Norinco M14 "M305A" 18.6" 7.62x39 (Non-Restricted) has arrived in Canada
- Thread starter North_Sylva
- Start date
We have spare magazines arriving in a few week's time.
May be $856.79 was a typo??I am being optimistic.
Although, as people have pointed out already, I would rather buy a .308 for $600+ than this!
Bring the price point to less than $600 and see those fly like kites...off the shelves, seriously...
Firearms businesses could learn from Printer manufacturers, they make the printers cheap to sell you ink cartridges, printer toners and related peripherals.
Make the guns cheap and sell more ammo...
I see the sponsor in Durham has the price down to $800.
Still far too high IMO.

Why is it that the chi-coms can come out with a spectacular rifle in 7.62X39, but the big manufacturers ignore this demand?
Instead of adapting their lever action rifles to a plentiful & reasonable caliber, they continue to churn out 30-30 dreck!
How about Savage chambering their successful Axis bolt action rifle in 7.62X39?
M1 carbines in 7.62X39? Of course CZ gets it with their superb CZ 527 carbine, but it's just too pricy.
What's wrong with the rest of the gun makers?

well the big manufacturers ignore the x39 because of its lack of accuracy. the appeal is cheap surplus, not match or hunting.
so the will exclude most bolt guns. they are used for hunting or accuracy, both of with surplus x39 sucks balls in.
all we have left are semi automatics. ignore Canada for a second and think. gun makers are US or European based. X39 is an AK round for the most part. the US makes/imports boatloads of AK's. Europe just has them there. so what is the benefit to make a x39 gun?
the only reason people buy surplus is for cheap plinking fun. and if you buy a "new" rifle in x39, it is no longer "cheap" fun.

It would hold open if you use a Yugo mag, just like the Ak47
