Power Sport Air Rifle, Kolkata

[bajrang]

Dear fellow IFGians,
I have been studying airguns on this forum and attempting to digest humungous information on this forum.
I want to thank all IFGians for the information provided here.
Today I bought an air-rifle and an air-pistol and wish to share the photographs of the former in this post.
Air-rifle Description:
Model and make: Power Sport Air Rifle, Kolkata, Mod 65
Type: spring-piston, break barrel
Ammo: 0.22 cal
Weight : 4 kgs approx
Price: Rs.3100/-
Since I am a complete novice , I really cannot comment on the performance of the air-rifle.
If someone could describe tests in a compact and orderly manner , I would be grateful (May have missed in the search, if so then I am sorry)
I shall promptly conduct the tests and post the report.
I take this opportunity to profusely thank this forum and its enthusiastic members.
warm regards,
PS: Sorry if I have used the wrong section of the forum.

Hi Bajrang,
> Congrats on your new acquisition!
> The gun looks good / quite similar to Canon LG65 made in Kolkata.
> Get a box each of 14gr Mastershot or Magnashot Roundhead & Flat-head(Wad-cutters) pellets.
> In an open area where there are no people, houses, cattle etc nearby up to 100 yards, set up paper targets(you can get these from the shop where you purchased your gun) at a distance of approx. 30ft.
> Use a bench rest and shoot 5 pellets per target(use flat-heads) - while shooting do not hold / grip your gun too tightly
> Aim for the black circle (bulls eye) - at its lower end - this is called the 6'Oclock hold.
> When the gun's sights are aligned with the target gently "SQUEEZE" the trigger - don't pull or jerk it.
> As a first timer if you hit all your shots within a 1 1/2" circle - then you have an accurate gun & your shooting skills are also reasonably good. Practice makes the shooter perfect!!!
> Lastly get a membership to an Air Rifle Shooting Club - Since you are in Pune check with Balewadi - Its really worth being a member as you will progressively learn a lot.
> Good Luck / Happy Shooting!
Cheers

Dear Brihacharan,
Thank you for your valuable instructions!
I shall post the airgun reports soon.
warm regards,

The gun looks exceptionally well. Better than than Canon 35. The cheek piece looks particularly nice. Chequering also looks cool.

Nice to see that the gun comes with a peep sight and muzzle brake (?).

Overall, look wise this gun outsmarts many of its Indian brothers.

Regards
BDG

Bajrang, thank you for your review of M/s Badruddin Abdultayeb, your post on your dealings with them have been split into a new topic in the appropriate forum (see http://www.indiansforguns.com/viewtopic ... 29&t=15583 ). This makes it easier for members/ visitors to look up relevant information.

Cheers!

Any way to mount a scope on this rifle ?
And if possible any appropriate place to buy 1 in and around Pune ?

I bought this gun in Mangalore. Couldnt test this gun as I work in Bangalore and had to come back the same day I bought it but managed to fire a couple of shots.
Cocking effort was hard compared to my old Webley, trigger was soft, But seemed to be powerful.
This muzzle brake and the stock makes this gun a absolute beauty.
Cannot comment on the accuracy as it has not been fired much. I will try to test when I am back home

As usual , I have some queries

1) What is the length of the barrel and is it rifled ?
2) What sort of barrel locking mechanism does the rifle have ? Chisel or Ball catch ?
3) What sort of provisions are provided for mounting a scope on it ?

Do post another report after putting approximately 1000 pellets through the barrel , that's when the gun has been properly broken in . We can do a comparison then .

Nice looker, she is! The chequering, peep sight and the overall shape make it a joy to behold.

For the Mumbaikars who might be interested, I saw the same thing at M Saleh's in Mumbai, about 3 weekends back. Only hitch in the looks department is the very large branding / logo on the sides of the stock. Nothing a bit of elbow grease on the stock will not take care of!

Does Air gun barrels comes with rifling ?

[jrasquinha]

Hello,
On vacation in mangalore and just got a chance to check this rifle.
Barrel length: 19.5 inches.
Barrel is rifled and has a chisel locking mechanism.
Got about 200 shots today through the barrel and zeroed it to 15 meters and accuracy is okay. I had to use Target brand .22 pellets which are of low quality as the GSmith high split dont fit
