Yes I feel the same way, but this group/website has fantastic helpful and interesting people, it,s the best !
Yes as the fly on the wall being entertained and thoroughly amused
If this is true, and the 200,000 rifles were divided up between say, 12 stores in Canada, that's over 16,000 rifles per store. Maybe the $4 per rifle is a true story !
I agree totally. I was just commenting on how this thread has developed of late.
We are all just having tongue in cheek fun as most of us see prices of Mosin, SKS and SVT-40 at their lowest in 3 years, a sale at TSE this weekend, SKS for $149, I got 2 Mosins delivered taxes in for $241.90, SVT-40 2 months ago for $200! So there may be a shortage coming, but it ain't here yet! Plus, if there is a shortage coming, why are most of the red rifle dealers selling so cheap,, they will run out sooner and not have any restock! However just in case there is truth to the rumors,, buy them cheap and rack them deep!! ;0)
One last thing, to all the dealers who are still selling at reasonable, uninflated prices,, THANKYOU!

Oh ok. I was wondering because I noticed that Le Baron doesn't have any 7.62x54r surplus ammo for sale anymore and I need some. I was wondering if I should start to stock up before they make it $2 a shot like all the other types of ammo
It's been said elsewhere on this site that there will be no more ammo from China either... Shipping company won't ship it anymore, but that still leaves some of those other countries (do any of those make new production 7.62x39?). A number of Internet articles are expecting a 7.62x39 shortage; hopefully that's not the case.
Surplus ammo in Canada is fine, I think. Be mindful of "ammo shortage" articles coming from the US, where the rules are way different. Most surplus 7.62x39, and more recently, 5.45x39, is banned from import to the US because of the steel core issue, which BATF considers "armor penetrating pistol ammo" because, well, Americans will make pistols that shoot anything. (And yes, there are AK-47 pistols and AK-74 pistols around).
The 5.45x39 ban is fairly new down there, really just rumours of importers getting denied import permits and supply drying up. Good news for us, because Canada is the next best/most profitable dumping ground for east block surplus. Now we just need a cheap surplus rifle that isn't prohib chambered in 5.45x39

Ah yes!! a lot of 5.45x39 to feed our.. AK-74s? That would an instant wet dream
Unfortunatly only a dream.. Thanks lieberals 
But seriously I would love to see that ammo in Canada. We would just need some uppers for AR-15 in 5.45 or Norinco rifles chambered for that caliber.

I'd take a CZ-527 carbine in 5.45 and a couple crates of surplus ammo as my designated coyote/gopher gun in a New York second, credit card damage be d@mned.

Anybody heard more about our upcoming bolt action AK? (Yes THAT one. Rumour had it out for classification last?). IIRC there was some talk of it being chambered in 5.45...could be a viable option if bulk surplus starts to appear en masse. Especially if the 20 or 30 round magazines get the go ahead...
What price? Birch and or laminate stock?
