Sirs,

What unit are you with? Check with your CO to see if they will allow Indian guns. For more info visit www.cwreenactor.com/forum for more information, but many units are banning Indian made guns as unsafe to use, even for blank fire. If yours is more of a mainstreamer unit they may allow it, and they may have your proof it to ensure it is safe. Most campaigner units would advise you not to get it. This isn't against MVT (even though Pete might think that since I'm less than satisfied with my 1816) MVT and Loyalist Arms as well. I don't know if either Enfield is fine. They probably are, but it seems based on a recent discussion of India guns many units in the CW hobby are moving to ban them. That goes for Loyalist Arms' line of 1840s, Lorenzes, 1842s, Enfields, etc.
