Shutzen, just googled for a T&C grinder.I've never seen anything like that.Not many lathe guys around here would have something like that.

Mack The Knife, you can borrow my bench grinder the next time you plan to grind something.

Better still, you grind them for me, else I'll be going through a fair number of bits before I get the hang of it.

Is it one of those small table top mounted devices with two circular stones?

Yes.But I made this one from an old water pump.So it looks a little different.

Thanks, Pran.

Abhijeet, I have a feeling that penpusher's gunsmith may be able to do a very good job. Delhi isn't all that far and you could drop off the gun on a weekend and pick it up the next. And just in case you need an incentive to move butt, Chandigarh lake may offer some good fishing as well.

HI! guyz go to a milling man or a gear hobbing shop and ask them where they get their tools sharpened - problem solved just go to the same dude who they go to and get ur bits ground to any blade size or philips size ;)

For the other query: a tool and cutter grinder is a special small bench grinder type thingy which has an insane number of adjustments so that all tyes of milling cutters and tools can be mounted on it and sharpened to a very accurate degree as all the movements are controlled by a slide mounted on a micrometer thread - so no free hand grinding only jigmounted machnie slide accurate grinding ;)

Hi Mack The Knife,
I get my drill bits sharpened in Mysore once in a while from a person who owns a Lathe and a tool post grinder.
In Banglore also there will be a lot of these guys who do this job and its very inexpensive to get done.

Finally gave the gun for repairs to Shamshuddin Gun House at Asif Ali Road. Got it back day before yesterday and he's done a pretty decent job of it, replacing the worn out parts with a new hinge pin and locking latch. The action and barrels lock together pretty solidly now.

The top lever is a little off to the right hand side though; according to him this will centre itself once a few boxes of ammo are put through the gun.

Total cost of repairs came to INR 3,000/-

Thank y'all for helping me out and guiding me on how best to go about this. :)

Cheers!
Abhijeet
