Corwin arns and westrifle

[PackhorseTriumph]

I remember years ago these were decent shops for picking up milsurp but now seem to be almost dead. Other than the mosin dry up for westrifle, does anyone know why these sites no longer seem to sell anything interesting?

Surplus days are pretty much done, except for small lots at unbelievable prices.

That's true.

You need a nice milsurp rifle, well, you are a couple of years to late.

Or see in the EE, last ones are there at high price.

Mosin nagant at 199$ not the case anymore..
Like a svt-40 for 299$
And k98 at 500$

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say this in the open, but I talked to Martin (Corwin Arms) and he said he's holding off on bringing in too much stock for fear of what another liberal govt might do. Assuming the cpc can win the next election it'll be back to normal for him.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of the other small online only retailers were taking a similar wait and see approach in these trying times.

Was thinking about this yesterday. The difference between even now and three years ago is remarkable.

Absolutely. I have never had such trouble finding certain milsurps as I have had in the past year. I’m beginning to seriously look at importing an Imperial German Gewehr 98 and a few other milsurp rifles

Corwin was done long before any mention of these liberal bans

These shops have to pay hundreds of thousands to get a good price on a lot sale for good rifles and it can take a few months or a year to get delivered. Pretty scary investment right now in Canada.
