I feel so too but bear in mind what they say about still waters. Assuming we still have our guns when he comes of age....Sujay wrote:The legacy will be passed on to the younger one , I guess

Sorry for the low note but I can't help think about it. Perhaps they can live elsewhere if the govermnent does not think they are responsible and trustworthy enough.
The elder son, Shubaair, was given far too large a dose of Disney and he came away with the idea that guns were bad. I have been gradually weening him off this ridiculous notion.
The younger blighter, Shane, is being fed a very different diet.

Jonah,
It's a TOZ 35 Free Pistol - .22lr with a Morini grip.
A first airgun for a child is an important decision to make. May be difficult to find one that isn't too heavy. It should also have a reasonably light trigger that a young child can operate correctly.
None of the current crop of Indian airguns, rifle or pistol, fit the bill. Perhaps you could ask your sister to bring a HW25 for your son. However, he may need to grow a bit older (another two to three years) before it fits him well.
I for one am still looking for one for my elder son. Pity we cannot start them off with rimfires like they do in the U.S.. A Chipmunk would be just the ticket for them.

Photobucket does not seem to give too many resizing options.sat wrote:nice pic rusty.... the first photograph could have been a little smaller in size.
Know of any other way?
Do not like the second pic - got the Sun position wrong. Just getting these two fidgety farts to stand still is a task in itself.
They have grown since you last saw them, eh?

Good Luck and God Bless the two

Well spotted, Vikram. I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on that. In all fairness, I don't think Shane could even reach the trigger.Vikram wrote:I don't know if any of you noticed it.Both the lads have their trigger finger out.Most important thing when not ready to shoot.
Incase anyone is wondering, the breech is also open and the pistol unloaded. Just for the record...
They already know the basic do's and don'ts of gun safety but I still wouldn't trust them with a loaded gun unless I am right by their side.
Believe it or not, whilst they were playing on the range lawn, about 40 metres behind the 25 metre pistol range, I was later told that a twit was turning around waving a fully loaded semi-auto pistol. If I ever catch him doing that again....
