Jonah there is such a provision for airguns which fail the deal wood test. ababujay has just done the right thing unlike the slight of hand some resort to.

Still looks like a waste of a hard to get "licence" by useing it for an airgun to me..

As since dominator is a confirmed firearm, this cannot be imported other than elite sports personal. I see a big question mark there.

[hamiclar01]

Whoa........? Which Dominator are we talking about?

The Logun Dominator? the re badged FX Cutlas, AKA FX Superswift (....remember my earlier post, snigger snigger)

The Walther Dominator? basically a FT air rifle

Tirths, why are they confirmed firearms?

I would have agreed with Jonah about space on your license, but now you have done it, conrgats, and enjoy your gun. If it's the FX one, make sure you have extra mags. The spring released return makes it very fast to shoot.

BTW, if this is full powered, I would look for a source of compressed air to fill it regularly. Use the Hills pump only for topping it up occasionally, else you'll spend more time pumping than shooting

hamiclar01,
Walther Dominator, that ABABUJAY has failed the test carried out by the forensic dept. therefore coming under firearm category.

[hamiclar01]

I see. Thanks for clarifying the issue Tirths. It all makes sense now.

Congrats on getting this sorted Ababujay.It must be a relief. Have fun. The Dommie is a great gun and very very accurate. Do post pics.

dea jonah,
dominator is no way inferior for a rim-fire other than the power, but compared to other pcpes dominator is very powerful, i am not a very good shooter but still i cud make 1 inch group at 30 yards with open sights,
the gun is verry smooth, 8 shot repeater, no jamming, cheap ammo etc
so i feel i hve not wasted my license.

dear Ngrewal,
the customs people have a very big list of goods which are exempted fom duty unfortunately my dominator of .22 caliber was not in the list hence 100% duty.

Hi Babu

i am flying into Chennai next week and was planning to bring in a .22 Walther Dominator, from this thread it looks like there will be issues with Customs, Could you please shed some light

thanks

[vmanicks]

Be prepared if you willing to take a chance in Namma Oru Chennai

Hope you have all the docs before landing.

[ABABUJAY]

dEA RANGAN,
The customs people are not techies so as soon as they see ur gun, they will immediately send it to the balastic dept where it will fail the deal wood test , and the rest u know, this is my personal experienc e in chennai.
so plan accordingly.
wishes babu
