I'm bit confused, what do you mean by hell. Is it tough in there.

Hell = checkpoint at international borders if you are caught with anything that looks like a gun

Not to brag about myself, but i lived in Upper Assam for 6 1/2 years along with teams of CRPF,CISF, Army and State police. they are very good at sniffing out the anomaly. Again, there is 90% chance of getting trapped. I have personally experienced Nepal and Bhutan checkpost from a very close distance. don't go by fakebook.

Even for a airsoft & .177 air rifle?
I feel like they are better than indian custom in differentiating between firearm, air gun & toy.

Any one bought shooting chrono from online sites? Kindly share the experience?
Will custom Detain it or charge the certain duty?

I imported a Hill pump MK04. Customs ripped me 42% as charge. Rs 8400 paid as custom duty. I request you to check with onlinesites before importing as individual.

Thats good for MKIV.
I think in india they cost round 17.5k - 28k for MKIV.
[emoji106] Import whatever you can guys, Indian market is a hell for lower class enthusiasts.
I'm also thinking about buying a shooting chronograph but bit confused about it.
1. Shooting Chronograph GZ35-0005
http://s.aliexpress.com/2IzAfqme?fromSns=Copy to Clipboard
This one may work with air rifles but it would be exhausting to reassemble every time you use it.
2. SINAIRSOFT Xcortech X3500 Airsoft Shooting Chronograph
This one is for airsoft (dunno if it works with air rifle or if it won't than why, it supports 90ft/s~1200ft/s, is it because of the pellet or because of the sound or air that pop out of muzzle.) cheaper, no assembly and later model than X3200 & X3300, but its too tiny ***attached the user image.

Hello guys. What's the latest scenario in import of air rifles? I guess there's no intl seller willing to ship to India, so we're pretty much at a dead end?

Hi,

I purchased chronograph and PCP hand pump from china. No custom fees for chrono but paid around Rs.600 for Hand pump.Both are working great.

Hello, anyone could share trusted International sites from where we can order airguns? I can deal with customs.

Hi , try
https://www.krale.shop/en/catalogsearch ... alther+lgv

This is holand shop and will ship to India ..

One and only one condition is you need to be a rifle shooting club member and have valid ID card ... And supporting documents to prove ur a sports shooter ... Certificates etc

Thays my mumbai experience ...

If you can handle customs go for it but if you don't be have rifle club membership don't even think of attepmting it ...

Cheers

Thanks! I have district club membership. I hope that works, and accepted by customs.

[dalvipravin]

Ideally it will do. Keep a copy of import policy document and attach it too when you apply for clearance along with your ID proof .

Best luck

Hi,

After going through this thread, I've realised that the experience of importing guns to India depends on the customs officer; despite there being a clear policy that allows import of .177 cal and less than 20 joules. I'm really keen on getting a Umarex Glock 17 Gen 3 bb gun but I don't wish to pay 45k for it in India. My brother-in-law is a Canadian citizen. If I ask him to get one for me and declare it as his personal luggage to the customs in Delhi, then will he have to pay duty on it? Thanks!

Further, if there's anyone coming from US/Can/Eu and willing to help me import an airgun, then please let me know.
