Our current inventory, that we purchased at the old price (cheaper) is starting to run low. Since Monday we have seen a 10 fold increase in sales, due to the spring weather and people concerned about the gun bill.

As of last month the wholesale price for SKS rifles has now exceeded our current retail price on 10 Packs of rifles. Yes, we are retailing 3, 5, & 10 packs, of SKS rifles for the same or slightly less than the price for us to replace them. We had purchased over 700 rifles last spring at this lower price for when the SKS rifles would start to run out. Currently there is less than 500 rifles left in distributor inventory, once these are gone, the only available rifles left from Europe are expected to be $350.00+.

We have about 150 rifles left at the old price, listed here.
 
If it werent for those meddling ukrianians and sanctions we could still get the old stocks that are still in russia. But due to sanctions the number of countries we can get surplus from has diminished, and it doesnt help its also being sold to ukriane/syria/africa. Also that ammo depot explosion a few years back really didnt help.
 
how many times did we hear over the last couple of years that the distributors' inventory is drying and that SKS prices are hiking up next summer/winter....

Sorry I forgot, you obviously know more then the people who import the rifles about how many guns they have left and what their wholesale cost is. After all we said the same thing about SVTs, Mosins, and K31's and nothing ever happened to their availability............

If you only purpose is to make comments about how we are wrong, PM us you contact info, and we would be very happy to make a friendly wager over who is correct on the current Canadian stock & wholesale costs.

Made me chuckle, glad to see a little friendly banter coming :)
 
So quick Math on the 20 pack of SKS's, after taxes, shipping and the $150 EMT payment discount, it still works out to $238.88 here in Alberta.

Not trying to be a #### but this really isn't much of a deal. I paid $220 shipped for the one I have from Wanstall's 2 months ago and its in Minty Shape.


Just saying guys

If it weren't for those meddling Russians invading Ukraine, there would be lots of SKS available. Fixed it for ya.

You mean the SKS rifles that they decided to clear out to move on to other projects and make space (we talk a couple times a month)? What is their price today?

We are not trying to clear these out at cost. Each business decides what is best for them. For us 6 figured investments are not designed to be flipped at cost.

We can go back to when SKS rifles were $179.95 4 years ago, the reality of the past does not reflect today.

This thread is to list what is for sale, not what things once were or personal opinions of what things should be.
 
Not sure if they can import more or not, or the new cost to them, but Frontier is correct about the approx amount of sks left at North Sylva! 500 ish, all grades etc combined!
Once everyone figures out what this c71 means, I thing sks will sell fast, at least till they implement the bill into law!

The only sks rifles left are in the hands of German Importers. $175.00 USD is the price, plus shipping, plus importers margin, plus shipping to dealers, plus dealer mark up.

Feel free to do the math and let me know if you are able to come up with a retail under $300.00.


We were already told this by the other dealer, a year ago.
