    AT $500-700 a unit it will take probably a minimum order of 10,000 units before they can recoup the cost of tooling up a production line and start making a profit without government contract 10,000 rifles will take better part of a decade to sell out in Canada.

    Canada isn't Norinco's only market people. They sell all over Asia and Africa as well. Not sure about Europe.

    I tell you what, in Mexico and Belize private citizens are forbidden to own this rifle and I suspect most other Central American countries follow this example as well.

    And in Asia or Africa, exactly how many countries would you think would allow their private citizens to legally import/own this centrefire semi-automatic rifle?
    I would argue that this number would be very small and therefore not commercially viable. Consider these factors too: Surplus ammunition is pretty much zero, and that makes it a handloaded rifle only as most would not be able to afford the aftermarket imported Garand friendly ammo from the USA. Even if they were allowed to do so by their own government.

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

    I think a Norc Garand could fetch $1000 or so.. but I bet that landed cost more to then that to get them set up and sent over here. Shame because its a great design and desire is there. Look at Garand prices shooting up over the last decade.

    New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, scandanavia and many other European countries allow citizens to own these guns and Norc m14s are very popular in these places.

    Instead of spending 1000$ in 2-3 years why not just buy a garand on the EE for 1400$?

    That's why I was asking about taking a gun they already produce (the M305) and converting it to look like a Garand using the bare minimum of special parts.
