IIRC, those particular AK's were given by the Canadian government to the natives. Can you imagine the s**tstorm they would brew if the man came and took THEIR guns away?

From the rumours I have heard, part of the reason they were given them was for northern defence, as Russia was still an enemy communist state back in the 80's, and there was the fear of them taking that route if they ever invaded.

If that's the case, then might as ship out a new set:p The international political environment lately hasn't been too friendly *looks at Russia*

O yea, the Remington 7400 can maybe be another option in this thread. Considering that the M14 and Ruger Mini 14 are labelled as "black guns" in here.
 
M14S are about $460 currently. They'll be "coming back" though, so I've heard from virtually every dealer (including Canadian Tire!)

Canadian Tire sells firearms? I thought retail chains in Canada aren't allowed to sell guns, only ammunition and airguns.
 
Canadian Tires are private owned. They buy the franchise and run the store with'in the company guide lines, thats why not all CT stores carry all the same stuff, etc... (Thats how it was when I worked there back in 1996 anyways...things may have changed now!?!?

Nope, you got it right. It's up to the franchisee. Calgary store owner also owns Red Deer, they both carry. Edmonton, at least west end, he doesn't carry firearms.
