I'd be extremely wary of buying anything direct out of India without going there to see for yourself.

I know of 2 people who did buy, based on photographs. Let's say that the guns were not as described, one DR cost the guy thousands to fix up and even then it wasn't right.

What they offer you would be the lowest dregs they have that they can ask the highest $$$ for because they know people will think they are getting a bargain.

I've also seen other photos from India of guns for sale, let's say they conveniently make sure certain photos are not taken or parts of the guns are not in the photo so no faults are shown.

Hi Fellows,
I guess I must make myself clear up here. Please read my orignal Post.
I never said I intend to buy any DR gun over in India, my sole purpose is to see whether the Manton & others are still there or what's running in there place. On my last trip I visited the Gun Stores at Delhi just out of curiosity to see what they sell and not for buying/importing 'whole lot of H&H, Rigby & WR DRs at dirt cheap prices'. Thanks.

Understood! But if you find some, tell me.

Take some photos if you can, if you find any interesting gun shops having the charm of bygone days.
