Hey Guys,

Caliber - 0.177" & a Beeman P17 with Red Dot Sight , Caliber - 0.177" + Crosman Pistol Holster, Accessory Pocket, Quick-Release Buckle, 7"x4.5" + Plano Pillared Pistol Case - Double + Beretta PX4 Storm .177 magazine + Crosman Pellgunoil from Pyramyd Air on 13th and got them cleared by customs Delhi on the 16th. ..they are on the way to COK!

this is my 2rd time ordering from Pyramyd very nice dealings !will be ordering again in March as am planning to sell my AA Proj and get a Feinwerkbau or a WALTHER !

This time I ordered for my Uncle in his name, he wanted the Beretta and the P17 for me!

Thats good news more shooting on its way.

I have shot with a Beeman P17 and its a very light weight and compact pistol.

However how you planning to find 88Gm Co2 for the Beretta repeater.

Also did you order these 2 items at 1 go??

Btw how is your AA Match Pistol?

[shiv]

Hey vmanicks,

The Beretta is fr my Uncle, Co2 he is getting it from his cousin for Rs.173 + courier.. I think its 12gm.

Yea I did order both guns 2gether in my Uncles Name..he was a former EDRA sec n also member of RSC..so kept both letters...thought if any prob will send my Club memb details as well.. but it got customs cleared only 2 be detained by the Airport police


AA Match Pistol shoots gr8 once its fine tuned!...its an amazing pistol you can adjust almost anything on it but the grip is a bit big...tried 2 order another grip but costs 99 US..can shoot around 40 to 50 per fill..got two 4 Kg SCUBA tanks from a friend for 1000 each and gets them filled from another friend who owns a diving training institute for 150...

[shiv]

Andy I have not got the pistols yet...story is still continuing !!

Delhi Police has detained the pistols, when Fedex tried to send them by Air...and Fedex tells me they have now filed a case!


The AA Match pistol I wrote about is what I am using now!

can i import a softair full metal gun from us "the .20 gm bb ones not the pellet ones". i mean my parents live there. so can i tell them to get it for me. will there be any problems in importing with there luggage. i asked the same question to the evike guys but they told me that "Unfortunately we do not know the rules and regulations of importing airsoft guns to your country. It is the customer's responsiblity to find out the rules and regulations then you can place your order. As for the green gas you will have to find a local airsoft shop because we cannot ship green gas legally." .... i don't care about the gas thing. i just want the full metal versions of beretta, savaging bull and desert eagle. i'm a kind of toy collector but unfortunately i can't find these guns in delhi. i read the earlier posts and it says it's gonna cost me somewhere around 10-15k each. which is like paying approx. double for each gun. please help me out with this.

I'm new here. i was was wondering if anyone could tell me if i require a gun/rifle assoc membership if i want to import an air soft gun ( by courier)?

I'm particularly interested in lever - repeaters like the red ryder or the marlin.

I'm sorry if this question has been raised before. I went through the forum and didn't find answers to this specifically. Also any suggestion on guns would also be very much appreciated.

[tonysilas]

luke,
You need to have a membership in any rifle club to import an air rifle or airsoft pistol . The import is limited to .177 calibre only !

Upon receiving the package.I found it was totally opened by Delhi customs,But everything was in order as it was mentioned.

By "delivered to me", do you mean at your doorstep? or did you go to the airport to pick it up?

[will_achiever]

Luke,

Yes, it was delivered to my door by FedEx.

Hi Jignesh!
This is Ashwin. Just joined the forum today. I would like to import a .177 Cal Air Pistol. I saw the Crossman 6". Its nice. Can you please help me with the procedure. I do not have anyone living in the U.S. who'd be coming to India in the near future. I currently have a Blanca which is one of the saddest pistols ever made. It looks nice. But it works sick. I had a Luger model single shot Air Pistol Made in India. It did a fab job. I like continuous firing. Hence a revolver as I've been fascinated by them. I would be grateful if you could help me with the procedure and the documents required for the import. Also do I need to be a member of a Rifle Association? If yes, how do I obtain one?
