Dear Brihaji,

Our country just needs a very few minds like you to change the present sorry state of the firearm's that are being developed by govt for our security forces and the civilians.Sir it gives great confidence and joy when one sees such developments are made even when Air rifles are of concern,any air rifle enthusiast who wishes to own something that shoots accurate and decent groups has to either import it or pay thrice the amount it cost's as we all know.I really have no word's to express my gratitude sir.tussi great ho sirji.. :cheers:

Regard's
Dhiraj.

amazing work.
how much expenses were incurred on your project.
and if you were to make more of these how much would be the cost per unit.

Basu wrote:Dear Briha, It looks simply amazing.this is likely to out beat many international brands.while going through the specifications and performance,it come under magnum power category.To my mind ,so far no indian gun ever produced such awesome velocity.A trigger with 1.75 lbs ,devided in two stages , is just fantastic.I just try to imagine, in comparision with my National 25,which has a trigger pull of 1000 gms and i am more than happy with that.Thank you so much for sharing such am outstandimg AR with us. I wish i was in Mumbai.

Hi Doc,

sorry Briha....

great work....congrats.

like the choice of sights...the Diana 35 iron sights are great. great accuray. 44' makes it a comfortable length as is the cocking weight of 34 lbs. would love to know more on the 'revolutionary design' of the piston.like the stock design too and if it has the same finish as your other rifle...i am very. very jealous. did i miss the rifle weight???
fety
1.75lbs trigger pull makes it an excellent two stage trigger unit. and an automatic safety....

that is one powerful and accurate rifle you have my friend......almost hole in hole groups at 25yrds! and 720 fps with 14.3grn pellets works out to 16.46 ft lbs (22.32 j). WOW !!!!

brilliant......
Throw me to the wolves....I will return leading the pack.
