.25 Cal Air Rifle legality in India

Post by rajveer » Fri Oct 07, 2011 4:08 pm

Friends can some one pls guide about the above topic.
If for a moment we assume that a .25 cal air rifle passes the deal wood test and availability of pellets are not a problem.
Can we keep a .25 cal air rifle or air rifle above the cal. of .22 prohibited.

Regards.

The diameter of the bore should not be a problem so long it passes the deal wood test. For understanding it is necessary to read the Central Government notification No. G.S.R 991 dated 13-7-1962, especially the entry No. 1(3) of Schedule II excluding Air gun/rifles/Pistols from the licencing. Copy of the relevant portions of the notification is available at http://www.indiansforguns.com/viewtopic ... 335#p50363
