SKS Imports to the US

[enfield303t]

Yes we do have literally "tons" of SKS's here in Canada but the big thing is ammo is so very cheap and easy to find. I was in a store the other day and his ammo price was at least $60.00/1120 too high and his excuse was the ammo "someday" will not be so easy to find. I agree that eventually and who know's when it will become much more difficult to find surplus ammo at a good price however you can't justify expensive 7.62 X 39 ammo at this time. You in the USA wish you could get a SKS cheap, well we here in Canada wish we could get a AR 15 style gun that was not restricted or prohibited. Anything that looks like a AR such as a S&W 15/22 is restricted and must only be used at a range, makes no sense but then that discussion would take us into politics which is a no no. Right now you can get a very good Russian refurb SKS for slightly over $200.00 and I think alot more are going to be available soon if the "rumour mill" is correct. One strange thing is all of the SKS's here in Canada must have the mag. limited to 5 rounds? Go figure the beaurocrats have never heard of the term quick reload with a stipper clip??? All of you in the USA are so much better off when it comes to gun reg's than us in Canada.. oh yes I keep forgetting how the world " beats on you" for your gun culture...strange how in reality your violent crime rate per 100,000 is less than 1/2 of ours and 1/4 of that in the UK ( according to a stats report I was sent a couple of months ago) ? I guess it is true " a armed society is a polite society"
