What are the guns you regret NOT buying before the OIC?

Useless or not, I still want them. Look at all of the guys who have owned prohibs they can't use since the '90s... hell, I'd also like a FAL, AUG, G3 and Galil like those guys if I could, even though they'd also be stuck in my safe. If you don't understand it, I can't explain it to you. If the government doesn't want me to have something, that's just another reason I want to own it.

Enuf’ Said! Above^. I also regret not scoring a Swiss Arms , when I could have.
 
I regret nothing, and currently have everything that I wanted pre-OIC. I maintain a sufficient reserve of hobby funds such that I typically just buy what appeals to me at any given time. That way, when something unexpected pops up I have sufficient funds to make the purchase. I can't tell you how many times the guns that I've bought have appreciated in value. That said, all it takes is an idealogically-opposed "Nanny Government" to wipe out all of that accrued value with the stroke of an OIC pen. The ongoing boondoggle has cost me 19 firearms, several of which exceed $5K in purchase value. This makes me angry and vehemently opposed to the ruling Lieberal party.

I actually am relieved I did not buy too many guns banned in OIC. I'm already pooched for two piston AR's, two Swissarm Carbines, and a CZ EVO that I upgraded with parts but never got to shoot before the ban.

I've been watching the news for a long time. The freedom movement is raising it's powerful head and will soon trample the serpent of draconian tyranny if we're patient and play our cards right.

My Prophesy:

Pierre P will win the Conservative leadership race on September 10th 2022. (Only if YOU join the CPC and vote for him)
There will be a federal election in about 17 months in October 2023 and the CPC will win. (Only if YOU vote CPC)

EVERYONE, IF YOU HAVE ANY SENSE ABOUT YOU.....

JOIN THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF CANADA NOW AND VOTE FOR PIERRE P. THEN VOTE CONSERVATIVE AGAIN IN ABOUT 17 MONTHS.

My list, in order

Definitely Stag 10 at the top
XCR-M
The restricted XCR-M I was ogling on the EE for a couple months
Enough quality ARs to fill Mr. Wick's house, garage, and the vault of the Continental
50 (not in the budget anyway, but......)
Swiss arms
All the others that haunt my dreams

sorry not enough for me ... the cpc permitting liberals to run is a big issue.
 
A few for me...

Vz. 58 is my biggest regret, followed by the CZ Scorpion Evo 3, the Sig Sauer MCX/MPX. And I am also annoyed that this basically bans most if not all .50 BMG rifles, which I would have liked owning purely for the fun of it (A GM6 Lynx would have been my dream choice!).

At least this spurred a huge Canadian aftermarket for the WK-180C / AR-180B platform. And I do like the creations of manual-action platforms to help owners re-use their AR-15 parts.

I'll respectfully disagree. Every time someone buys those bolt action AR's, an Angel in heaven dies.

Oh, if you mean I accept these as a "replacement" for the AR-15 then #### no. I just like that I now have a legal, custom-built short-barreled hunting rifle that is lightweight with optics, because there wasn't a market for this kind of product (especially making one with AR-15 parts) before the ban.

Roger that.
 
I wouldn't want any Restricted that were in the OIC.

But I was saving up for an AR-10 and I'd have LOVED a 50 MBG

and a min-14 would have been nice
