SA Black Special @ Italian (Vancouver)

I hate to say it but its outrageous prices like this that force buyers like myself to look to Chinese made copies rather than no gun at all.

they were coming in brand spankin new last may at 2800. No way did our dollar drop 25% in value.

Italian sporting goods always seems to over charge. I was looking around for a USC the other day, and they had one in stock... at $2450!!! Wolverine supplies quoted me a price of $2100.. they didn't have any in stock though.

I scored my black special at Elwood Epps for $2500 back in Nov.. Mint condition with only 350 rounds through it. The poor guy that owned it last went broke and had to sell it.

Hey, I was going to buy that one.... I got pics emailed, but waited too long.
 
More importantly, is TSE still going to stock replacement parts and accessories??? I hope so! Mine even has TSE written on the damn thing!
 
R. Nichols either doesnt import stuff. or overcharges. Its how they run a business. Ever wonder why there are almost no FN firearms being imported? Thats them too. They are the worst dealer and they have the most sole rights to import various guns into Canada. All they care about are government contracts.

I find it funny how the price went up 15%.
Did the Euro go up 15%? No.
Were these rifles built and shipped for free and they were paid for when they got here? Not likely. Most likely paid for last year.

Grab the Lub and Bend over...it is just beginning.

They are paid for in CHF and yes the CHF has gone up more than 15% over the year.
 
Great. Here's a prediction for y'all:

R. Nichols will sell their Swiss rifles to PD's and the government. We will probably see no more civilian sales of the "classic" series rifles. I predict the used pricing to steadily increase in the EE until the LIEberals manage to ban them someday.

TSE/Redleg: can you guys still get stuff like mags? Or will I have to try to (probably unsuccessfully) source some from R. Nicholls?

R. Nichols (also known as FN Sports) is not a regular dealer but a distributor/ wholsaler that sells direct to dealers and govt. agencies. Phil.

FN Sports is absolutely not related to "FN Herstal". If it's what you meant.
