Hello everyone

yess....i am back with another good news....

got my rifle today....its .177 Gamo Whisper CSI Camo. ordered it from pyramydair.com on 27th of this month and it arrived today in excellent condition

now coming to the experience part :
1. ordered from pyramydair.com, paid using paypal
2. got a confirmation (computer generated) email from pyramydair(same day)
3. received tracking number via email(next morning)
4. on 30th got a call from fedex, guy on the phone asked for soft copies of my membership card, letter from shooting club, invoice of rifle, authorization letter(that said "i authorize FEDEX to act as my clearing agent...blah blah blah")
5. and finally got it today evening

@arun
i think spending another few thousand bucks on club membership will be a good option. and yes do get good info on from where you can get those CO2 powerlets in india.

regards
Kuldeep Singh

you can buy as much co2 as you want from chennai itself some gents are importing it. works out to about rs 100 per cart and a small courier fee. so you can avoid going to jail

hello everyone
i too have a similar question " how many airguns can one import or how frequently can one import airguns?" i have yearly membership of Amity Shooting Club and i am a member since 2006. i have participated in 3 state shooting championships, 2 All India Mavlankar shooting campionships and many other shooting competitions at college level. will i be facing any problem if i import another airgun in a month or so?( i recently imported one)

Regards
Kuldeep Singh

There is no rule describing how many or how often you can import. I know friends who imported after a gap of 1 month and they did not face any issues. So play safe and give a gap of minimum 1 month before ordering the second one. If u can keep on doing so for ever is a difficult one to answer.
