    Those who want to buy, now is the time as they will not be getting cheaper. My math says $3850 divided by 20 = $192.50 or $187.50 by EMT, not over $200 each.
    x %5 gst, sorry I was including the governments take, In a related note, prices have gone up from $189 to $229 locally

    1000 fighters and sends them to the other side
    of the hill. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades,
    rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible
    battle is fought.... Then Silence.



    Eventually one badly wounded Russian fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men......it's a trap. There's two of them."
    Bahahahaha. One of my favourite jokes but I use canadian vs yanke in the war of 1812. The above though actually holds water in light of the Winter War. Good one.

    Buying 20 for over 200 a piece, I'm just not seeing the value in that unless a person wants to hang on to it for 20 years

    Usually the more you buy the cheaper it gets. Just saying

    I picked up two complete crates about 4 years ago. It was a good deal because it was more or less 25% off the going retail price to buy it as a case lot. There is still a retailer here who has regular run of the mill 91/30s currently listed for 190 bucks. It would be cheaper to buy 20 rifles from him. I have no problem coming up with cash, but there is little incentive to bulk buy with this price.

    Is there tax and shipping on top of that though?
    I guess you do get the crate out of the deal too, for what it's worth.

    The crates are sold out now for the next 2 shipments (10 crates). If you want an 1891/30, best to buy from who ever has them.

    I have a relative in the states who keeps asking me about what a good deal on an AK47 is. He has been to busy looking for the best deal on a AK more so then he actually wants to buy a AK. Several years have past and the AKs have gone from $300, to $700, and he keeps asking, and looking because he wants it to be a deal.

    Paying market value (or slightly more) today, will seem like a steal in a few months.

    200 Rifles pre-sold in just a couple days. We have a hand full of single rifles left and then nothing for a while. Some people want to spend most of their time breaking down all the aspects and talk dollars and cents. Meanwhile the supply is drying up.

    If you really want one of these rifle, BUY IT ASAP FROM WHO EVER HAS THEM, but buy them sooner, rather then later.

    When new years eve 2017 comes around, we may have to post a link to this thread into all the Red Rifle threads that are asking "what happened to the price of 1891/30s?".

    While I wholeheartedly agree that one should buy the rifles while you can still get them, but offering a 20 lot at single item price (x20) is no incentive to buy and just reflects poorly on your business practices.

    I have been buying rifles, but I turn away from deals like this. Its no loss to the buyer. I've got single rifles in transit that are cheaper landed than your bulk price.
