Pretty cool score from Mike At Canadain Tire McPhillips. Mosin/K31

[safety first]

I met Mike the Sports fellow who is largely responsible for the great selection of firearms at Canadian Tire On Mcphillips here in Winnipeg. I tell him I want to buy a Mosin once and buy a good one. Oh you just got a shipment of K31's in? oh 20 ? Yes, I would like to browse the crate to pick one out.

Mike takes me to the vault. The vault is browsed. My eyes are drawn to the K31 with the competition stickers. I was worried the bore might be shot out, but the trigger is unbelievable , so I snagged it. The bore looks to the eye pretty slick. The micrometer might disagree however.
Next in the vault, my attention turns to the Mosins, I browse through, mostly war-time stuff, then boom, I spy a 1936. It looks amazing. The bore is dark. Yada,yada,yada, I get it home and clean it and it looks like it's made of glass.

Very very happy with the Cdn Tire selection and service.

I also picked up 480 of GP 11. Holy cow is that good stuff. Not worth explaining if you've never seen it. It's like match ammo.

anyway it's great to add to the collection, these are neat.

Very nice, did they have the gp11 ammo at the Canadian tire on mcphilips as well? How was the price?

I'm getting a k31 and 480 rounds for Christmas from the gf but she ordered online already. Just nice to have a local source for ammo!

Nice. 1936 is the second year for the round receiver on Izhevsk rifles too.

Also curious on pricing, not that I need another of either. I might want one though!

Also. The next time you can take along your mosin cleaning jag and a few patches. Chat up the clerk and I've rarely been refused an opportunity to run a few down the tube in the store.

The K31 tag translates as:
The Military Shooting Club of the city of St.Gallen

Hi guys !!

Nice to find other Mosin Nagant owners in Winnipeg.

Sounds like we have the makings for a local Mosin shoot ???

Thanks for the pricing. I'll have to take a run up there one day.

This seems like a pretty progressive store.

Yes, I've had a look around there myself, hopefully if we can keep business hopping they'll expand. So awesome to have a milsurp dealer a short drive away. Prices seem reasonable too, not screamin cheap, but reasonable.

They look very nice, I think you did well with your choices!

We can only hope that CTC around here has half the stuff.. Lucky guy
