Re: Weihrauch HW45
Thank you Mack The Knife for an excellent link to the article on Weihrauch HW45. I have had my eyes on this baby for a long time now. Where can I buy it in India and for how much? The price in USA at the moment works out to be approx 14000 rupees.
Regards.

Re: Weihrauch HW45
Rajesh,
It is very doubtful you could get one in India. It would be best if you imported a .177" calibre version from either the U.S., the U.K. or any other country that sells them.
Like you, I have had my eye on this since 1987 and finally got one this January. It sure as hell isn't a 10 metre match pistol but I like it. It has character.

Re: Weihrauch HW45
Why a .177 ? Why not a .22 Weihrauch HW45? Is it the projectile velocity Mack The Knife?
I do congratulate you , the gun must have a great feel. Envy you absolutely.

Because the Government of India only permits the import of .177" calibre air-rifles/pistols via post or courier.Why a .177 ? Why not a .22 Weihrauch HW45?
If you want to import an air-rifle/pistol in any other calibre, you or someone you know will have to import it as part of their personal luggage when returning from overseas.

Re: Weihrauch HW45
It's no trouble, Rajesh.
Mine was brought back by my brother. I wanted a .177" calibre but wanted to buy second hand. Unfortunately, the shop I ordered from only had a decent .22 version in stock, so that is what I got.
This pistol does have the facility to interchange barrels though.
Most of my airgun dealing is done with Blackpool Air Rifles (BAR), the proprietor of which, Lloyd, is a member on IFG.

Re: Weihrauch HW45
Hi Rajesh
I recently bought a hw 45 from Blackpool Air Rifles.In my opinion its a awesome choice though i havent had a lot of experience with air pistols but one look and u will definitely fall in love with it. i had been trying to get it in india thru various channels. Ultimately i gave up and oredered online. But i must say it was pretty easy( unlike wot i had anticipated) i got it in my hand within 6-7 days of despatch.Just for safety purposes i got it thru courrier instead of normal post( and had to pay a bomb for it) but anyways it was worth it.

Re: Weihrauch HW45
Hi Rahul,
Congratulations for your HW 45 and thanks for your response. Can you tell me how much did you pay for the gun/courier/excise duty. I presume its a .177 cal. Also are you a member of any state/national rifle association/forums/clubs?
Happy shooting buddy,
