Whole lotta Tavors for sale.

I'm presently moving a bunch of restricteds that I don't shoot, so as to buy more restricteds. I'm hoping to have as many different types of firearms in case of the ndp prohibiting things and then hopefully getting grandfathered. Unfortunately selling now means I have to sell at what I consider quite low prices.
 
There is no provisions in the firearms act to allow any new prohibited licences. The government will confiscate any new prohibs and our best hope is to seek compensation when it happens
 
As mentioned by someone earlier this is probably just the ebb and flow if the EE. Currently there are alot of TRGs in the precision rifle section. A little while ago there where AIs - two of them at the same time.

Sometimes it happens.

I'm lucky - I was born and raised in AB (mostly Calgary), I'd seen the cycle enough times by the time I was out of High School that I learned an important lesson - f@ck the oilpatch jobs, stay the hell away from it and let them import Wheatheads and Newfies to throw into the meat grinder. So, you know, I'm riding this out in style while a lot of friends... Aren't.

I almost feel guilty about the guns I've picked up on the cheap over the past couple months. Almost. The pattern is so dang regular, that if you're in the patch and not banking cash, it's on you when the carousel stops and everyone has to get off.

There are a lot of people who are still hanging on in the industry who are deluding themselves about how bad it's going to get.

Last year, there were 250 abandoned well heads in the province. Right now, it stands at 750 - and climbing. Those are completed wells that that owners can't even afford to turn on and make pump, to the point where they fold the straw company that owns the well and abandon the land, mineral rights, equipment on the land... Everything.

At first, I was thinking that it was going to be equivalent to the late 90's slump. But with the Notley Commies in power upping corporate taxes and minimum wages and rumbling about "Royalty Review" (read: they're going to jack up the extraction fees through the roof) - this is going to work out to be as bad as the 80's National Energy Program collapse.

The ripple effects are going to be felt across the country.

I love the patch. There are secure jobs that pay well and lots of dead weight that is easy to step over. Even if they cut my pay 25% because of the oil price I am laughing.

Lol, another uninformed gem of a comment.

There were over 600 Tavors registered when the LGR died. Nort Sylva has imported hundreds since them. Try doubling your guess and you'll be a little closer to a correct number.

If I had to guess, I would say even that is low now. Purchases of the Tav has gone through the roof since the fall of the LGR. If I were to put a number on it, I think it would be reasonably conservatively to guess 2-2.5k Tavors in civilian ownership, not just imported. With total imported probably close to 3k.

I honestly think that there are many more than that, I see way more people owning Tavors than T97s and way more happy/proud owners of the Hebrew Hammer than the T97 unsurprisingly.

No one will be grandfathered. Even if they did make a new category for your rifle it would be like my buddy and his FAL, now he can only look at it and never shoot it again. To me that is not acceptable, I don't want a $2000 ornament.
I'm not selling anything though, I think we all need to buy as many as we can afford and encourage everyone we know to get their license and buy firearms. The larger our group is the less likely the politicians will want to pis$ us off by trying to take them away. By selling off our guns we're giving in and letting the anti's win.

I just got my first Tavor, haven't shot it yet but I have shot others. I won't be selling out of fear it may be banned or out of need for cash. If mine goes up for sale it will be because I've decided it isn't for me. I've already got a few non restricted 223's so I definitely don't need another but decided to give the rifle a try since I've already owned most of the other rifles we have access to in Canada.
For me nothing is better than a quality AR and if it was non restricted I'm not sure I'd own any other semi auto rifles.

As for there being a lot for sale? Are there really that many? I've seen a lot of AR's lately, there are a lot of rifles for sale not just Tavor's. People buy, people sell, it hasn't changed much, it comes in waves and if you look for a specific rifle and don't find any just check back in a couple weeks and you'll find a few.
