    The continuance of the mandatory license as contained in sections 91 and 92 of the Criminal Code is the gravest threat to firearms ownership in Canada.

    Agreed, Tokarev is cheap and plentiful, would be a great plinking rifle.

    Ohno, I haven't had the oportunity to chrony it yet. It seems to be as accurate as the SKS though. The last shoot for me this year was at pumpkins and the FMJ rounds just went through them. I have to wait till next spring to do more testing.

    Well, something needs to be done. The U.S is getting ready to do a across the board ban first of the New Year. Be nice if someone brought them back in Canada, with a 18.5" barrel in .30 carbine for ol' times sake.

    Would love a m1 carbine. 30c as is. Why re-chamber it when it works

    Sure it works, but I think it has been explained earlier. The 30 carbine ammo is quite a bit pricier, and a little harder to find. I personally didn't care for stressing about losing the brass.

    With it chambered in the tt round, I just plink, then sweep my area clean. I also don't care to reload for a semi-auto. Lots of work for such a short duration of fun. SKS type fun for even cheaper.

    Each to his own, I say. It suits me better re-chambered. I would buy a semi auto in this round if I could find one. I couldn't find one, so I built one. I also plan on building a bolt gun in this same round, just because I want one and as far as I know, they don't exist.
