    If those Garands can go stateside, the majority will. Dealers are smarter these days. Outfits like Marstar will retain only enough units in Canadaicon to keep the prices over $500ea. and trickel them out over the next few years. The remainder would go to CAI or Inter-Ord in the US to be sold fast and cheap.

    Sad but true.

    If any more than 1000 or so Garands come to Canada, I predict the prices would rapidly drop to the $300 range in the short term as supply would exceed demand. Remember, the number of M1icon enthusiasts in Canada who have both money and an acquisition license is likely not as high as most people think, especially since most people who want one already have a nice example or two from the imports a few years back.

    For the record, Garands (if they are really coming) are not the only popular milsurp semis coming into Canada in the near future. But I can't say much more - sorry

    Given the use of "popular" and "semi" it narrows down your teaser to a few choices, doesn't it? I certainly don't expect you're refering to a container load of Ljungman's.

    M1icon carbine or some euro SKS? not many choices really.

    Nah, wasn't thinking of either of those.
