Looking for Milsurp-Related Gun Stores and Smiths in AB

[Drachenblut]

Hello!

I am sort of new to Alberta, having come from Ontario. I am looking for gun stores and smiths that deal in Milsurps and reloading (Such as Shooters Choice in Sudbury, ON or EllwoodEpps, Orillia, ON). If some fellow Albertans can mention a few they know of, that would be great. I live around Olds, AB so the closer the better

Are there any personal recommendations for stores or smiths?

Thanks!

Being in Olds, you're between The Shooting Edge in Calgary and Milarm in Edmonton.

I haven't had much dealings with TSE for a while but they sold me my minty k31 a couple years ago - nice people. They also deal with some pretty high end toys and can get you pointed in the right direction if you need something fixed.

Milarm is where I get all my SKS stuff and where I bought the bulk of my Yugo 8mm hoard.

Welcome to Alberta.

An option in Calgary is ProLine Shooters on 9 Avenue in Inglewood. They always seem to have one or two milsurps hanging about. Last time I was in there they had an 1895 Chileno Mauser (7x57) on hand.

Welcome to the great West my friend! I'm a member up at Olds so we should head out milsurp shooting over Christmas!

As for milsurp stores, you're SOL my friend. I catch the odd one at TSE and Pro Line but that is about it. MilArm has them once and a while according to their website but that is about it. The best milsurp store around though is getting to know the farmers who always have a few lying around they are willing to part with. That's how I have got most of mine.

Welcome to Alberta. I've had really good luck with the gunsmith at TSE in Calgary. There is another "gunsmith" that works out of a room in a trailer in a trailer park in Calgary. STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!!!

In Edmonton, Milarm usually has about 15 to 20 milsurp rifles or handguns kicking around. Lots of Mausers, Enfields and a few unusual ones. Lock & Load also usually has quite a few. Both are good to check out when you're up in town. I don't think P&D carries much in the way of milsurp at all.
