Gun and gear reviews Leduc Canadian Tire: fight the good fight!

Post image

Because Canadian Tire is a dealer-franchise, each independent dealer has some sovereignty in how they run their individual retail location's inventory (i.e. how much of a firearms storefront they choose to run). The Leduc, Alberta location is owned by a mining engineer. And in my experience, mining engineers like firearms, hehe

The Leduc Canadian Tire is a wild ride. They have random massive yard statues/decor, huge sports section and they're great gun aisles. In the heyday of the Soviet surplus, I bought Russian capture mausers, legit Mohsin sniper rifles, and crates of ammunition. Some paid partially with Canadian Tire money. 2013, what a time to have a PAL.

I stopped at a gun store in Ukraine and the guy was shaking his head when I asked about surplus guns and accessories.

"We sold them all to you! (Canada)"

I wish I had got my PAL when I turned 18 and caught the Soviet surplus days.
