We already have enough - fire them in Indian Ocean
Sir ji, there is definitely difference between alloys used in gears and barrels of guns. Barrels have to withstand and dissipate the heat quickly in addition of less wear and tear required by gears.

This is actual BS from the Indian media. The M777s WILL BE ordered by India THIS FISCAL.
Retards........
Retards........
The point is that the line is closing, so it will cost a lot more than the previously quoted price.

Since the time electronic and print media has been liberalized there has been less moral responsibility on part of Media and more of sensationalism

No it won't. The price has been fixed. As this is a FMS deal such things are set in stone.
Such things are set in stone only till contract expiry. The price is not set for perpetuity, waiting for the customer to order. The news is very much true:
With no Indian orders, BAE Systems starts shutdown of M777 gun factory | Business Standard
Delays push up cost of M777 howitzers for India - IHS Jane's 360
Your epithet of "retards" is applicable to the MoD and army officers in charge of procurement, not the media. Don't shoot the messenger.

Nonsense. How is this any different from the Barrels of Arjun Tank that India produces.
There are at least two players in India who has the technology to manufacturer such barrels. Bharat Forge and Midhani.
I am sure there are more or can get partners who will come into India like Mittal steel if required.
There is hell of difference between tank's barrel and artillery gun's barrel.
Do you know the difference between tank's range and artillery's range.
One more thing tanks carry limited number of ammos but artillery have to go on and on for longer durations.
Rate of fire is also major difference.
