TNW Suomi and PPSH-41

"I'd honestly consider getting one modified with a barrel extension for non restricted status however."

Barrel extensions are NOT accepted in Canada to change the status of a firearm, consult the Act on that one.

Are there any talks at all of a non-restricted barrel length or is the market too small?

You would think the market would be bigger.. who wouldnt want a non restricted one of these?. You can barely own anything nice as is.

If there were only moderate price increases from the American cost of 400 with a Non restricted barrel im sure lots of people would buy but who knows. I would really like to be able to get some parts kits with these.
 
Guestimate of a $400-600 range (US list is...$449, on sale right now for $399) for a restricted 9mm Semi-Auto rifle.

:)

Nice! Looking forward to seeing one in person.

Keep up the good work John!

I'd pay the $1000 + or - a few hundred for a non restricted one.

?? Lay off the booze haha. The rifle itself is only 450 dollars in the US, why would it cost 1000 dollars for a non-restricted one? John already said it would be close to the American price.
 
John are you expecting multiple shipments or is this a one time thing? How long does their export license last?

Thanks
 
I didnt see his mention of the having it similar price, im pretty use to seeing guns go for double anyway so I figured throw in the new manufactured barrels and it'd be around a gran give or take.

Anyway All I know is I want the damn thing, if I could take it in the bush moneys not a big issue for me. I'd much rather pay through the nose for one of these than say a Tavor "bleh!"

I'm sick of the boring borderline lame selection of legal firearms available up here. I love com bloc style firearms but most of the nice ones are prohibited :(. Well come to think of it, basically all the firearms I wish to own I can't... its a real kick in the nuts.

The Suomi is a nice gun for sure but heavyyyy. The barrel on it now is already aftermarket and heavier then the stock one...add a few more inches and it gets even heavier!!!

I love this gun...sure non-restricted is nice but if it means more money (it will!!!) and take longer to get around (probably will!!!) then I would rather have it sooner/cheaper.

I'm a little confused here, multiple shipments ?? we will order as many shipment as required to supply the demand here in Canada....

I'm not certain why the dating of our export license in the US has anything to do with the product ??

For restricted yes I see that now, I don't see the purpose in owning a restricted firearm personally however.

Say the TNW Suomi was classified the same way in the states as it is here. (this is not a political argument). Do you think it would be a popular rifle sales wise? :confused:

I think they would, there are few and far between legal available firearms here in canada that resemble anything like these. Perhaps I am a rarity but I much prefer to own rugged, borderline crude/ugly firearms than others. Perhaps this is why I have such an obssession for AK's.

Bahahahaha - I think he even answered that question a page or two back:p

It must be maddening to be asked the same question several times per thread.


FYI it's because it's deemed some sort of military weapon by the states and some agency there has ruled that they cannot be exported to non-government/LEO groups/commercially.

Is this restricted?;)


I like how everytime a new product is shown, there's a dozen "should have done this" and "why can't you get these" statements. Here it is, this is what it does. No, it isn't one of those, nor are we talking about those. No, I don't know where you can get one of those...
 
I think it's worth the price even still. The Suomi worked very well when it was called upon to get the job done. ;) The pics I have seen of this rifle show a very well constructed hell for stout firearm. Now if we can get that restricted/barrel length gov't bulls**t cleared away, it would be even better.

I have read stories where Finn soldiers fighting in the Winter war found the Suomi great for small game hunting (picking off crows to eat). IIRC they loaded only one or two rounds in the mag and/or used trigger manipulation to fire single shots.

I also heard that Max Manus preferred the short barreled version of the Suomi, and allegedly, when he was parading around with the King Of Norway when the Germans were defeated, he was riding shotgun with a Suomi, instead of a Sten as depicted in the motion picture about him.

Well wasn't that why the 1919s and M2s couldnt be exported anymore? Because the US gov issued an export permit and then after it expired decided they couldn't be exported anymore? And by the first question I just meant that if they continue to sell will there be more shipments but you kind of answered it with your response.
