I couldn't get the adapters with me since I was traveling by air. I have to get them collected later this week. I thought the airline would have a problem with so many accessories. Will post the pictures of the adapters the coming week.

Ashar,

Do you have any place in or around Hyderabad where you can put this beauty at work??

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

I have managed to grab a few rounds that will last me a while but still working on acquiring a few more.
