7.62X54r rifles available to buy in Canada beside mosin-nagant and svt 40

[OR4NGE]

Hey there,

I really love the cartridge and the fact that you can buy it cheaply.

I know the dragunov and all variants are banned here but was curious if there were any other rifles beside a mosin and svt 40 that one could buy to shoot the 7.62X54r Cartridge.

Thanks !

I read that already, most of these are based either on the dragunov (rpk?) action which is prohib except for a few I am unsure about such as the Alejandro, JS 7.62 and a few russian made sporters.

Did not Baikal make a double rifle in 7.62 x 54 ?

 

[Snider shooter]

Also the Ross. The Soviets used it as their biathalon rifle.

Which they won the Olympic Games with i believe in 1951.

After talking to a few stores and gunsmith. there does not seem to be any other options except for the people who grandfathered their norinco svd back in 1995. Also because the cartridge is rimmed, making a conversion out of a BCL/Stag receiver or Tikka t3 action is not really doable.

Best bet is Mosin archangel stock as it is the only stock that supports a mag. Or a bubbarized tacticool svt 40 .

I hope someone proves me wrong and finds an obscure 7.62X54r that we can buy here.

The ones I've seen for purchase in Canada in 7.62x54R nowadays are all variants of the Mosin M91 (e.g. Remington and Westinghouse), the Finnish M91-based variants, the Winchester Model 1895 (pretty rare), the Mosin 91/30 (including a sniper), the Mosin M38&44 carbine and the SVT-38&40. Personally, I've never seen the Chinese JS 7.62 sniper in Canada.

 

[Eaglelord17]

1895 Winchester is the only other option I know of other than the Mosin and SVT. That being said expect a price tag of at least 3k when you do find one for sale.

 

[Cottage Hill Bill]

Boyd's stocks make several models for the MN range including a new adjustable butt pad, adjustable comb model for under $200 USD.

Which they won the Olympic Games with i believe in 1951.

Which the Soviets likely confiscated from Latvia or Estonia when they invaded and re-chambered to 7.62x54R

 

[Hrsplit]

Where do tu find cheap 7.62x54r because I been looking and it ain't cheap ?

 

[Snider shooter]

Discover the wonderful world of reloading and things are much cheaper.

You could have an Enfield sporter .303 converted, but it would not be cheap and the mag will be finicky. How much 7.64x54R do you have stored-up? That ammo may be cheap now, but it will eventually be as expensive as .303

Yes. Buy it now. Better than gold. Gold sometimes goes down in value...

 

[bearhunter]

I was offered a Pattern 14 rifle at the Vernon Gun show that had been re chambered to 7.62x54.

It was done on a cut back sporter. There was nothing military about it any longer, other than the bolt. It looked good but???????????? The "good ole boy" did the work himself to take advantage of the cheap surplus available. He was getting long in the tooth and did't appreciate the recoil, not to mention aging eyes. He also wanted way to much money for it.


TURF THE LIBERALS IN 2019

 

[CMichaud]

Baikal made single shot break action in 7.62x54

IZH-18MH

 

[TrendyRendy]

Could we not take some sort of semi auto action like vz58 or type 81 etc and come up with one that can shoot 7.62x54r?
Yeah you would have to build a rifle from the ground up but would it be possible?
I would love to have a dragunov variant and it pushes me off we cant have it here

 

[Dantone05]

First thing that came to my mind was the 1895 but alas they are priced a little steep but it's nice to dream

No it's not:
