That's actually fairly good for non-corrosive surplus, plus clips, plus ammo can
M1 garands are expensive to feed, when i get mine i probably wont shoot it much but it's a good collector piece
You also have to get garand safe ammo or an adjustable gas plug for modern loads
But yours is surplus so it should be safe
yeah, loaded to m2 ball specs
the next purchase is kinda a toss up between a ported gas plug or a slant flash can for my AR-15 to make it look like a las-gun
I got into guns recently so i'm trying to build up my collection, get milsurp, "assault weapons", and "high capacity" magazines first
The status of milsurp in this country sucks, damn import laws
yeah.
I kinda got my collection mostly filled out. Couple of ARs, Beginner Rifles, a couple of Milsurps
Canadians can get russian SKSes for $300 cad and buy norinco guns, russian SKSes in the US are $600-700
THough now that I think about
I lack Auto-loading shotguns, any handguns, any precision rifles, any pistol caliber carbines
yeah
Canadians get all the fun surplus russian stuff now
Canada has great import laws, unfortunately limited to 5 round mags on semi auto rifles though
at least for cheap
yeah, though I think m1 garands are an exception
because canadian designed
I have a budget ar, a t/cr22(10/22 clone), and a mosin nagant carbine(m38)
The mosin is my favorite gun i've shot, and i've tried out a lot of other people's guns
I know my canadian friend has a C1A1 (FAL) somewhere in Alberta I believe
Shitty thing about canada right now is that there's a push there to ban handguns and "assault weapons" after some guy went on a mass shooting and killed 5 people with an illegally smuggled handgun from the US
What's the Canadian NFA really up to these days?
NFA?
I know they're not as well known as the NRA
National Firearm Association I believe
Ah
I don't follow them down to that level so i'm not sure
it gets confusing talking about Canadian NFA because it's easy to confuse with the National Firearms Act in the US
Yeah lol
The only thing I remember was they survived a hostile takeover and were becoming more Right to Bear Armsy
Nice, i hope that happens to the NRA in the near future
We have GOA for that but NRA has a lot more members
When i start my new job i'm going to join the GOA, SAF, and VCDL(virginia gun rights org)
Yeah, I've joined ISRA (Illinois State Rifle Association) partially to fund the fight in IL, but also to get access to M1's.
it's...
It's not going well
How so
In virginia we have good gun laws but the governor is anti gun and the state legislature is only 51R to 49D
As much as our R-governor, Rauner, stalled the gun laws, he let some of them through.
And now the Legislature AND the governor is turning hard blue
We also have state preemption so even though i live in the more liberal northern VA i get to enjoy the same laws as the rest of the state
like
AWB by February kinda blue.
Damn
