I mean are there any milsurp stores that sell any firearma cause whenever i go to a city when i can i go and shop at a store that sells milsurp clothes and i shop there but they dont have any guns so are there any stores that still do that or is it no more? (Im young and dont know if it exists here never heard of it so relax)

It’s been decades since a surplus store in Canada would have had firearms.

There's one in Halifax selling guns right now

That’s cool; are they selling actual milsurps or just commercial stuff?

Noice.

My local CT has a huge gun selection, and reloading supplies as well.

What surplus guns do they sell?

Don't know what's in stock right now. They've always had SKS's and Mosins. Used to have a bunch of eastern European police handguns

Could have. Been some time since I looked at their stock

That’s surprising. I’d have thought the regulatory burden would have killed it. Makes me wonder if Halifax is a unique market and what other rare business situations occur there.

My comment was a little too definitive - although I’d stand by the overall tone. It’s been a very long time since you could wander into a surplus store and not be surprised to see guns, and even longer since you’d be surprised not to.

Edit: some of the comments are showing I really need to get out of Toronto more.

I used to love going here as a kid. I forgot about the place, especially since I moved west. Thanks for posting this out

Their ammo pricing is pretty competitive too. I wish they had better 22LR match selection but most of their per box pricing is within a dollar or two of online vendors. Whenever I stop in I buy a couple boxes of something

Holy fuck, that place is selling duffle for 80 bucks. Ludicrous.
