Buy recommendations Why are Chinese sks so expensive now?

Post image

I spent $450 in December 2024 for my Chinese sks. My dad just got his pal and I was looking to get one for him and it’s $850 now? What? Why did the price almost double in just over a year?

I think the big problem is when Canadian gun owners make these guns “tacticool” and scary looking to irrational politicians.

Would’ve been different if Pierre won, but he didn’t. Now it’s best to keep a low profile then try to ban more semis

If that's the case then why did they ban traditional wood stock semi auto's

They said because they were military firearms. If you are looking for logic with the bans, it's hard to find lol

Bingo. They’ll ban whatever, but making it tacticool is a justification to them
