It was a simple question pcv, please read the first reply and ask yourself who came here poking that stick. I understand some of you will defend your CA brothers no matter what, but this anti American rhetoric isn't helping. Please set your egos aside and have a civil conversation relevant to the OP. This forum already has a reputation of one of the most intolerant and unwelcoming anywhere on the net. You can either be part of the problem, or part of the solution. Choice is yours.



Let me attempt this one last time.

I understand your laws do not require an import stamp. That being said, I would think some of you guys would have a general idea of how many importers of the Russian sks there have been, and possibly how many may have been imported?

At least 5! Problem is most retailers don't tell us where they get their guns so there could be many more importers of sks we don't know about!

The numbers listed above may very well be right or he may be tugging you leg, the government keeps a pretty good record of what comes into the country! I though there was more than that, closer to a million but that may be wishful thinking! I hope things loosen up with China, would love for those cheap, new, military sks to come in by the sea can full and we could get them for $150. Again, I would have a couple crates!

Hello Beater.

We had at least 21 importers that distributed to numerous retailers lasting about a decade.

As usual, the quantity is harder to pinpoint, but a very conservative estimate is said to be at least 30,000 units.

Wow that is far fewer SKS rifles than we have in Canada...

By a long shot. I won’t publish the figures I have, most importers don’t divulge much at all and I’m won’t publish what I know. Cheers.
 
Thats just Russians fyi. But since you didn't put up a number or a source, your comment is moot. Stop trolling me!!

I’m not trolling you at all... lol

I’ll tell you that for just Soviet SKS alone, Canada imported many more than the USA.

The US number you quoted doesn’t even come close.
 
There are roughly 400,000,000 (million) firearms in the US civilian sector consisting of 46% of all guns world wide.

Something tells me your full of sheet.

That number was actually a statistical fact.

Nobody knows a total number of firearms since many people never registered them when we had a registry and many Canadians are hush hush about firearms.

Do you think we should ship him off to Texas?

This is not entirely true. There are far far more. I believe the explanation is that this figure is related to individual sales, and does not always reflect when an individual sale consists of multiple firearms.

Also, it does not track inherited firearms.

Because of this, the number could be closer to 700million privately owned guns on the US.
 
Ok.... the estimated 30k Russians in the US was fake news. I have RunningMan crunching the numbers. I was also contacted by a fine gentleman from CA that told me every shipment and their quantity into CA.

Stay tuned or lock it down.... choice is yours.

Unless you are talking to the government, no other 1 man would likely know the number unless he/she got it from the government!
