In 1984 the Central government of India put all calibres larger than 8mm on the prohibited bore list but the Indian SUpreme COurt threw those restrictions out about five years ago. Military calibres remain banned, though, and you do not see rifles in these calibres available even to military officers who would be entitled to own them because the import of firearms has been banned since 1984 as well except for target shooters and for Indians who work outside the country for at least 1 year.

So is this the reason for the flood of double rifles from India into Australia about 20 years ago?

This is a great thread about a subject I almost dismissed as cut and dried.
