I am celebrating on a different note. 'Jonahpack' and 'Nagarifle' now need not despatch a fully chaged-up horse or Saint Bernard for Her Majesty's service. The life of the horse has been saved. For, the poor chap must have died and nothing would have happened to her.
Cheers....

Hello Sir,

I hav placed an enquiry with the FedEx and other agents at the Custom Houses... lets see what comes out...

Besides, it is not only the imports, it is a good news for the sports... and also the local manufacturers... maybe some day they will come out with export quality weapons... so that we won't have to take the pain of importing... :)

hello mr nazeef .
any updates form fedex or other agents ?

Dear Arjun,

The guns are still lying with customs, and they haven't been released yet. It might take 3-4 weeks.

Regards,
Arrun

Welcome to the forum Bond Chaubey....

read this post from the beginning.
before shortlisting understand the difference between the technology of air guns.
then select your type Airgun or Air rifle. after that shortlist your choice.
and it seem like you just re formatted your system or might be you replaced battery of your mother board.
Update your computers date to current.

Camera and Guns both need a close eye.

Custom has started clearing the Air Rifle from today so guys you can import your weapons but New law has come up stating ONLY FOUR AIR RIFLE can be import in a YEAR (according to my knowledge from this year it is applied) :D Please confirm it,

Thanks :cheers:
