By executive order Obama is banning importation of saiga and AK and izhmash rifles a shotguns. Do our imports come thru the states or direct? There are several Russian guns on my wish list and I fear without the us market ours is to small to keep the flow going
 
As for saigas - they are banned in Canada long before Obama. Same thing for SVDs. Forget it. Is there anything else in your wish list?
 
So does this mean our CSA/CZ rifles will see a surge in popularity down south? Or are there enough other foreign and domestic manufacturers to pick up the slack?

And yes, most of the guns banned will not be Canada compliant anyway, so no big rush for the suppliers to dump all their stock on us as happened with all the steel core ammo, SKS and Mosin Nagants.
 
Sanctions only interfere with long-term credits for Russians stateside, otherwise it's business as usual.
Correction:
No bans on inventory fully paid by July 16. Concern "Kalashnikov" is named specifically, hence Izmash (Baikal brand) might be not importable to the US commercially.

I know we can't have saigas but all izhmash guns are on that list. They make sporting guns. No more baikals going stateside

What do you mean by "all izhmash guns'? Коршун(Korshun)? There's a lot of much better rimfire rifles on the market. Медведь (Medved)? Is not in production currently. What else? Лось(Los)? To avoid at any price if you want to shoot and not to wonder why it isn't shooting. What else?
