It surely can't cost all that much to visit Illinois from Pennsylvania and to get a local dealer to do an FFL transfer to wherever you want in the country. DO come and check this plkace out.

BTW I do have more than a little experience with Ischapore SMLEs and also their equally crappy FALs - high school students in the National Cadet Corps in India get to learn to shoot on them.

I am happy to have standards of quality that are different from yours - you are welcome to your views and to praise the Ischapore stuff to the skies if you wish to. The fact is that you won't find a majority of Indians themselves agreeing with you.
