Hi Guys
What I would like to know is that if the govt allows you to take a weapon outside the country for repair/reconditioning and reimport it back?
If so, what kind of permits do you require and who issues the permits?
Im sure it would be a hassle.Are there any good gunsmiths who can recondition a weapon for example, reblueing and reconditioning the stock without changing it?
Cheers
Ashar

Re: Reconditioning of guns
Ashar,
Cant comment on the first part whether exports for repairs,refurbishing etc are allowed.
The best person to advise on this would be penpusher,suggest send him a PM.
WRT permissions for repairs abroad,if at all allowed it would include the DGFT and Min of Home Affairs in Delhi in conjunction with the local Licencing & EXIM authorities in your case Hyd.
WRT repairs in Delhi there is Shamshudin Gun House,have seen them refurbish a 12 G H & H,a while ago but never did see the end result.
He is currently restoring a gun for a Hyd collector,where the cost for the furniture alone is close to a Lakh.
There is a bloke in D'Doon,whose work can be seen under the Fine Guns Section,the post was by Danish,under the head "Guns belonging to Shahid" he restored a Win 270.Personally I quite liked what I saw in the pictures.
You can ask Danish for the contact should you like the work.
Am sure other IFG members can come up with a few names in their neighbourhood.
HTH
