Milsurp Guns & Ammo at Winnipeg Canadian Tire on Leila

[lalunette]

Howdy CGN !!

Heard the Winnipeg Canadian Tire on Leila was carrying milsurp guns & ammo... and it sure does !!

I was there on Sunday and they had, on display, an M44 for around $400, a regular 91/30 for $176, a sniper 91/30 with a repro scope for around $600 and an SVT-40 for $299.

They also have milsurp Czech 7.62x54r ammo at $129 (or was it $139) for a box of 400.

There was also some old German, Swiss and US milsurps, as well as a Norinco M14 for $550.

I handled both the regular 91/30 and the SVT-40. The 91/30 was a '42 round receiver Izzy with a good post-war stock. I forgot to check where the SVT-40 came from but the stock was not AVT and real nice, despite a weird stock repair Under where the shelles eject.

I'm definitely going back for a better look and my older brother is coming with... I think I finally convinced him to join the "milsurp dark side". LOL

Yes, they have a great selection and have so since last summer. This has already been shared and discussed here in other threads.

The Welland Ontario store recently became a hunting and shooting center (I believe that's what they are calling themselves). Brings up an interesting point though. Is it better to support small gun shops which around me tend to be out of the way and very low key, or buy from Canadian tire and maybe help to raise the profile of the sport? I think one of the biggest problems is that a lot of Canadians rarely even see firearms. When they do its on TV and maybe not in the best light.
