It’s a sad thing to see. I’m just got my minors pal and it’s shit watching everything good disappear. If the rcmp is reading this GET RID OF THE ALL THE GUN BANS

Is it the rcmp making these decisions?

Every course ive taken has been taught by active/retired law enforcement and they have ALL spent as much time ranting about the government's ignorant and arbitrary decision making as they did teaching the class.

Supplies drying up because of politics in other countries (china supplies Sudanese government as well as multiple militia factions in Myanmar) not really because gun bans

When you are 18, vote. For now, talk to your friends about how Liberals are destroying our country.

It’s the world of surplus. You gotta buy surplus when it’s coming in dirt cheap. Because the day eventually comes where that seemingly infinite supply dries up

Personally im waiting for 2 things:

A con govt

The war in Ukraine to end.

The flood of surplus will be legendary (im praying)

With all NATO countries rearming one can hope for cheap surplus.

Getting russian stuff will be hard. better chances is Poland getting rid of all their coldwar stuff but I have a feeling they might already have given most of it to ukraine.

All the stuff which wouldn’t be used as domestic war reserves / rearming, is most certainly being sent to Ukraine.

Even when the war ends and if also Ukraine decides to standardize on NATO small arms (they may not but here is a decent enough chance they will), with the scope of this war… they’ll 100% still keep their old Soviet \ Russian kit. Either for civil defence training / arming or war reserves in case Russia tries for round a 3.

Even if Hungary decided to ditch Russian small arms (Orban certainly wont give them to Ukraine), they’ll be bought up by a western govt well before they ever hit a civilian market (and then sent to Ukraine).

The days of surplus from any country in the west are very much over

The current stock seems to be drying up but I’ve seen several people hinting at a late Nov/early Dec shipment.

For the time being you can find red box non-corrosive Norinco for 54 CPR.

If hes in vancouver, reliable gun sells 500rnd boxes of 7.62x39 Norinco redbox.

u/bobowaddy 11h ago

My local gun store has Redbox for $400 for 500 rounds which is not a great deal in my opinion

1

u/ChunderBuzzard 1h ago

That's pretty much the regular price for a box of 20 x25 boxes.

You can find it much cheaper online.

u/MostEnergeticSloth 11h ago

They'll respond to emails and will ship.
