Several importers are bringing in muzzleloaders from India and generally they are not held in high regard. I have a single barrel 12 gauge from India and had to do quite a bit of work to make it usable, not just the lock and trigger issues, which I expected, but even the barrel was bored screwy. The bore was about .015" tighter in the middle of the length than at either end. I was able to bore and hone it out to a uniform diameter and polish it smooth and with a jug choke added it is now a clay target duster but I must say it took a lot of work that not just anybody is set up to do. There are good reasons why the guns from India cost about half as much as those from Italy but if you have the time and ability to work out the shortcomings and you just can't afford a better built gun then the Indian guns are an option.
