Indians For Guns

The trouble with only experienced people reloading ammunition is that there's no way for unexperienced people to get experienced!

I started reloading at a friend's house. I bought my dies, bullets, and primers. He had powder for me to use, and showed me how to do it. I then bought my own equipment. I tried to be careful and somewhat conservative, and have had no problems so far.

The reloadign angle has been discussed here and getting components, like primers and powder, makes reloading a difficult proposition. As for bullets, if a mould can be acquired and if lead can be scrounged, bullets are pretty easy to cast, although one must be very careful not to inhale lead fumes.

Timmy so nicely described the situation.
@Vineetji as you are an arms dealer, please explain us what stops dealers from importing powder and primers to India? When the Arms Act 1959 defines ammunition as the cartridge and the components of cartridges, why it cant be imported for Arms License holders?
Why dealers condider Muzzle loaders only eligible for reloading and not the other weapon holders?

Firstly I think rules are not clear.

Secondly, most people have 25 cartridges yearly limit on their license.

New licenses and renewals are giving 200 limit per year, I can ask and get more very easily. Atleast in Bangalore. I intend to use 'em all and more if they reasonably priced.

@Vineetji, If someone has a quota of 100000 and endorsement of gunpowder and primers on license, will you be able to import powder and primers for such persons?

How does it matter if its assembled here or manufactured from ground up?

As long as I legally get a working pistol with Glock reliability, who give a flying rats A$$ where it comes from

I completely agree it does not matter. What bother's me is the whole pretence of Made in India. If it is assembled its assembled! and Frankly initially the assembled will be way better to have than made in india. It takes time to setup an operational plant, get QC in place, etc etc

Just want manufacturers to stop giving out misleading information. There is no reason! As consumers we are more than happy with Assembled in India!!

agree, initially assembled Maruti 800s with japanese engines were better then the ones manufactured here !!

Dear Friends
Please advise the expected date, when cmtpl will update their website & added Glock booking form in it.

Expression of Interest form is there on website. Commercial launch is in March 2021.

As I said earlier, there is a list issued by government and only cartridges mentioned in that list can be imported. Powder and primers are not in that list.

We did not have any manufacturers for the past few decades, this is an epic leap from that age now.
