Feets / Collection / My build My first gun ever is an SKS

Did my duty as a Canadian and bought an SKS as my first gun ever, ended up with a detachable mag because the other ones in stock had too much rust.

Touching on another subject, my PAL application only took 2 weeks to be approved after applying 28 days from the moment of finishing the safety course.

I had a pretty similar experience. Got approved right on the 28th day. Guess they’re moving quickly nowadays. I’ve heard some horror stories from the past 😂

I had the same experience BUT I did include a copy of my ND75(vetran ID)as supporting ID so that may have pushed it a bit
