Hi,
I have a browning.32 acp ,’22. Handed down as family heirloom. The handgun is probably at least 80 years old. It is in a very good condition and fires well. It has no signs of any corrosion / rusting. Only issue I have faced is breakage of the firing pin, twice , which the local gunsmith fabricated and it does the job well only issue Is the quality of the metal used to fabricate the pin but I now have anxiety issues regarding failure to fire.Couldn’t find an original replacement.
Another part is the magazine, which shows signs of wear and tear but does its job . I have contemplated replacing the weapon but the local gunsmith advised against it.

It’s a collectors gun if it’s the 1910 browning. Very few in India. I would recommend keeping the gun and getting the firing pin and the magazine fabricated from some reputable gunsmith, there many in India. You would just need to look hard. Another suggestion is importing the firing pin from the US. It shouldn’t be a problem I think.

Thanks for the reply. Wanted to know what documents would I need to import a magazine and firing pin?
One firm is ready to ship but wants to if I need an import license and if don’t then a self attested document saying I don’t require any certificate, permission.


Thanks
