The numbers of SKS rifles in Canada

[bobdbldr]

With SKS you have a chance in a life time to buy a military semiauto with price of a cheap wallmart low quality bb gun. Was never before and will never be in the future to buy a brand new military semiauto for the price of a day and a half work paid (160). So take the chance, one day will dry up, rusian are seling allready by the year 1954, this is the last year of manufacturing.

The last year was 1956 for Russian but other countries made many more, especially China, Not sure but I thought someone on cgn said they stopped making them in the 90's?? Anyone know for sure?

I have six. These things have been coming into the country since the 80's, and have been loved by Canadians since then. Between my eight or so shooting buddies, they probably have 20 of them altogether.

I'd say at least 100,000.

Have 2, looking for another.

I agree, every time I go to the Range a great number of the People I see there have an SKS with them.

I always liked the CZ858 better, but I bought my protest SKS the night they changed the FRT on the CZ.

Russian - bright bolt and bayo. Figure I might as well get the real Russian deal if I'm gonna have one.

I can think of at least 5 of my co workers who own one. 2 of them are older fuddies with not a semi between the two of them except their sks's.

I know a guy with 23. Another with 40+. Private collections.

Bought a case of SKS and a case of ammo from Lever Arms years ago when they had a "family pack" deal

Slang term for a "casual" gun owner; eg; a person who typically only owns guns for hunting or shotgun sports and does not truly believe in the true premise of the second amendment. These people also generally treat owners/users of so called "non sporting" firearms like handguns or semiautomatic rifles with unwarranted scorn or contempt.

When I did an ATIP just before the end of the registry, there were just under 50,000 SKS registered.

Not surprised at that at all... They are cheap decent rifles with cheap ammo. Every pal holder needs at least 1

 

[DJdeadlyDALEK]

No, you need more then just one

 

[Ben from SK]

No, you need more then just one

everyone needs at least one, but it'd be better to have 2... make one 'scary looking' to make the ignorant politicians/gun control people nervous.

I think a healthy dose of SKS is 2-3, but 6 is still a ways off from overdosing
