When I asked the guy about it he said "orders from head office after the Moncton shootings"
I hear they stopped selling running shoes for the same reason.

Well, I had an interesting SKS buying experience yesterday at the Garden City CT in Winnipeg. Took forever(over 1/2 hour} to get someone to help and then the gun was put in a large garbage bag and escorted to the cashier, seriously..classy. I did not realize they included none of the usual accessories until I got home, very weird experience, at least it had a bayonet.
Sounds like you got one of the unaware staff helping you. The regular gun nuts there must have been off since it was a STAT. The garbage bag is standard practice there to avoid grandma on Leila from seeing the big bad scary rifle being carried in the parking lot and calling WPS. The accessories, again just unaware salesperson syndrome.Well, I had an interesting SKS buying experience yesterday at the Garden City CT in Winnipeg.

I was into the local CT store the other day and noticed that the bayonets had been removed from all of the 20 or so SKS's they had in the case. When I asked the guy about it he said "orders from head office after the Moncton shootings"Anyone noticed this in other CT's or other gun shops?
J.R. Cox, owner of The Shooting Edge in Calgary, Alta., and Target Sports in Stouffville, Ont. said that the rifle looks like an M305, a knock-off of the M14.
“The M14 is actually a fully-automatic…the civilian version is the M1 or M1A made by Springfield, but the guy who bought the cheap Mossberg isn’t buying a $3000 M1A,” said Cox. “He’s buying the Norinco M305 copy.”
Why the SKS abuse? Didn't the guy have an M305? A CBC article mentioned he had a Mossberg shotgun and an M1A but was pointed out that if he's got a cheap mossberg, he likely has the M305 because he can't afford a Springfield M1A. His M305 didn't even have a bayonet....
I find that a little offensive. I like 870's and I own an M305 but I also own rifles that are $3000-$12000 each. I think that CBC article was intended to criminalize sport shooters that can only "barely afford" to shoot. Elitist mofos. Someone please tell me JR Cox' quote was taken out of context.
Here's the CBC article I am referring to.
I wish Cambodian Tire in the lower mainland sold firearms, I can't remember when the last time I saw anything other than air rifles at the ones in the gvrd.
Here on Vancouver Island in BC my local CT has firearms. I think it is up to each CT franchisee to decide if they wantI wish Cambodian Tire in the lower mainland sold firearms, I can't remember when the last time I saw anything other than air rifles at the ones in the gvrd.
