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
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
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.
That's not bad at all; it's pretty cheap here in the Midwest in the States too, but none of my friends have anything that fires 7.62x39
I think that in Canada, distributors got some kind of deal from Czech warehouses that were storing an abundance of that ammo
Only gun I have rn is a mini-30.
Want a handgun to go with it.
1911 is great, can't go wrong with that
