    Surplus firearms magazine

    Hi Fellow military gun enthusiasts.
    Recently i came across a magazine put out by guns&ammo mag ,
    called surplus firearms I dont know if its a special or its gonna be a regular mag . But it is sure full of sweet military surplus guns . Sadly all of the advertisers of military surplus are in the states . and with US pricing Ie cheap . Its kinda frustrating for us guys in Canadaicon who have to pay throught the nose for them and limmited availability .
    Its full of articlea including one about a cashe of thousands of Martini henrys recently brought from the nepalise royal armoury to the US and can be bought for $500 .if you can find one exoect to pay double that in Canada .
    there are article on Lee Enfields and Garandicon ,Magants ,
    and also military pistols as well . Its cool mag and a great read i would recommend it to anyone .

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I've got the same issue, along with last years.
    I think they only put it out once a year unfortunatly, but it's a good read when it's around.

    It's put out once a year. That mag is one of a series of specialty printings like Deer Hunting Annual, Police & Military Firearms, The Complete Book of 22s, etc. from PRIMEDIA.

    What does it take to have a 1 off imported up there? Also you can rub our noses in it with Chinese SKS' and such

    Good question. If somebody wanted a rifle badly enough up here, he could go through his local gun shop. The prices for this would vary. Mostly, how much of a charge the gun shop here would levy to bring in the rifle.

    Re: gun shop importation charges. I believe Questar charges about $200 ... but then again their market is probably more high end 'black guns' than milsurps. I suppose a collectible M-H might make it a worthwhile proposition.

    :*****: :*****: Well im sure it is a load of grief . and paperwork from both governments and of course theres the mark up from the importer/Agent and so the cost and time would out weigh the benefit of cheaper US shootin irons .
    Im no expert im sure some of the other guys would know far more
    than i

    I'm useing Questar right now to bring up a MN 91/30 Sniper with PE scope, supposedly in excellent condition and matching numbers, they are of course made up rifles, I don't know if the rifle is an original sniper or not. They add exactly $200 + GST to the price, are really decent to deal with and the rifle still comes here cheaper than I can buy one here. Not only that, I don't have to look around for a year to find one. I don't know how long it will take to go through all of the processing, 3-6 months seems to be normal. Badgerdog helped me through the hurdles. bearhunter
