a few people think. however if the shot placement is right and within range then it is an efficient tool.

Hope this answers your question.

Sure Sniper, Thank you.

I saw this guy in my locality with a 0.22 shooting at pigeons!! I read somewhere that pigeons are also regarded as pests! so, is it allowed? as in can he get into trouble for doing that?

I'm asking cuz i too have a prob of pigeons making a nest over my window A/C. its like endless noise and sh1tting on clothes and stuff! so i was wondering if i could just shoot em with my 0.22!??

Somewhere in this forum Abhijeet had posted comparison pics of a diana and a IHP - can someone please post the link for the same.

these IHPs are good for short ranges...I have two .22 B35s and one .177 B35....all guns shoot well at 45m...the guns have some flaws however...the C section below the receiver which holds the stock screws is hot plugged into the receiver...in course of time it gives up...better to spot weld on the sides to the receiver...drill, tap 6mm holes to it, use 6mm philips gold screws with some loctite...the same goes with the main screw at the trigger which holds the receiver...use only loctite here...also....the sliding lock at the breech does not hold up well when this gun shoots...check for firm locking mechanism while buying the gun....for one of my guns I used a slightly oversized synthetic nylon O ring as a breech washer which worked...ie providing an okay lock as well ensuring no leakage of air...these guns work well with lighter pellets...I use either Gsmith pointed head or flat wadcutters...for maintenance....use felt pellets every 500 shots...lightly oil the spring and compression port with a few drops of oil every 1000shots or when the gun squeaks...it'll keep the gun going...in my opinion this is the best Indian gun available till date...brands like GNW, SDA, UTA etc.. are absolutely useless...

Dear Mr Jeetesh , I need certain clarification and help from your shared information and experience. I too have aN IHP 35B model air rifle purchased recently. Firstly do you mean to say after screwing the side screws from the wooden stock into the receiver frame and then weld the screws to the receiver frame ? Secondly the side screws attached to the frame through the stock is fine but the problem I am encountering is that the main screw at the trigger guard which holds the receiver starts to unscrew / loosen up after firing some pellets ,how to rectify this ?
Also as you have mentioned this gun works well with lighter pellets so please suggest which brand of Indian air rifle pellet in .22 calibre is the lightest and best suited.

Dear Amaresh...if required, separate the receiver/barrel assembly from the stock by unscrewing the two fore end stock screws and the long screw in front of the trigger....check whether the metal ''C'' section below the receiver (front) holding on to the front stock screws is not shaky or loose...if found loose/shaky, then have it brazed only...leave alone if it is okay...coming to the rear screw, use some loctite/teflon tape on it to hold it in place...do not over tighten this as it could interfere with the sear catch capability...the gun might fire unexpectedly...the best pellets for this gun are Master Shot flat heads (wadcutter)...GSmith flat heads are good too, but a tad heavier and tighter on the bore, hence reduced velocity...

Jeetesh thank you very much for your advice.
