Would it make sense for Marstar to bring in Nagant M1895 revolvers?

Good morning Johnone and Marstar.

A link to this site was posted in another forum:

http://contact-kalia.com/product/nagant-revolver-m1895/

and there seemed to be a lot of interest in these.

I acknowledge that I, like most of the CGN peanut gallery know little about importing firearms. However, this seems of interest to a lot of people on CGN, and yours seems the most logical company to bring these in.

What say you? Is it already on your radar, or something that could be of interest?

Thanks in advance.

And the M14 Sniper Rifles!!! Strip them down and sell everything as parts kits, minus the receivers!!! Hell, you could probably even sell the cut-up, mis-matched receiver pieces as cool paperweights!

I've always been a bit confused about the selective fire feature.

Were ALL M14's built that way?

Or just the ones meant to be "squad automatic weapons"?

I assume the select fire ones are 'cooler'... but for Canadians they're unobtanium.

By design the USGI M14 was a semi-automatic rifle with a selector switch that the soldier's section commander could rotate to give that rifleman a light machine gun. The tool is a funny shaped key. The reciever has a lug on the bottom right side of the receiver (that is why there is a notch in the USGI stocks), for the selector. The go-fast parts can be removed and destroyed, but the reciever will always have that lug. Therefore, our elders and betters have decided stock USGI M14 rifles are Prohibited or at the least Converted Auto. Unless a Canadian has the right letters on their PAL, they can't own one. And since the early 90's they cannot transport to a range to fire or test fire.

Ah... thanks for that. So it wasn't just about the 'selector switch' on the side of the rifle. Gotcha.

It is a selector switch that rotates from full to semi . Most M14's had a cap installed instead of the switch .
No key required . You simply punched out the roll pin , removed the cap , installed the selector switch reinserted the roll pin in the selector switch & you had a select fire M14 .
The M14's that were imported into Canada before being reclassified prohibited converted autos had the cap welded on .
also the eccentric pin that rotated with the switch was welded in place & the auto sear was ground off .
The original standard M14 was not controllable on full auto . After the first couple rounds fired the gun was basically an anti-aircraft gun. That's why they came out with the E2 stock , muzzle break , & bipod
