You can't import in bulk, as the commercial import of airguns is not (yet) permitted...

Why do we need them, does an average Chinese Air Rifle perform any better than the IHP National ? I am doubtful on this. Often the CHinese ones are pretty crude.
In quality they will be much like the lesser Air rifles made in India.
They retail at about Rs. 1100 odd in these parts, which is close to the price of a locally made lesser ( Non IHP ) air rifle in the Indian market today.

i disagree.. i've got a b-40 in and you can ask a few Delhi members about its performance..
as per me it rocks for its price

What is the price and how good is the rifle ? Can you post some pics, and are Chinese AIr Rifles actually imported and sold in India or you have purchased it from a dealer an imported piece by some other individual ?

I ditto that. Sid's B40 shoots great and the trigger is awesome too. I have a China mada Beeman P17 which is a great pistol for its price.

dit costed me about 270$ plus postage and duties...
imported it from u.s.
checkout B-40 on pyramidair.com, it's a replica of tx-200
you can even read it's review or for even for the qb series. Dev's got it and trust me she shoots good
cheers

Usually if it is china made ignore Shanghai made except this AR1000

But you will find many variant of this. Mine one is Hammerli Titan $125 and really sweet gun. TF 89 also the same. Or Beeman SS series.
All of them have a great 2 stage trigger. Little tune will be like a dream.
On the other hand BAM makes quality gun as per review. Sid, we expect a review from you too! But because trigger is not an absolute clone of HW difficult to get second stage.

What you or Dev has seem to be standard products, but these 100 Dhs. Chinese Air rifles sold here in grocery shops are crude and inferior to IHP National.

the Shanghai Air Rifle factory is the one that was given the tooling dies of the Crosman 160 by Tim of Mac1airguns. Which is why the QB 78 is such a great rifle.

Dev,
I am saying they cannot make other products. But when comes to making a springer, they fails from the quality side.

Tirtha are you saying that they can make everything but a springer better?
Well their b20 series is a very close copy of the beeman r series which the Americans tune and quite love. In fact their b-40 the TX 200 clone is again another springer that shoots very smooth.
Their very cheap end ones, the ones that sell for $24 or less might however be another story.

Dev,
BAM and Industry are not the same.
Industry based on Shanghai and BAM outside Shanghai.
BAM Makes B26 B40 not Industry.
