Modacity shooters' thread

I'm pretty sure it's more expensive here for all the fun stuff (Black/Green/Red Firearms). Ammo still isn't that hard to source though, I think I'm going to sell all my airsoft stuff and get that Robinson Arms XCR-M. Not sure yet though.

Good news though! The Canadian Non-Restricted Firearms (see: long-guns used for hunting) registry has been removed and all the documentation and records will be destroyed. Meaning all you need now is a PAL license and money to go get a gun, no registration and no giving over all your life background to the government just to get a hunting gun.

Keep in mind that new production anything that isn't .22LR will run you at or over a dollar a round, too. And our dollar is owning the shit out of yours while shitting on its face, so that's more like $275-280 US.

Everything gun-related here is retardedly expensive. It's more to do with our awful laws than anything; they are in short enough supply and hard enough to import that you basically have to pay the fuckers way more than what something is actually worth. It's shit.

I can boxes of 30-06 for 16.99 at Dick's sporting goods. Don't make me laugh lol. The gun industry here is bigger than it's ever been, and prices are falling very quickly back to where it was in the early 2000s.

There's no reason it couldn't be the same here. Shipping costs sweet fuck all in bulk, our own industry ammo-wise is very good (ADI do all our military stuff as well as commercial powders, and they are pretty highly regarded and sell powders under another brand in the US), we just get gouged because there is literally nothing else we can do. Everything in this country costs more than it should, but things that are impossible to source from overseas sellers or via the internet? Ohhh boy.

Man I would never pay over $150 for 400 rounds of 7.62x54. Non-corrosive FMJ surplus you can usually find in the states for like $80

[rossmum]

no such thing as non-corrosive surplus

[PenGuin1362]

If that's the case then people have been lying. It's usually not Russian though.

I could have gotten 440 for $63 (not including shipping) not to long ago, I shoulda ordered 2 cans to have 880 but I didn't and lost the chance, they went by fast. Could have had 880 for roughly $136 with shipping included. Dammit.

But I'll see what the GR gun show has next week, hoping to find a RU SKS thats all matching with a non-blued bolt and bayo for a good price, but that's wishful thinking. If not I'll see what Mosin Nagants are there.


E: Also all milsurp ammunition for the 7.62x54r from any country has been corrosive, either it be Hungarian, Czech, E. Germany, Romanian, Russian, Chinese and so on has been corrosive. Only non-corrosive ammunition is the commercial ammo but then again it isn't milsurp but it's the only ones that aren't corrosive.

$ 150 without shipping. Not $136 but not that much more either.

Also?

Russian SKS

[Spartan094]

I'm sure if I did try to get it and win, the cost from both shipping and transfer to my FFL would bring it up at or over the 500 point mark and I would rather get something else. Besides last gun show I went too had a $395 RU SKS and he went down no further then $350, I didn't buy it because I was far to picky and the thing was non-matching, re-arsenal Tula 1952 all blued no white.

So I'm going to wait for the gun show, I'm sure something will turn up since a lot of people refereed me to it since it's supposedly huge.

[PenGuin1362]

Usually if you're patient most gun stores cycle through a few Russian SKS's. They tend to go quick but both gun stores I go to have each had a few in the past few months. Some were matching original, some were re-arsenal.
