Different calibers with one firearm licence

Greetings knowledgeable fellow members.

It is well known that one can possess two firearms with one firearm license in India, which gets me curious is it possible to own two different calibers of firearms, say rifles chambered in 30-06 and .22 with rifle license?

I'm sure if it's possible, there's no one qualified to have them in possession other than our fellow members. Or at least know the definite answer and can shine some light.

Forgive me if it had been discussed but I can't seem to find the thread, nor google doesn't help much in this particular topic.

Thank you.

Yes. It's pretty common amongst sports rifle and pistol shooters. For example, you can get a Blaser R8 in 30-06 and get a caliber conversion kit for 22lr or 6BR which will include a barrel, bolt assembly and a magazine (if the rifle came with one) for each. Similarly, the sports pistol Pardini SP22 (22lr) and SP32 (32 acp) have interchangeable slide assemblies. Your weapon + the conversion kit(s) will count as one on the license. The same applies to licenses in general as well.

If you are asking if can you have two different rifles on the same license, then the answer is yes.
