Oh its a very old shop. The old man (i hope he still lives), must be in his eighties.

His son now looks after it.

I just realised this business' link wasnt in our list so thought i would add it.

The business is not doing as well but he is still continuing the trade.

It must have some good tales to tell of the glory days.
The name itself is nostalgic.
Sadly the whole Arms and ammunition dealers market is suffering in India.

Chacha (the owner) was a friend to our family. A lot of our ammunition guns etc were bought from him. He himself was a shikari but nothing big time. Never heard his stories though.

He still remains our ammo supplier (for the guns in the family).

Please note this is not a promotion but just an entry in the directory.

I may be wrong but Is "Chacha" by any chance a muslim gentlemen?
Some of the most famous "karigars" and gun shop owners, I have met are from the same community.
I have always been fascinated to see how the art runs in the family and is passed on from one generation to the other.

true, no one claimed they do. imported rifles come and go as per demand and supply.

I was merely posting an update and not passing a judgement on the extent of their inventory.
