Is that a pic of the M31 with a 18.75" barrel?
WOW this thread has certainly become interesting.
To answer some of the questions about the rifle, It will be available from the factory with stick mags. Drum mags should be available as an accessory, but we are still working out the details on that.
On the pricing note, we feel that the MSRP on this rifle is very fair compared to US pricing. Please note, that this is a special run in non restricted configuration, and most of the difference in price is having new longer barrels made.
Not to mention that USD pricing doesn't included export costs and international shipping fees.
When we initially spoke with the manufacturer there was nothing in the works for Canada. No guns were coming to Canada period. It took a considerable commitment from North Sylva to have these guns made. No matter what other "importers" say these would have never been available if we hadn't taken the bull by the horns.
This also opens the door for other models, we are also working on getting the PPSH into the Canadian market as well. Like anything however, it will take time.
We will keep everyone updated on the progress, but we are still looking at September delivery.
Thanks,

Definitely interested in the PPSH too, and ready to line up for the Suomi.
The retail price is completely reasonable after you made all the details clear, thanks for "taking the bull the the horns" on this, good work!

Why stop there? Have Christmas every pay cheque! "What's this under the tree? Another firearm for little ol' me??"
OK, TNW sent Marstar packing because of pricing disagreement. Now NS has signed deal for Cdn $700.00 each piece MSRP. Honestly don't believe Cdn $270.00 higher price each unit adds up for shipping, documentation, customs, etc.
Cdn $700.00 is MSRP, how much below that will NS actually sell these for? We shall see.
Gouging?? Just my opinion. Look at consumer products US vs CDN, hence "cross border shopping".

Ummm it looks like they are making new barrels as well, hence they will be non restricted.
Well,
If they are in the US and nonrestricted, it's easier to pickup nonrestricted stuff from across the border now. If you can get it cheaper, I would do that. No sarcasm involved here either folks. When I can't find cheap enough AR parts, I will legally go to the US and order the parts from there. Sometimes even with duty it ends up way cheaper. However, sometimes we are cheaper here. There is afew different exporters in the US. No more #####ing. Go check it out. If they aren't getting it for the price you agree with, check elsewhere. It's the basis of our society. I would like to say, North Sylva has done great things for us here so I mean no disrespect of any kind. Afterall, they did bring us the awsome M&P VTAC's that a few of us really wanted. Thanks for that guys.
This is how free enterprise works. We can moan and complain about the prices all we want and nobody will care, but if we can find it cheaper elsewhere we have done something about it. If there is no competition, than your screwed to pay whatever they want. Lol!

Don't forget that the barrels have to be extended to 18.5 inches to make them non restricted, that's a custom job, costs extra.
Also it's not likely to be a huge initial order, we're lucky that TNW is even bothering to deal a custom order to Sylva. TNW probably wants a few extra bucks to deal with the extra complications of dealing with Sylva's requirements.
We should appreciate that Sylva is putting their money on the line to bring these in, and that if all goes well it'll grease the wheels for the PPSh too.
Don't get all up in arms over the price when that's a generally accepted reality for most guns that come in from the US (check out US Keltec prices), to call it gouging is really unfair to Sylva.
I don't think the barrels are a custom job. TNW is producing longer barrels to avoid the U.S. laws where you have to pay an additional $200 to own the gun from what I've seen. I don't know the entire reason why but the proper length barrel makes it fall into this category of more dangerous guns with extra licensing down there as well.
The guns TNW is selling in the US have 16+ inch replacement barrels to meet US NFA requirements, avoiding SBR status.
The Cdn order would require new, longer barrels. A special run.
They could be sold here with original barrels, as restricted firearms.
