I’m not clear on this: do you mean SKS rifles on the list so they can’t be used anymore? Are they officially paperweights, or can they still be used to hunt?
SKS price alert
- Thread starter maifire
- Start date
The Liberals did NOT put it on the list, because they said there are complications. Such as (but apparently not limited to) how many are used by Indigenous people to hunt. They'll announce their decision in February, when the new list of new bans drops.
Nice! Which ones were your favorite/best shooters?
I am a little concerned about this wording in the add:
Perfect for restoration enthusiasts, or a unique challenge, these Surplus SKS Rifles await confident refurbishment skills to bring them anew.
WARNIN
These rifles must undergo significant cleaning to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Purchase indicates understanding that the rifle will require thorough cleaning and/or refurbishment, including: processing the removal of grease and oil, potential surface rust, imperfections to stock, bore, bolt, barrel; and/or other minor repairs.

The nicest one other than the French tickler was a Russian with a laminate stock.
However the best shooters were the Chinese rifles.
I shot a little fork horn with one years ago and it was a one shot kill at 70 yards.
Deer ran downhill about 50-60 yards and piled up.
Doing nothing is worser.Yes write another letter or email. This will give them some virtual @ss-wipe.....
Because writing letters and signing petitions scares the Liberals or other corrupt politicians.
It's a very effective tool......Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
The FTs at Tenda were listed as 'UN-Issued' while the 'standard' Wood handguard ones were listed as "Surplus" and "Issued" The 'Cleaning' warning is because they are full of Cosmoline. The 'and/or refurb' is for the "Issued" ones that may have been fired a bit before going to the armory and sold to N. Am vendors like Cab and Tenda.

Only in store as far as I can see.
Joel - RE the stain inside the stock. I looked at my 1980 FT and there is No 'stain' inside, there is No Varnish in there either. The inside wood looks to be a 'dark' wood with No stain marks, very consistent colouring. Not like a 'birch' or such. The varnish does spill inside on a few spots but seems intentionally Not varnished in there. And I've not seen the 'inside' of an 'Issued' standard one.
