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.

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

I have nothing <:virgin:402360028528377868> My dad never liked guns very much

I guess that means you can get your own collection

True <:chad:402359917819985931>

Once I'm out of college and have my own place, definitely going to invest in a firearm or two pretty quick. I think they're fun and I like being able to defend myself if things go south

fellas should i use my financial aid refunds to buy assault weapons

That sounds like a brilliant idea

AHHAHAHAHA THAT FAG Odysseus WAS SHIT TALKING the 762x39 and singing the praises of 556 BUT HE DOESNT OWN ANY GUNS AT ALL AHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>you need firearms to point out an objective fact
