penpusher,

This is VERY interesting news. If you gentlemen want some fine muzzleloaders, there are several superb muzzleloaders available here very cheap and capable of fantastic performance. as you may know, in most of the US no license is required for muzzleloaders and if you want a group buy and someone is ready to co-ordinate on the IFG, I could get you a superb price for some fantastic rifles. The top of the line are the Savage 110 MLs which can shoot both smokeless and black powder and develop as much power as a 30-06 rifle. In double rifles there are several Italian and American double muzzleloading rifles some which could take 200 grain BP loads for tremendous power - I use 90 grains as a deer load and Mark uses an 80 grain load - for comparison. There are also specialised benchrest muzzleloaders available here with spark plug ignition capable of accuracy that would blow peoples' minds away.

If you want muzzleloading handguns there are loads of fine revolvers available and a British company also makes a match pistol for Olympic match which is a muzzleloader - an incredibly accurate design that allows British shooters to participate in Olympic events in their own country.

Let me know if you guys want to do a joint buy - we can work on this. I can also get the NMLRA to endorse and support this programme in India.

Cheers,

Mehul

Hi penpusher,

What are the requirements specified in the MHA Notification No.S.O.667(E) dated 12.09.1985 and Notification No.S.O.831(E) dated 2.8.2002. I suspect its something like Importer should have Arms License.. I am just guessing here. So does than mean that anybody with an arms license can import shotgun barrel?

PS: I've tried google but no help.

Inder,

The notification of 1985 is the infamous notification to ban all arms import through courier / post and being bought by returning Indians.

And the one of 2002 is most probably related to licencing aurhority / procedure ( I am not very sure though).

You will not find the notifications anywhere on net though. I have devoted about a month to search for them in addition to writing to MHA , which needless to say went unanswered. The only option is to visit the shop in Delhi which penpusher refers to get a copy.

penpusher,

This is VERY In double rifles there are several Italian and American double muzzleloading rifles some which could take 200 grain BP loads for tremendous power - I use 90 grains as a deer load and Mark uses an 80 grain load - for comparison. Mehul

200 grains? That would definetely hurt. I use about 65 grains under a 475 grain lead bullet in my .45-70 and wouldnt describe the recoil as overly pleasent.

However back on topic, even if you can import muzzle loaders, where do you get the powder and caps from? The projectlies are easily cast.

[mundaire]

Lead shot, Black powder & Percussion caps (available in at least 2 different sizes) can be purchased (from many arms dealers) against an arms license endorsed for "ML Gun". ML = Muzzle Loading. Very few (if any) dealers in big cities stock this, as such licenses are almost exclusively held by farmers for the purpose of crop protection, but go to small towns and you should be able to find dealers selling the required components.
