If someone is stupid enough to buy this with out doing any research on pricing before hand, they deserve it.

u/theservman on 15h ago

Honestly honey, I'm trying to sell it!

u/iatekane 15h ago

Exactly, nobody is actually paying this absurd prices and people getting bent out of shape over is is so silly 🤪

u/567432Gains 16h ago

I’d pay $1200 which some people would say is already overpriced. $3300??? This dudes nuts.

u/SirKickBan 16h ago

People are going to go absolutely nuts if the supreme court invalidates the OICs.

There are going to be a million Gunposts from people trying to sell off those now un-banned guns "Before the Libs ban them through Parliament", and the prices are going to be insane because regular online retailers won't have those models in stock for months to provide some kind of reasonable competition.

because regular online retailers won't have those models in stock for months to provide some kind of reasonable competition.

Oh, guns can get imported quick if needed... The reasons that's often not the case is Canada needed 18.6" barrels to be NR, which means special production runs. If AR's are back on the menu and restricted, we could get 16" ones very quickly.

u/dgod40 14h ago

I'm not sure what self abusive lunatic wants to go down the restricted lane anymore. The fact that ARs were restricted in the first place is absolute nonsense

u/SpectreBallistics Spectre Ballistics International (Verified) 14h ago

If we somehow against all odds win the supreme court case, ARs would be restricted.

Having run ARs in 3 gun matches, a 14" AR is way better than a 18.6" one. Worth going restricted in that case.

u/DarkFar5348 10h ago

You’re not hopeful?

u/SpectreBallistics Spectre Ballistics International (Verified) 10h ago

Nope.

u/Clover_Lawn_4440 11h ago

They weren't always restricted, check your history books. I'm old enough to have hunted Coyotes with an SP1, the original civilian Colt AR-15 model, introduced in 1964

3

u/dgod40 10h ago

I know they weren't always restricted. That's the issue. The government slowly changed the rules until they came for the guns and the people with the restricted guns were on the bullseye list.

u/Clover_Lawn_4440 10h ago

The governments of the day have been slowly banning guns since the 30's

u/PteSoupSandwich The 10/22 Dude 12h ago

Ruger Mini 14 ;)

But I bet the price for one once it crosses the border would be fucking ridiculous now

1

u/SirKickBan 14h ago

Interesting! I'd been told there was a 2-3 month delay on imports generally just due to the border, but I appreciate getting a more accurate picture from someone with experience.

2

u/TheBulletBuddy 14h ago

Is that how we think its going to play out? Invalidated oic, followed by new legislation prohibiting the ones fresh out of oic jail?

I was almost thinking that if the OIC got invalidated, maybe the government would use that as an "out" of the mess they've made with this BS.

Sorta like saying them saying "well mom(court) said i couldnt ban these and she has more say than me"

3

u/dgod40 14h ago

No one really knows but I think they will drop the bans of the courts side with us. It's too bad about the handgun situation though. It's unfortunate the community wasn't able to push back enough to stop that nonsense

3

u/SirKickBan 14h ago

I don't think that's how it's going to go, myself (I suspect they'll start having debates on what the correct way to proceed is, which will eventually lead to the formation of a committee, and they'll come back with policy recommendations in two to three years), but I think that a lot of canadian gun owners will think it's going to play that way, enough so that people will try and profit off of the paranoia.

3

u/TheBulletBuddy 14h ago

Yeah i understand your view for sure.

Im just hoping that the goverment who seems to be very slowly acknowledging that this program has failed, might use the court decision as a scape goat to just wash their hands of this.

Unfortunately hopeful thinking doesn't usually play out in reality these days.

u/BritBuc-1 12h ago

Priced to not-sell, aka “I’m in trouble with the wife, but over my cold dead body am I parting with this baby”

u/ThePoeticJester 15h ago

HAHAHAHAHAHA

u/MourningWood1942 15h ago

It is expensive but also factor in a stock SKS goes for about $1000 these days which is also expensive

u/prime-ate 14h ago

**I know what I got **

u/KorporalKarnage 13h ago

I think he forgot to use quotation marks instead of asterix's around the Super Rare.

I prefer my kodiak medium rare...

u/Cope180-Enjoyer 12h ago

Shitty scope and mounts make me cringe. They aren't even trying to hide the bullshit.

2

u/starw24-ps4 15h ago

It was originally posted for $3500! The most I ever saw one sold for was 2000 and that was a lot

u/adrenalineJ92 15h ago

This is ridiculous!

u/One_Salary_9068 15h ago

Very nice, good price too 👌🏼

u/Wrong_Parking7416 14h ago

I remember selling this to a guy for 700 back in the day

1

u/No-Contribution-6150 13h ago

I sold one for like 1500? About a year ago lol

1

u/DougMacRay617 10h ago

The levels of retardation from both the seller and buyer (if anyone does) are so astronomical that they should date because they would be the perfect match for one another

u/MrBoredgamer Have too many Double Barrels 7h ago

Had 1, sold it, its terrible.

Shakes itself loose as you shoot it affecting your zero.

Extremely heavy, 14.5 lbs of rifle more than most "battle" rifles

Ammo is no longer cheap

I had 1 of these with 5 mags, if it made its way to Quebec from BC its travelled the country being sold from fool to fool for increasing prices.

TLDR Lmao

u/GreenCactus223 6h ago

But it says super rare.

u/Green_Specialist_535 5h ago

Yall are laughing, and trust me I am too, but Someone is going to buy this 100%. If not for 3k then 2k. Guy will make his money back

u/AlternativeSharp3854 15h ago

I thought these were prohibited

u/iatekane 14h ago

This is just a SKS in a chassis

3

u/Borealbound 13h ago

Possibly one of the worst chassis at least so far as clunkiness goes. 

Granted I have a bias having worked on modding SKS’s for the Pearce ILS back in the day.
