Shoot ! If it wasn't for that stupid ban all announcement I'd be getting on this train, I'm a believer of the T81 since I got my SR and would love a sexy T81 folder but high risk of throwing that money away give the garbage ban =\

That's a good thought. Plus trying to track down all of the non registered ones, it's merely impossible.
This is likely technically true, even at $400/each it would be half a billion to buy back the supply of SKS in the country. But if it goes like the OIC, then the vast majority of people are buying something thats not legal to remove from their safe. For the next 5 years. And can't see them putting a no-transfer limit on them (because they currently don't collect that info on P to P sales), because that doesn't get these dangerous weapons of wankage off the streets. Like everything the govt does, poorly thought out. Its a shame that every single person that buys one ends up selling it 3 days after it arrives. Just too hard to keep track of who has them...
As for the price, for anyone who thinks they are too expensive, wait until the deadline for c-21 approaches, maybe the price will drop. How did that work out for you with the short guns?
I see prices going up or holding for T81. Sellers will be dumping higher value (g36) or the less reliable (wk).
I've made a few sales for TI today just by spreading the word.
Lest We Forget
The fact that they added the SKS to the list basically confirms they will let us grandfather them. Or at least the probabilities will be high, especially after the recent handgun ban. Buy what you can folks.
Currently trying to offload my gen 2 WK to get a folder. I personally like the ergonomics of the Kodiak but the ammo is just so darn pricy these days.
How does this lean towards grandfathering when the OIC is an outright ban, and many of the new additions to the c21 retardation is just filling the gaps. Unless they walk the OIC back to something like the short gun rules (which would make sense except they have no idea where these pews currently reside. So it would be difficult to reg them to a specific PAL).
The 81 is a solid gun, aside from the limited and/or expensive optics options. And its a little spendy to just go zapping a mauser side mount into the side of it (although that didn't stop me). Wish i had got on the SR train (so pretty), but now I'm thinking my LMG needs a folding buddy.
