Right on, what years did you get,, any non refurbs? our CTC just match locally, in province, but they have the best price anyway! $199 for birch stock, he brought in 150 last fall and has about 30 left but just ordered 50 more regular and a bout 20 super duper deluxe, their price will be going up about 10-15%, they let me help date the first batch and I hope this next batch too, so I can pick out the last few/years I need to finish my group!So as most you all know the Sks is, has and will continue to go up in price! Thought I should call up some of the local Canadian Tires in the area to see if they had any in stock. Orillia NO STOCK! Gravenhurst NO STOCK! Bracebridge NO STOCK! Huntsville 18 IN STOCK! Guess they just got a fresh shipment in....sweet. Asked the employee if they would do a price match (Tenda $209) on them and was assured they would. Awesome saves me Driving down to Richmond Hill. So off I go to Huntsville CT. Show up and there they are sitting pretty in a row. Talk to the employee and said I had just phoned in and wanted to hand pick some Sks's out of what they have in stock/get a $209 price match. "SORRY SIR WE DONT PRICE MATCH FIREARMS....". I says pardon! As we are both looking at the case of Russian beauties.
Ok so let's get this straight...I just drove from 2 towns over was guaranteed you would price match. Well At this point what do I got to lose and start to kick up some dirt. So another employee shows up. Great, let's get this sorted out. Again, sorry sir we don't price match..... as they are ripping the " WE MATCH COMPETITORS PRICES" sign off the glass gun display. My jaw drops. This isn't how it works. So I get talking to them about SKS prices and their wholesale cost was well beyond what I was trying to get the price match for. Well sorry about your luck but im not leaving without what was guaranteed to me can I speak to the manager. She replys "Iam the manager of the sports department" snooty like. As I reply " The store manager,the one who manages you". So he comes down and I explain that they should honour the price match as well as the sign that use to be on the display before it was ripped down infront of me. "Yes sir your right" while giving the other two employees the stink eye haha. PERFECT!!!! Sorted through the ones in the display and got them to bring the ones out of the back.
After $209 price match and 10% CT money they were roughly $216 taxes in. Thanks Huntsville CT
What Mark is on the unknown after serial#, a 56=D sort of,, 57=N backwards and 58= k
Hey Meems. I am just curious which st catharines location you are talking about with the sks's? Also do they stock any other types of firearms? I may want to go check it out sometime in the near future
Then according to the latest theory it is a 1957! Nice rifles!Ya it's a backwards N
Just off the 406. 431 Louth Street.
The store in Caledonia also has some. The ones I saw were $229 on sale for $219. Pretty beat up looking BBQ paint.
The Burlington store also carries them for $229, looked a bit nicer. The guy working there went out to the warehouse and picked a specific model year I requested. Overall pretty nice shape.
Do they really give you 10% CT money? I thought the CT money was way less than it used to be.
Haha it should be that wayI thought it was less than 3 % now . Maybe the 10 % was to make up for bad customer service , and removing the price match sign while the customer was standing there....
Where I live they don't want to go in the back to get the other SKS's as they are "Buried" so bs, next time I go Im going to talk to the Owner {if there} or store manager. They seem to try Not to follow there policy if they can get away with it, {price matching} not all places, but some seem more hard *ss about it, I guess its a Family biz, as they seem really cheap, trying to Save the Company $ & too bothered to accommodate with the SKS's...one of their lowest cost {firearms} items.
*Edit*
