Siiighghhhh

I have a couple of SKSs

But I mostly collect pistols so far

Nice

I want to get a .38 revolver of some kind at some point

Not picky just yet

I've got my eyes set on this relatively cheap .44 special

Charter arms bulldog classic

looks nice.

Kicks like a bitch but apparently pretty good quality

I eventually want to get a Colt Single Action Army

So far I have a Glock 17, Browning Hi Power, M&P 2.0 (.40 Cal), and .45 1911

oh I also have a TT-33

The only rifle I really want is an SMLE of some type
My buddy's uncle has one, got to fire off a bit, best feeling gun I've ever shot

Is there anywhere I can find a well-made 1911 for like less than 700?

I'd love to get an SMLE

@Thomas Well made? Probably not

But the 1911 I bought is a Remington R1, I got it for a little over $900 (Canadian)

Pretty good price

SMLE has got history, good looks, and isn't too expensive to fire if you get one that fires 7.62×51mm NATO

Is it easy to find one in that caliber though?

I thought most of them - at least the surplus - are chambered in .303

I know that some were manufactured that way, and some have been modified to fire more modern rounds
.303 might even be cheaper though

I don't know for sure

I don't know the pricing for .303

In Canada, you can get surplus Soviet SKS rifles from the 1950s for around $200

And 7.62x39 surplus ammo is pretty abundant and cheap

So, I think maybe you could find .303 surplus for cheap if there still is an abundance out there

I just looked it up, here in the US it's under a buck per standard .303 round
So not a problem

The most economical calibers in Canada are 9mm and 7.62x39

9mm is pretty cheap anywhere

Yeah I'd imagine

.22 LR is obviously insanely cheap

lol yeah, of course

That's what we always fired at Boy Scout camp lol

You'd pay a quarter at the Scout Shop for 10 rounds

I have a .22 rifle, and the box of ammo I bought was like $30 for 550 rounds

Yep. Literally a few pennies a round

Good for super-casual can plugging lol

But here, the 7.62x39 is about 28 cents a round in surplus crates, so that's pretty good

Damn. The guy I went to charges like .50 a round for 7.62x39.
