I'd like to know which firearm I could get started with
Something that a beginner could use and maintain and learn about
In that case, do you want a bolt action? Mosin, although they kick hard, especially the carbines. If you want a semi-auto though, SKS is the way to go.
Russian guns are designed for serfs whose life experience before conscription was pulling onions out of the ground or hitting things with a hammer in a factory.
Get a .22 in something
^^
People need to quit suggesting milsurp as a first gun
BUY SKS
don’t actually
I see what you're saying Runes, but both of those guns do fit what he's asking for. Besides, don't Canucks have a limit on the number of weapons they can have?
I am pretty sure with my license there'd be a limit on how many I have
And I am very interested in the bolt action design
Get a .22 then milsurp
Just get a 10/22
@Darn I’d recommend an AR-15 to be honest
Is that the civilian sporting rifle version?
Simple to maintain, parts are everywhere, along with mags and ammo
Yeah
My first gun was a M&P-15 1.0 with no forward assist and with a brass deflector
Thanks for the suggestions guys
In a following note, which of these shops are reputable :
1.) Bass pro shops
2.) Firearms outlet canada
3.) Buds gun shop
These are the shops that are practical for me to visit (along with a few small local stores). What are your opinions on them?
@Darn you have your regular PAL correct? So you’re limited to non-restricted stuff. No limit to how many you acquire as long as you store them properly.
@Wilkie Thank you for pitching in, I assume you're a leaf?
Most dude bros up here will state that the SKS is the quintessential first gun to buy, as they’re cheap as fuck and fun to shoot.
Yep, from Manitoba
And *reliablish*
Alright, I think Darn is in good hands here. We have a few other Leaves on here, @Reichtangle and @GhostPhail are the ones who come to mind immediately.
Enjoy your stay.
But if you’re looking to hunt or do anything practical with it there are better options obviously
Thanks alot for the help guys I really appreciate it
Anytime
I'm just looking to get a few shots off at a range
Yeah. Nothing wrong with a nice non- bubba’d SKS then.
From what I am seeing online the Russian surplus SKS rifles seem to be the cheapest. Is there anything wrong with that?
Know that our laws are absolutely retarded when it comes to things like ARs. One can own an AR easily with an RPAL, the licence that allows one to own a “restricted” firearm, but you can only shoot it at an established range. On the other hand you can get several firearms that are like ARs, like the XCR which are non-restricted for some reason, so you can hunt with them or do whatever..
As far as I know the Russian ones are your best bet, but I’m not an expert on the SKS
ain't it yugo ones that are best?
Yugos aren't chromed.
You **must** clean them after every shooting because of this.
