Yeah there's a difference between baking a cake and decorating one.I'm just stepping in to point out that going to Canadian Tire and buying some plastic-fantastic stock for your SKS does NOT constitute a "build". You didn't build sh!t
One thing nobody tells you. These rifles were sighted in by the factory with the bayonet extended. indeed all Mosins, SVT and SKS were sighted in by the Soviet army with bayonet on.
Note to Canadian Tire: contact me also. I want to buy something for an SKS.
If this works i'll be doing all my purchases this way.
Visit your Canadian tire. Tell them you want them to.putnsomethint together for you and leave your number.
At this point since I haven't received a PM from hical they can consider me a lost customer. Curiously I asked the same thing of Canadian Tire and they called back with several build options and were happy to help me.
Retailers need to work to gain loyal customers and hical really failed IMHO. I'm sure all the twits that joined in derailing this topic just for their own fun didn't help - but that's ultimately still hical's problem. Listen to people trolling a topic or actually help sell something and gain a customer.
On the car and other enthusiast sites I'm on this would have never gone this way. Site sponsors would have PMd me right away - happy to sell me something knowing I'd come back for more and tell all my friends.
Oh well. Mix a bunch of passive aggressive Canadians and their neutered access to guns along with the Internet and this is what you get.
So I guess ultimately it's Canadian Tire who gets my business. A learning lesson for all those smaller retailers that you have to do more than just post "I have what you need" in a forum to win a customer.
And my apologies for the behavior of some fellow members!
They would have had my money if they would have PMd me. Pretty easy way to make cash - just send someone a PM who wants to give you money.

Why not just go to Cantire, pick what you want and be done with it in one trip?Visit your Canadian tire. Tell them you want them to.putnsomethint together for you and leave your number.
Classic cgn. I would stay away from ati personally. I would go Archangel. And my apologies for the behavior of some fellow members!
