Exporting arms?

Post by ArcherSix » Wed Jan 20, 2010 2:12 am

I 've read on this board of the problems associated with importing arms into India. My question is has anyone attempted to export a rifle out of your country?

I would expect a ton of red tape.

Hello,
There is a facility and the Legal system allows it, but most of the temporary export of firearms would be by our National Shooting Team/ Renowned Shooters and they have "privileges" to make this process smooth and easier.
For us lesser mortals the paperwork involved would be nothing short of gigantic and the time taken would probably be ..... :roll:
Regards,
Anand

Theoretically, firearms for which ammunition is not indigenously manufactured can be exported.However, the bureaucratic hoops are long,wide and complicated.However, certain resourceful people find it relatively easy to accomplish.That is how a lot of English,European and American guns found their way out of the country.
