Commenters: No links please.

Guns4Cash (G4C) is a pretty solid store. SKSs are at record prices everywhere thanks to the defacto Semi-Auto bans from Trudeau.

As a retailer the only problem with the remaining "new" stock is its all the stuff that was in such bad shape that the only way to sell it was to buba it into an ati stock.

Seriously? That’s the reason we see so many ATI SKS rifles? I always thought there was some hidden demand for them.

Yup lol

650 seems like the lowest they go for on gunpost, even that is way too fucking high. Funny because sks's priced at 650 always have "low price for quick sale" in the desc. I'd buy one for 500 max

Gotta love supply and demand.

Right when I wanted to pick up a Chinese beater for a side project the prices jumped 😢

Haha...me too. I wanted a FT to throw into a Fab defence stock. It's way too much now

Oof I wish. Prices now from the store  are like 750 and up. So 650 is definitely a competitive price.

Is it worth 650 though? Probably. But I have a hard time imagining buying one at 750-800+ 

Seems like better options for the price

If theyre russian in good shape they move super easy at 800 for us on consignment.

What other proven, reliable, 7.62x39 semis exist in Canada?

It's no different to seem Valmets sell for $5-$15k.

And they use to cost around $150...so you'll pay $500 still?

If you can find one on Gunpost sub 750, thats it bud. The prices arent going to plummet. Unless the Liberal Government prohibites it, then its worth nothing.

The prices on gunpost are not the actual price. It's expected that you negotiate a bit.

TBH, I hate the haggling part. I'd rather everyone just went with firm pricing.

Canadian gun Nutz is a good site to check out

About 12 years ago I bought 2 for under 400. I'll never get a deal like that again lol

I should have bought a crate of them.

u/rearg1 Jul 01 '26

Just bought one for 900$ after taxes. French tickler though. Lotta coin but for a centre fire I'd say worth it.

u/Unlucky_Mc Jul 01 '26

The local shop in my town had some Chinese sks. Then the shooting happened and they all sold. Good luck finding one now

u/scottsuplol Jul 01 '26

Marstar has some. Little on the pricey side but honestly it’s pretty fair

u/Strong-Owl-55 Jul 01 '26

Ive seen a few pop up on gunpost for 400$ in the last couple months

2

u/Big_Ladinio Jul 01 '26

400 and im driving there now. Everything I've seen is 700+ on the cheap end

2

u/Strong-Owl-55 Jul 01 '26

There was one that was 400 with 500 rounds of ammo my friend messaged he was 2nd in line but it sold

u/Big_Ladinio Jul 01 '26

I can see why!
