Photo essay of one of the only two left by the Indian Goverment.

Looks like they do nice work, hand producing English Doubles.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

A side by side with handgrips fore and aft.  eh.  I'm guessing it's what passes locally for a home defense gun?

I wonder who they are making them for. India doesn't exactly have a large gun market, their laws are godawful, largely inherited form the colonial times.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Amazing, the work that comes out of a place that looks like remnants of 1945 Dresden.

Or a way to steady the firearm when trying to shoot dangerous game.

Wood looked like it might be decent after finishing, but I have to wonder about the quality of the steel and the heat treating . . .

The state-owned Indian factories make some of the most awful guns in the world for horrific prices... they managed to screw up the Indian army's ak clone!

If these are privately owned, they may be much better.

Indian ammo isn't much better - it was mostly Indian milsurp ammo that led to the adage on many gun boards that "you shouldn't shoot ammo that comes from a country where you wouldn't drink the water."

Ummm ... in fact, I do have Adblock.

What did I miss? (Or do I not even want to know?)

There used to be other paths to that video, but the link I had from a long time ago didn't work, so I had to search out another one. I didn't get any alerts from my anti-virus, so I (foolishly, it seems) ass-u-med it was safe.

Ads for pornz and nekkid people, which is pretty much the norm for most .ru aggregator blog-ish sites it would seem, however the "Nudist lifestyle" ones where it's an excuse to look at the kids and teens were extra-creepy...

Yep.

I can't edit my post. Could a moderator insert a NSFW caution for me?

Apologies to all.
