And if you look, sold out. I new I should have bought one yesterday
Ah..
Apparently... these Nork M14s we've been getting weren't originally meant for the civilian market, they were originally meant to be shipped to the Philippines for some war. The M14s that have been coming in were just stock that never got shipped off to war... and apparently they're out of em now. Interesting.

Yeah, true... but who can really tell when the CFO will get their period and therefore changes the unwritten import rules in his/her province. I don't blame the guy at the store, but rather our clever governments who keep barking up the wrong tree, just because it makes them look like they are solving a problem... but which problem?
We now live in the dark ages of Kanukistani freedom, lol. So hold on to your butt everyone... because the ride might get even bumpier soon.
Going back to the original shipment... I was wondering if it just a matter of time, or if it's possible that it'll never be in our hands. I ask this because I want to buy some 7.62x39 ammo but I don't want to be stuck with a crate but no rifle.

I ordered some from Frontier but it's not to ship until my rifle dose, to avoid such an incident. Give them a call and see if they have any more left, and if they can do the same set up.
I called Leo a couple of nights ago. He doesn't know when to expect the shipment- problem with the magazines not being pinned (yet). He quoted me $250 (still). He does plan to get crates of ammo in as well.

Looks like Frontier has even given up updating on there web site . Still says Inspect on Nov 25 .ship the next week . Haven't herd from them in this thread lately .
YA I KNOW IT"S NOT THERE FAULT , so don't even go there.
Someone has a lot of money tied up in lot of rifles they can't sell .

I placed an order for 2 a couple of days ago (at Frontier) and it was added to the orders list, as I received an email confirmation (from Mr. Marlin).
Had they given up on the SKS issue, I think that the order would've been simply refused with a "Sorry" message, but it was not the case. Everyone here needs to understand that everything in this beautiful post-Liberal country takes time, especially when it comes to firearms imports. However, once these rifles ARE pinned to 5 rounds capacity and are no diffrent from the non-restricted Norincos we have plenty of in this country, the CFO will have no legal reason to refuse them.
So... Relax, have a beer and watch some TV or something. Let the importers do their job. The only diffrence YOU can make is to vote CPC at the next election and hopefully prevent this from happening again, because whining won't change anything.

Unless they are banned there will always be SKS rifles in the EE & at gun shows . But this shipment of old Russian rifles has taken on a life of it's own . I think when they are finally approved & shipped they should come with a numbered letter of provenance. Not documenting there military history , But the history of how they came to Canada . Will increase there collector value 10 fold !
LOL
