imagine what canadians owning guns since the 70s think when they look back at what could have owned or should have bought.

They were gems... I bought them very very cheap... I've moved away from millsurps in my older age but of them all the SKS has a special place in my heart because of my Cosmoline incident.... I rubbed it everywhere in the backseat of a truck inadvertently... I thought it was wet. This was 3 decades ago.
Anyway. If you've never owned and shot one you damn well should.

3 decades ago. That rig was old then. It's dust now.

Clearly you didn’t rub in enough cosmoline then! Otherwise you’d still have it running

u/StalkerRigo Jun 06 '26
i dream of one day, waking up and seeing all this OIC bullshit gone. And norinco is back with a nice catalog.
dreaming is still free and allowed, even though i know its not happening

At the current rate, it won’t be long before the government will have you thrown under the jail for having a positive opinion on firearms.

Man I cry nightly knowing I could have got a 1911.

u/I-LOVE-HENRY-RIFLES Jun 06 '26
A M1911 is my most wanted. I would trade all my current guns for one 1911

Breaks my heart remembering all the Colt and Diemaco stuff Nordic marksman used to have for sale on their site.
Also the Stag-10. Non-restricted AR-10 from a reputable brand for much less than a Crusader garbage rod.
The VZ-58, an AK looking gun that was accurate, reliable and priced just above the Type 81. Even came in a Draco configuration.. I’m getting sad now.

Should have bought a fuckton of cheap Norinco CQ-A's when I had the chance. For the same price of a Makasi I could have had 4 or 5 cheap AR's to keep me warm.

Hk usc was a dud horrible quality control, I was one click away from purchasing it till I did some research. I should of pulled the trigger on everything and anything b&t and I regret never getting a 1911, beretta 92fs or a glock in 10mm, hk 45 usp tactical.

u/epnk420 Jun 06 '26

I honestly think about this couple time a week. I pushed back getting my pal and buy guns to be responsible. Now my CAD aint worth crap and no cool guns.
I cry.

You don't live in reality. Canada is huge. There is no will to enforce especially when people keep to themselves.
When governments push bullshit, it dilutes their authority. Stupid, Trudeau-stinking short sightedness.
I would also bet it all ends in grandfathering anyway even without the SCC getting involved.

Tell me what percentage of the firearms affected by the OIC are restricted firearms vs how many they have added to the lists that are non restricted. I will give you a hint… Na I will just say it. There are more banned non restricted guns then restricted ones.

Give your head a shake. Canada is a big country. For some people, nothing has changed.
And posting that picture here makes me think this account isn't genuine anyway.

My old wishlist haunts my dreams. Why oh why was I so concerned about being responsible when I could have just indulged and had a banger collection, alongside the crippling debt?
