Also this one by Marushin, it ejects the shells!!!!

Watch the video at: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/pistols-gbb- ... l-6mm.html

Now, I have a proposal; perhaps IFG can source these stuff and make them available for the members to buy?

I don't think any organization apart from NRAI and affiliate clubs can legally import air guns. Only individuals with valid shooting club membership are eligible to import .177 air guns/pistols/revolvers etc

IFG is not a NRAI affiliated club so importing air guns is out of question.

Then let's get it NRAI affiliated; if we divide the charges among all the members, it's going to be possible.

That would be the first step towards making RKBA a widespread phenomenon. Once the affiliation comes (quote: CZ Harry), then we shall have our say.

IFG is not a club its just a website. I think you need land as a first step to build a club and then many other things which require BIG money. So how much are you willing to donate Rottlord? :lol:

It's not how much I want to donate Inder, it's about how much we all can. If a thousand members put in 1K each (the min. limit), calculate how much it may come to. Regarding a shooting ground, we may take the same step as South Kol rifle club did; they use the Police Training School shooting range every Sunday. But we need serious people at every city to build the branch offices; here in Kol, I'm sure that Jayanta, Lawman and Mr. P. Sircar shall put in their efforts; as an errand-runner, I shall always be there.

BTW, have u ever ventured to the Johnson Market side? I miss Hotel Select and Fanoos. :cry:

Rottlord,

I would suggest you become a member of NRAI without delay.You can import most air guns and it might just help you in getting your license etc. Linking everything to IFG may not be the fastest way to get things done.Since you bring it up very frequently, check how many people volunteered to work for GFI when it was started.I mean no disrespect to anyone who did not volunteer but it remains a fact that without numbers and resources, what you suggest is a bit difficult to materialise.Meanwhile, give thought to what can be done that does not involve too much effort from people.One can only speak for one's self and request politely from others.

Best-
Vikram

Yep, Vikram, I downloaded the required forms; let's see what happens next. It's big money game, so can't get things done overnight. But definitely, u showed me the silver lining. :)

If very few people volunteered, the first time, that does not mean we give up, to try the second time.......

Quite a few members live outside India and that limits the amount of time one can invest. It is perhaps not really a question of willingness but practical possibilities of being in India when required. Does it help to run some kind of a signature campaign and get that supported by monetary contribution as and when required? I'm sure most, if not all, of the members would have no problem contributing 1K towards making IFG into a club.

Hi guys!!
I am a newbie in the world of guns and I can’t explain how much IFG has helped me gain information about these marvelous things.

Just wanted to nose in and let you guys know what a wonderful idea you have come up with!!!
If you guys are confused as to how many people will volunteer then you can put in a thread asking for the same. See how many guys put their name in!!

By the way if something wonderful like this happens then I would be more than happy to be a part of it!!

What about the PFC guns? I plan to gift one of the TAnaka PFC to a cousin (13 years old) of mine this Diwali.
