Thanks Sniper
Currently the gun is priced around Rs.32,000. If one wants to buy it for self defense and some occasional shooting then its ok. But if one wants for competition shooting then I would not advice for it because the gun is heavy, the trigger pull is heavy and the barrel becomes red hot after 10-12 shots.

Vineet:

Just an FYI, brass cartridges left in contact with leather for an extended period of time can lead to verdigris. (Green colour corrosion) Which in turn might damage the ammo.

Nice guns.. once again.

Yes you are right MOA. The colour of the brass has changed and therefore I have removed them from the leather belt.
Thanks a lot for the information.

I've been hearing of a single trigger Modern with 30" barrels in market lately. Any truth in this, Vineet?
