Thought I'd point out the fact that your residential address is clearly visible on the photograph of the parcel... you may want to reconsider making that information publicly available on the Internet... there are all sorts of people floating around cyberspace! :P

Cheers!

Hi guys,

After a long wait decided to go ahead and order online from Pyramid Air. Ordered an Air Arms TX 200 HC and was told it would take 5 days but eventually took 11 days. Did not encounter any problems. I sent copies of the notification for import of air guns and my Rifle association membership and it was out of customs in a day. From there by train to Hyderabad and by road to my house. Apparently none of the domestic airlines would carry an airgun un accompanied hence the train...
Finally took a couple of pics. I did not get a scope with it. The scope in the picture belongs to my HW 97k. So I still need to get a scope for it. As for shooting, wonderfull.

cheers

I guess I have been lucky, but after learning a lesson the hard way. Got ripped off with my first 12 bore and made sure it would not happen again.
As for Pyramid Air they charged 220 dollars for shipping. This included the gun, a gun case, 4 tins of pellets and some cleaning material. BTW pellets were not packed properly and most were damaged. My biggest worry was the delhi customs but in the end it was the easiest. three cheers to to those guys at the customs, it isnt too often that they get praise.

cheers
