Munger's illicit industry

[BowMan]

Opened the Sunday papers and found this extensive article...

And this. Looks like a copy of a Browning Hi Po (or is it actually a real smuggled one?)

This link has some more pictures and most of the products seem to of the usual crude variety but for one which is a Hi-Po knock off. Perhaps some polish and bluing on that one and it could be passed off as the real thing...

It is interesting to note these the cache was destined towards Meerut, one of the biggest arms markets in India.

I am sure the pistol shown is for reference only. And if at all its made in Munger, then no doubt I am mighty impressed and would urge our Gov't to give these guys the total contract for our Armed forces in the desired calibers.

Instead of hounding and torturing them under the draconian provisions of Arms Act 1959, the Government should take a sensible approach and legalize these arms manufacturers. At least the law abiding citizens will get better products than those made by the IOF.

HI i think is not the guns from Munger...

[StampMaster]

Those guns in the pics seems like they are very well made... cant ignore the knowledge transfer from ordinace factories. Retired employees can make a handsome buck with their skills.

There is another such illicit gun market in Darra, Pakistan. They manufacture sophisticated weapons- AK47, AK56, pistols etc of every make and model.

We have our own Sherlock Holmes.
Good find!

Thanks Saptrashi for confirming what I was initially suspicious about.

However I missed out on posting one of the links. Please take a good look at the pistol with white grip (pic 2 and 3)...

Agree. May I also point out the plight of Sikligars tribes, erstwhile blade and gun makers since centuries whose skills are now being systematically purged. When will we learn from countries like Japan, Spain and Germany where their ancient crafts and craftsmen are given the status of national heritage.
