Inflated? The wholesale price difference from before Oct 7 and after Oct 7 is a whole $100. Hardly what I'd call "inflated."

true bcos i paid $2699 two years ago but in general, our prices are inflated compared to the US $1888.

$1888 usd is $2526 cad. An extra $175 in a market that is 100x smaller isn't exactly highway robbery.

100x? Where you get that number? Their population is 10x bigger and gun ownership is twice so 20x at best. But in this case that number don't count becos the guns are made in the same place and shipped to us , like we are another state except the currency conversion. Still why should we pay more when I can buy from irunguns.

The X95s we import from Israel are straight from the factory. Iwi USA had to build a factory in the US, hire workers, have the parts shipped from Israel to the US factory, then assemble the rifles. Yet they sell them for cheaper than the retail price we get slapped with here.
Why? Who knows? Maybe the middleman knows something about it
 
I'm sure the importation process crossing an international border has something to do with the price increase. People have to get paid to do work. Guns crossing a border is work, a whole bunch of it as it turns out.

again, in this case irunguns dont charge importation fee for the same gun, only US$25 to ship to their warehouse (in canada) then another shipping charge to your door. so no idea why there was a mad dash to pay more. BTW. irunguns has restricted too.

As far as the canadian border is concerned anything that's not a prohibited device can be imported without any special paperwork.

Fill out a piece of paper?

I order from irunguns on a regular basis. Just 2 months ago I ordered AK magazines which were sold in Canada, same magazine, paid $14 to irunguns, total was $21 Canadian each (inc tax and shipping). Here the retailers had them for $60 plus plus. I posted it on here and of course they sold out quickly, nobody thanked me, lol.

Yesterday I ordered a lot of magazines from them again, at half price after all is said and done compared to Kanudu.

The X95 could easily be sold for $2,299 here, Tenda had them this year at this price. I always watch Tenda when they kick the competition into the nuxs. Same for other guns, when Tenda started offering the SUB2000 for around $700, now they are everywhere, same for other guns, not all.
 
BTW, IRG is really excellent in pinning magazines, 5 rounds, clean, not 4 or 6 rounds, haha. No screw up. Other retailers sent me mags in the past which you could not even insert into the gun.

Agree 100%...I bought standard 5/30 pmags from them a few years back. I mark the mags where i bought them just because I am that way...and i'm glad I did because I noticed that the ones pinned by IRG are the most consistent in terms of loading exactly 5 without excessive wiggle room or not enough. Same for the Glock 10/33s I got from them.

Same here.

When I recently saw the cheap price on the Sub2000, it was surprising to see since I think I bought mine for around that much in 2016. They must be trying to liquidate the Gen2s, now that the Gen3s are in the pipeline.

The FPC is pretty compelling. I generally don't buy first iterations on any model, but for the friends I know who have owned it, they have nothing but positive things to say about it, even despite the fact it uses proprietary mags.

I saw G4C has some FPCs on sale last year and I waited a couple of day while my sold securities settled before I got the money. By the time I got the money, guns all sold out. Given how popular these are, I am doubtful these will be on sale any time soon since there have been no issues selling it at the 999 price point.

You guys done it yourselves have you? I have and it was a giant PIA and a bunch of paperwork to accomplish. It also takes weeks to months. You don't just fill out a form and presto you get to import a gun.

Importing a magazine is not even close to importing a firearm.

Import from where?? The problem is the american EXPORT process.
If IWI would ship direct from Israel to us it would be as complicated as receiving a post card
