    I'm looking at my Norinco JW-25A right now. It's a copy of the BRNO #2 action and done up to ~somewhat~ look like a Mauser K98.

    How hard would it be to make a Norinco M305 ~somewhat~ resemble a M1 Garand? I'm talking change the stock, different barrel, flush fit magazine (but still detachable; 5+ rounds?), extended gas tube (or a dummy extension/strut bar?), different front sight, etc.

    It wouldn't be an exact copy but maybe close enough is good enough?

    They'll tool up a factory for anything if they see a potential profit. They build whole empty cities that are sitting empty, waiting for peasants to move there and become factory workers as soon as the idle factories think of something to make.

    I hear lots of people not reporting problems with theirs.

    A few Canadian citizens looking for a Chinese copy at the lowest reasonable price.

    The math just does not add up here.

    Canadian government runs on trans, gays and French speaking women. Let them fight the next war over there.

    This...even if everyone in Canada wanted one, that's still smaller than the people living in LA. Hope that gives a little preservative of how small of a market we are.

    It likely will never happen, but it is an entertaining question and more fun to read than posts about 'I got my new gun and it was screwed up' or 'I got a new gun and it was not screwed up'. This was a real feel good piece.

    I live for the feel good pieces or (even better) posts about new models of guns being brought in to Canada.

    We're still a larger market to them than the US because they can't sell their guns in America.
