Transfer OF Residence

Thanks RP and Naga for your valuable input!!! My primary reason for choosing this revolver is that its a workhorse designed for .357 Magnum and in .327, it can chamber IOF .32 revolver rounds too!

Since I can't buy .32 rounds on my .327 revolver license, is it possible to get my license endorsed for locally available .32 IOF rounds too?

Ruger SP101 in .327 can chamber .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, .32 H&R Magnum and .327 Federal Magnum cartridges.

Best,
Ram

should have no problems asking for .32.

all the best and let us know how you get on.

Thanks Naga, that's a relief! I'll keep you guys posted about my TR experience.

Will the .32 endorsement be in addition to .327, as I plan to bring in a box of fifty .327 cartridges with me on TR and on my subsequent trips abroad. I'll be using the .32's mainly for practice at the local range.

PAying demurrage charges is fine as long as the customs will keep the firearm

Thanks

Following link contains procedure to export firearms and ammunition from the US for nonimmigrant aliens: http://www.atf.gov/pub/fire-explo_pub/p5300_18.pdf

According to ATF, nonimmigrants must use a FFL registered with the Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls to export firearms and ammunition. The FFL must obtain an export license before exporting, which might take 4-8 weeks (sometimes longer). They recommend that you provide the FFL with a letter from your embassy on embassy letterhead explaining why you want to export the firearm. You also should provide an import authorization issued by the competent Government office in your country.

You can instruct the FFL to ship it by priority mail with insurance. Instruct him to ship the package ONLY AFTER you tell him, so that you are in India to collect it. The procedure hasn't changed much from what Anand described here: http://www.indiansforguns.com/viewtopic ... 219#p58219 .
