Post by max1402 » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:56 pm

Where can I get good quality, preferably imported .177 pellets in Bangalore? And what would be the cost?

Max,

Recently picked up a IHP 35 for a friend and went hunting for .177 pellets for him. Found some H&Ns and Walther pellets at Bangalore Armoury. He was quoting Rs 750/- for a tin of 200 H&Ns and Rs 1500/- for a tin of 500 Walther pellets. Don't think it's worth buying them at such prices. Asked my friend to contact GSmith and get down some pellets from them. Generally Asian Armoury and Bangalore Armoury have imported pellets. Buying them or not at such exorbitant prices is your choice.

Not through post or courier. They can be brought back as part of one's luggage though.

Next to CSI hospital on Broadway road (near bamboo bazaar) there is a gun shop you can try there. he has imported pellets but the rates are steep.

Don't think he may have any in stock now. Picked the last box of H&N Diablo he had three days ago.
