mak 90s are prohib they are ak47s. My point was to compare what they list for on gunbroker. the valemts are similarly expensive in the us so its not a just a canadian NR thing but that does increase the price
Ok,
let's all get off our collective high horses...
I want to see how much everyone would personally pay for a .223, .308, x39 valmet? We pretty much all know 9+k is high, but let's see those numbers!
My cap would be 2000$ for an M88, and 2500$ for M78 models. (.223, .308 - don't care for x39 or 30-06).
Edit: added caveats to these prices: These include the fact that these guns are prescribed as non-prohibited and aren't being made anymore.

There was a time id pay 3k for a clean, non worn out Valmet in .308, just so i could make a PSL clone.
But life has put forth unexpected expenses that must be dealt with first
No more than $3200cad for a .308/5.56 (what i paid for one off gunbroker for a .308 one) and maybe 4-5k for an x39 one based off of prices I've seen on the EE over the last year and a bit when they rarely show up.
Couldn't justify spending any more than that when they consistently show up at that price on American gun sites
Indeed... If more people used gunbroker thru irg/pr/etc, we'd see more of these north of the border (and likely cheaper)... the "250$" import fee isnt too bad for something you really like/want in the USA.
If AK's weren't prohib and the valmets were "just another AK", then I'd agree with your price... but alas, they are not.

oh, nice... probably cheaper than anything on the EE/Canada right now though

Because Valmet (specifically M78 and Hunter) is name exempt by OIC. Make a copy anywhere but Finland, Valmet factory and it is and AK, a prohibited firearm.
IF they decide that Valmets in Canada are no longer predominantly owned by indigenous sustenance hunters, they can ban it again by OIC. IF. Not likely but possible.
Yep even the one on gunbroker which looks a little nicer than mine is cheaper than what a fellow cgner i bought mags off of paid for his .308 a few years back, even after conversion and importation that would only run someone about $4600 cad all said and done
Much cheaper than prices up here
There was only a small number of these rifles brought into the country by one importer Stoeger Canada Whitby. Most of these rifles ended up in the far North used by Native Canadians for sustenance hunting and that’s the reason they did not get re classed as restricted as they stood up and fought to keep them non restricted. This is from the owner of Stoeger Canada that I spoke to in his office once when I ordered spare magazines for a M78 hunter in 30-06 I had. Very nice accurate rife with open sights. —-Dieseldog!
I did also notice that my 308 with open sights was a lot more accurate than what I was expecting!
Yes - FNU LNU guy, show us your hand.
