Re: MARK IV FINALLY OUT OF IOF CLOSET
It appears to be something similar to Amby mark IV. They should come up with something like Sumo, Scorpio i.e. .357 Magnum, .327 Federal Magnum etc. rather than fiddling with existing .32hope it isn't like amby mark IV.
Read somewhere that IOF wanted to launch 2 revolvers one in 4" barrel and other in 6" barrel. Now after a long wait for approval from home ministry, only 4 inch barrel revolver has been approved. I do not understand what problem Home Ministry has with 6" barrel? Home Ministry seems to be bent on creating problems, earlier it has disallowed IOF from selling pump action shotguns in civilian market now 6" barrel is the "problem" for them.
At least we can submit feedback at IOF website so that they leave their fixation with .32 and come up with some other calibers of more stopping power like .357 Magnum, .327 Federal Magnum etc.

Re: MARK IV FINALLY OUT OF IOF CLOSET
Sirs,
Good to hear about the news that Mark IV is coming from IOF stable.
Can a customer opt for either Mark III or Mark IV to buy, is the choice available, please let me know.
I am applying for license (a long overdue thing, I have no idea where to apply if I live in Noida).

I'm eagerly waiting for the Mark V, the one with a knotted barrel.

Re: MARK IV FINALLY OUT OF IOF CLOSET
Well i had talk with people in both SAF and FGF people by phone today and asked that if the Mark $ with longer barrel is out for sale and if the existing orders who have not got the delivery can pay more amount and get it . i was told that is is just a rumour and do not expect such thing ( 4" barrel gun ) untill april.
My folks can confirm this from dilaing the telephones numbers of SAF and FGF Kanpur.

Re: MARK IV FINALLY OUT OF IOF CLOSET
mark IV 4 inch barrell and then mark V with 6inch and......and mark VI with two and half.......... and what do they say? was it ''different day same s**t''...........when do I get better product or atleast a barrel that lasts long?????..........then again what am I gonna do with that 25 pops per year??????..........I think for now I be happy with my IOF mark I 2004 model which was unfired till I bought it in Nov. 2010 and spend that extra cash on 150 or 200 a pop every now then to see if I can still hit a beer bottle. Oh and will they be giving us choice of mark III or do we have to pay extra for that ''same s**t, with long barrel'' I mean just in case I make my mind for new one.
