Thanks a lot Cottage Cheese, for the detailed instructions, will try on coming sunday.

Sahil you say - i bought one last month, its 2008 model at 138k - how did the seller manage to get a sale permission ( as far as i know Ashani comes with a 5 yr no sale/transfer clause)

Regards
Parag

Here is my report on the IOF Pistol as an absolute newcomer and raw-hand in handling any sort of firearms:

1. When I bought it resembled a crude Desi Katta with its chrome polish- as a lot of pals told me
2. Later I found one national Award Winner Gunsmith Afak Khan in Merrut who has polished it black and changed the grips to wooden ones and the cost is:
(a). Black Polishing: Rs. 1500/- one year guarantee
(b). Wooden grips - Rs. 1500/-
3. A lot of other modifications like putting an additional slide as many of you have been talking up in this forum's various threads would cost me around Rs. 20,000/- more
4. Since last 2 years that I own this pistol I have only fired around 40 rounds but always 10 or 5 at one go because the U.P. License ammo quota is 10/25 per year I have only started making friends with the gun house that they allow me some extra ammo nowadays But there is no ammo available for the .32 since last 3-4 months so no shooting at all.
5. The good news is that last week my All India License got approved and I will go to the Karni Singh Ranges soon. Any information, tips and help is needed and appreciated in advance.
6. I fully agree with Abhijeet here" you can always load it with imported ammo for self defence carry and use the Indian made ammo only for practice." I am absolutely following this.
7. Overall my experience so far is that it is a small, easy to conceal carry, wos- weapon of surprise.
8. To give you a firing review I need some more time and tips from the veterns here.

Here are few photos for your review and comments.

Cheers!

Paddy

HI Paddy,

for information sake! Afak Khan says, he is no "National Award winner", did he do the classical blueing Job or some Black polish/coating?

Amit

Hey Guys.. nice to b back in touch.. I have two good news to give.. first - I called up GSF, Cossipore and they actually picked up the phone & answered my call..

Second - some good news for the prospective buyers of Ashani... the price has been reduced a little bit.. It is now 67,477 (with additional magazine) instead of 69,998/- & believe me.. they'll be refunding the excess amount to those who have paid full advance.. I'm expecting my Pistol by March'09 end.. btw.. they have not started 'bluing' yet & do not plan to do so in near future..

no its not that simple,
But if you have the right contacts and know how to use them it becomes simple.
My application was submitted on dec 2nd and no action was taken till jan 25th. Then I pulled some strings and abra-ka-dabra , got the order from lucknow on 4th feb, I was out of city so I got my license stamped on 10th
