500 Grains,

All of the Calcutta gunmakers consolidated into one company some years ago. Ashootosh and Co, O C Daw, G M Biswas, Manton and Rodda. They sell old imported guns and some Indian Ordnance Factory rifles these days. I do not know of anyone manufacturing shotguns in Calcutta though there are companies that manufacture shotguns in several other states in India.

I am planning to write to the Indian Arms Manufacturers' Asssociation Secretary to find out - just out of curiosity, but it would be nice to know. If indeed good shotguns are being made in Calcutta, it would be a huge boon for Indian shooters!

Best wishes,
