No end to SKS imports yet new source for them is Russia however quality SKSs that we were getting over few years out of Ukraine are finished due to war
There are still SKS coming to Canada out of Russian Federation. It is not the end of SKS imports to Canada however it is a real end of quality imports till the new source is found. You probably have seen SKSs that came out of Russia this year. They are for sale here and there, they are "Scrape Yard Condition". All of this rifles are EX-Venezuelan "Militia, Jungle Farmers" lease returns that were returned to Russia after the lease had ended. They were repainted in Russia, some were counter bored. They are characterized by rougher shape stocks, barbecue paint finish, signed of rust and brownish stained bayonets. Most obvious distinguishing mark is small laser engraving on the right side of the receiver. If you are looking for junk gun to throw around they are OK but do not expect quality
