Indians For Guns

Hi guys.....gd eve....i'm new to this forum.
I am a resident of palakkad dt of kerala. I had planned to buy a IHP national .177/ .22 cal air pistol as a beginner to airgun shooting field. The only armoury in my district doesn't have one and neuther have I succeeded in finding out a dealer who can send me the same through post or courier. searched for weeks together in the web but to no avail. Searched the aimco site n sites of Indian arms corporation but got no response. Aimco responded that they are out of stock of the same.
i am totally clueless as to how I can manage to get one. Kindly advice me frnds.......
also i would like to know if my choice of a ihp national is a fair bet or not as a beginner in the field?
kindly help me out. I'm so very interested in shooting. i do owe a commando .22 air rifle n am pretty a good shot at it, of course in a totally un professional way..... Bt i wish to sincerely engage myself in the field of air gun shooting.
Thank you.....n hope my dreams will come true......

Hello there,
As far as plinking is concerned, any gun can help you. If you are seriously into target shooting, better get into the competition mode. I am just a novice in this field. Better wait for the Big guns to respond. No matter what, try to get into a shooting club with affiliation to a district/ state / national club. It will help you to get better guns. Not better aptitude. Best of Luck.

Hi navneeth,

Welcome to IFG. Have you tried contacting Cochin Armoury, in Kochi? You can get their contact no. through the net. They usually have it.

Regards

i suggest that you wait until aimco is back in stock. they are the best.

hii navneeth,
i am from kollam. i am also in search of a good air rifle. i think you are not going to get it in palakkad. better come to cochin, try either at cochin armoury or at jacobs armoury. both are good. aimco is good but you have to pay the freight charges around Rs.800-1000. the best available indian model is national (IHP). for .177 national 35 air rifle the price is Rs.3750/- at jacobs at trivandrum. must be same at cochin also. If you are seriously looking into target shooting, better go for national.phone number of cochin armoury is 0484 2371598 & jacobs armoury is 0484 2355149.

Don't waste your money on IHP or any other Indian spring air pistol. Save some more and get your self an IHP 10mtr competition air pistol or if you just want for plinking, any used foreign air pistol.
