Indians For Guns

5 shot magazine - this is good news. I have been waiting for it.

Hi MIROFLEX
The supply of 2012 model IOF 30-06 rifle is expected to be supplied to the arms dealers [ who are eligible for purchase during the current year and have deposited the money with the rifle factory] by end of September 2012.
Regards

I don't own this magazine, just saw it in a gun house. It has just began to appear in the market, we will be able to know about it's quality after some time, when it becomes more common.

I think we were going out of the context when we gave an example of "the biggest Indian Gimmick of all " ha ha ha

I own a Thunderbird! yeah the so called new model with all those mechanical flaws just like the old one, lets not give examples of a company whose every bike after 1955 is a failure, i have been to ladakh on it this year and mine is standing in my garage and i am working in Gurgaon....

SO MR! if you talk about guns i will listen to you but when someone talks about Royal enfiled they should start listening to me......Thanks!

Since a Chennai based factory started to manufacture its nothing but overpriced piece of internal combustion engine with a weak chassis and incomplete fuel injection system.......

Bottom-line ---- "Royal enfiled Motorcycles were never made like a gun and they never go like a BULLET" Lets not mix guns with Motorcycles P-E-R-I-O-D

please someone who has modified your rifle:

is it possible to get the barrel of IOF 30-06..turned...? or it will affect the accuracy of rifle?

Hi HKS,

I thought now that September 2012 is over, I would check up whether the 2012 model is with the dealers.

Regards.

I'm working on a disassembly/reassembly tutorial on the IOF. Will post it up here once its done.

Hi Guys,

Any updates on the tutorial?

It would be too good to have a separate section on our forum for tutorials on stripping and reassembling some common rifles.

Dear MIROFLEX
Sorry for being late in my reply. 2012 production 30-06 is available now in Meerut market. You can check up on the number i gave you earlier. According to the Dealer there is no perceptible difference in 2011 and 2012 model.

Any chance you've had a chance to do this? I was planning to strip open my recently purchased IOF soon and before I come running all panicked and lost to you for help I thought I'd make a proactive request! Thanks.

the link for disassembly of the sauer 202 is available online.
Dont touch the bolt.
I did and its a pain to put it back together.

Please explain your pain in detail. we are eager to learn from your experences

AB, I've gone through the online versions. Just wanted to be sure there are no surprises.

A few questions:
1. The trouble aside of putting the bolt back together, did you actually find any rust or gunk inside? Is it sufficient to leave it in diesel/kerosene for a day and spray with WD40 and be done with?
2. Is Hoppe's no. 9 recommended for cleaning the chorme barrels of the IOF? There's much discussion but couldn't find a conclusion. I already got Hoppe's and now wondering if I should be using it.
3. You were mounting a peep sight on your rifle- are you doing in on the 11mm dovetail?
