@garonedin CMP garand? Nice. What condition? When I start my new job I want to get one in service grade condition
Yeah, Service Grade.
Cool
CMP sells M1911s too but they cost more than the garands and from what i've heard have had spotty condition
Best part is; I can in theory get it and just start shooting
because I got like... 200 rounds of Ethiopian Surplus fuddy aught six on en bloc clips
It came on the clips?
yes
in bandolier belts
in an m1 ammo can
all
Very nice
for roughly $200
Oof
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
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
Ah he must have a restricted license
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
