Hey guys,
I have found this air-rifle on a loft at my uncles place wrapped in a piece of cloth.
It is pretty rusted and I suppose it isn't used or serviced for years. Even my uncle hardly remembers about it. It may belong to my grandpa I suppose but he is no more.
The real fact is that, this AR is a .22 caliber gun with a inscription as "UTA-MOD 95" on it and is far more heavy and big than standard IHP .22 AR.
Its weighs about 7 kgs approx. Its length from barrel tip to butt bottom is 1375 mm where as barrel is about 610 mm long which far more big than the IHP .22 that I m using currently.
Even the power of this gun feel enormous in-spite of its rusted mechanism and worn out seal. The cocking needs pretty strength and I have literally ended up making through holes in my wooden target of 2.5 from 10 mts with triple head master-shot pellets.
Can anyone give me more information on this Air rifle as its completely new to me.

I agree with striker..UTA is Calcutta made AR..Wooden target of 2.5" from 10m, that too from an old rusted desi AR..Hmmm...So much for the Indian deal wood test

True kumarnishit I agree but it did out perform an IHP .22 AR... I m really impresed. However i had left it for a service at local gun shop, lets see.

I want an air gun like that. Are they still produced?

Dear Mayyur,

I hope you told them not to bubba it. I heard a lot of gun shops bubba'ing collectible guns.

[Mayyur]

Might be priyan, even I don't know exactly if they r still produced. Even this piece is pretty more than a decade old.

Dear Mayyur,
Are you sure the rifle weights 15 lbs? It's a bit heavy even for rifles chambered in magnum cartridges, let alone air rifle.
