    When was the last time you guys encountered a Chinese milsurp SKS still in the cosmoline?

    I just traded a CVA black powder revolver for this one at the LGS. The market is so flooded with russian and chinese SKS that they cant sell them. Price tag on this one was $249 Canadian, which translates to $197 US dollars..

    Wow nice, haven't seen a chi com like that in a long time. I remember racks of them, I think they were beaters, for $65 back in the mid 90s. I'd jump at the chance for one like yours at that price

    Well YOU'RE IN CANADA.

    You can get Russian and Chinese SKS rifles there. We can't any more in the USA. Import bans you see? It's nice to see that Canadians are so awash in SKSs that they can't give them away. Perhaps you can bring a truckload over the border some day ? wink wink (just kidding)>

    AKs are not banned, everybody has a Valmet Hunter that was then converted to to AK configs.
    There were many kit builds that were simply marked Valmet with a serial number within a specific range.
    Just like here in the US there are ways to bend CA laws too.
    I used to have friends in NB. I learned a lot about what can and cam't be had there.

    Thats right. the liberal government of the time banned the ak47 by name. The Type 81 wasn't mentioned and the VZ58 rifles and other similar looking ones flew under the radar. Because when they made the laws they were literally flipping through a copy of gun digest and made a list of the ones that were scary looking. I know its not an AK but I just ordered a Famae SG542... Its shipping out tomorrow. We still have cool rifles. Just not the ones on that very specific list.
