Dear, This is not philosophical debate whether one should own or not . This is name of gun you own and about their maintenance !

 

[Virendra]

Ok, then it deserves a seperate thread. The other one is anyway cumbersome with the gun politics.
Personal stuff and GunSmithing etc at this thread might just be much better :thumb:

Ohh man ! you are not still happy with these , Indian government gives toys( even 9mm is prohibited calibre for Indians) to indian public because automatic guns can increase militancy , As they think it .

I am not happy that I can't own the same firearms I trained with. I had to customise my M95 to take a clip but it still has to be bolt action. I can own a shotgun but no weapons can be automatic or military grade.. I REALLY want a Glock 18 full auto.

It has nothing to do with militancy. Arms Act still smells of the colonial bias and master slave relationship.
Prohibited calibres are all those that the British armies in India would use. They were prohibited so that even if the rebel snatches or manages a competitive gun he wouldn't have the ammo to use it. Current classification and the mentality behind it is more or less the same.

Bachchu Ji, this is becoming another Gun rights thread

(i) "prohibited arms" means---

(i) firearms so designed or adapted that, if pressure is applied to the trigger, missiles continue to be discharged until pressure is removed from the trigger or the magazine containing the missiles is empty, or

(ii) weapons of any description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other such thing,

and includes artillery, anti-aircraft and anti-tank firearms and such other arms as the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify to be prohibited arms;

It only looks like full auto, flame throwers and AT guns are prohibited. Is the 12.7mm considered an AT calibre?

 

[Koovie]

look at our police forces and u will have a good reason why to forbid automatic weapons

0.315 rifle

IOF has launched news rifle of 30-06 calibre. Do anybody own that? how is performance?

I'm thinking to sell .315 rifle and buying 30-06 one . even 30-06(first one) looks better then 315 rifle(later).

I was goggling for a while, When i noticed a strange Rifle, latter found out its a OFB .315 make over by an Local Indian company..

------------------

.315 OFB Rifle..

After makeover

Seems popular in civillians

Details

--------------------------
--------------------------


To me its looks nice, But i personally dont think its comfortable:

1. To shoot specially a .315 with a butt like that, Is uncomfortable and dangerious as .315 is a big round with big recoil..

2. The Grip is made of steel, It can cause injury..

3. Overall weight must have increased due to more steel and aluminum parts..

4. Not sure if those are real P-rail or just the design..

So is .315" Indian equivalent to .303 British or 8x57mm?

So, Jinx Magazine has an article about Phoolan Devi that mentions her weapon as a .315" Mauser. Now, being curious about such things, I sort of assumed that .315" must be the Indian designation for 8x57mm. A couple of minutes on google churned up some fascinating links with information on civilian firearms in India, and interestingly, showed what appeared to be a new manufacture, sporterized No.1 SMLE in the .315" caliber. Now at first glance, the picture seems to show a regular looking SMLE magazine for .303 tapered cartidges as opposed the squared profile type on .308 (7.62x51mm) SMLE's. But then, reading the text, it clearly indicates that the magazine capacity is only 5 rounds.

Since I happen to have a .303 No.4 rifle magazine to play with, I checked and it appears that it would be possible to feed 5 rounds of 8x57mm from one. I've dug up a couple of references to conversions to 8x57mm, so it certainly is possible that the Indan .315" SMLE is actually chambered in 8x57mm.

Additionally, I know that it is possible to feed tapered rounds in a modified 98 Mauser action, like the Siamese 8x52Rmm which have been rechambered in everything from 45-70 to 7.62x54Rmm so it isn't beyond reason that there would be .303 chambered mausers floating around in India.

So...does anyone have any ideas?

I am getting more sure that this is P-RAIL..
