I had visited RFI yesterday for tuning of my new .3006 Rifle. Some of the things I noted was
1.) Excellent security checking but had to wait for an hour at the Reception till the Junior Works Manager completed the entry formalities.
2.) The technicians and mechanics were very happy with their construction of the .3006 (According to them is it their least faulty Civilian Rifle). An old staff said many complaints comes for the .315 and .22 but few for the .3006 Rifle.
3.) Good demand is their for Pump Acton Shotgun from dealers.
4.) They atleast try to address the problem in the weapons for civilians.
I am sorry I could not click pictures as mobiles are strictly not allowed inside. Would gladly like to visit RFI again.

It feels very strange to read that how happy they are to flaunt the
least faulty Civilian Rifle status so proudly

The demand for pump action now is not that high as it was in 2016 (when it was launched). Firstly because the factory has increased its price by Rs. 25,000 since its launch in 2016 and secondly because there is booking time at the factory where as dealers are able to procure pump actions made by private companies without any booking.

In some standards 'least faulty machine' is the best machine available in a given price range.

I agree I misused the statement "least faulty machine." My apologies. I actually wanted to convey the engineers/mechanics were proud of the IOF 3006. And yes Vikram given that hunting is banned in India this is the best weapon at this price point. I do not see the need to pay 5 lacs and above to pay for a 30-40 year old rifle.

Looks like old clone Fabarm 80-beginner 90! In some country have name - Imperator, Germanica, Tikka and other bullshit name
In basic short 850 mm shotgun 12/76 caliber with 7 shot magazine! Price in Russia 300-400 USD
Very bad quality, maximum barrel resource 1000 shot!

Hello Friends ,
I had too bought an PAG of 'Bhati And Co.' which is in Jodhpur , I guess , a year earlier.
Till now the gun is cool and working great.
It got jammed a week earlier and I had no access to any gunsmith these days ,lockdown issue
So I watch on Youtube that how to completely disassemble and then reassemble the Mossberg 500 ,because my PAG is based on Mossberg 500.
And I do the same as it was shown step by step which ultimately fix my jamming issue
I too clean all the gun's internal parts neatly and lubricate them as well. Now it works more comfortably

The fact is that every situation has it's own pros and cons. It is upon us how we judge that particular situation
And , secondly , IMO a PAG must not be ,according to Indian standards and situations , upgraded or modified to 7+1 or 8+1 magazine tube.
Because it makes the gun more heavier and seriously effects the mobility and feasibility when we had to use it especially near or around our home , etc.
