Then hopefully you guys can drool all over them.

I'm confused about a number of things. I thought you couldn't own semiauto rifles like this, I guess I was wrong? Also, why could you own it but not shoot it?

I will try to find a photo of me ridding a unicorn, holding a M1 carbine bought from one of these govt. auction houses.

IFAIK
  • * You can own Semi-Auto Rifles / Hanguns
    * The Fully Auto feature on the M1 has to be disabled permanently for civilian use
    * The .30 Round is a prohibited bore (PB) as it was/is in use by the armed forces (hence the popular 9mm Luger is also PB)
    * A civilian needs to have a PB licence to own a PB weapon
    * There is a paucity of the .30 round (I don't know if it is manufactured in India)
    * There are not many places where one can go and shoot safely and legally (bush/forest/wild) except at a designated range
    * The laws are very vague / non-existent on accepted areas for legal discharge of a firearm

The M1 Carbine is semi-automatic; the selective fire version is the Carbine M2. I believe it is the semi-automatic function that is disabled before it can be owned by civilians under Indian law.

All the best and happy shooting. But please remember you can't shoot it just about anywhere. You will have to shoot it only at the shooting range. ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL

Some people have all the luck.

1. Finding such a beautiful gun. I think it will get registered as a rifle.
2. Space available 15 kms away where the projectile can land safely.

good one but do not know the price etc as its an auction, why not ask kanglasa since he goes to government auctions he may be able to give some insight.

ckkalyan -

That was VERY helpful, thanks! The PB thing is a huge pain but at least Indians can hypothetically own just about any firearm if they can find a way to get their hands on one.
