I'm getting my license as soon as the paperworks is done, and that could be months... So in the meantime I'm planning ahead.

I've always wanted an M1 and I also want to get another bolt action like a Springfield or K98.

What's the best way to acquire such firearms? It does not have to be genuine WWII. I plan to use them for target shooting at the range.


*Yea, I play too many video games. :P

not WWII, but its cold war... and its dirt cheap so you can blast off rounds all day for cheap.

my buddy started his collection with a chinese SKS before buying a russian made one.

as for WW2 era weapons, try gun & antique shows for the real thing or join various gun forums where you can find a lot of private sales or trades.

[StylinRed]

the only replica ww2 guns ive seen are cap guns or airsoft guns

and they aren't cheap in the least.... they go from a few hundred to thousand+ dollars

cant imagine what a working replica would cost


but i guess you could always find some thug and buy a real m1 carbine off of em (seems like a few people have been arrested with an m1)

Everyone is recommending the SKS to me for cheap start. That will definately be part of my consideration.

Thanks for all your recommendations. I want an M1 because it's a semi-auto that you can just blast a couple of rounds off. I want a bolt action because it's something I can take my time with.

And no, you won't see me on the news. Firearms does not = violence/heroics. I plan to shoot targets, I'm not even thinking about hunting.

[StylinRed]

I just found this site and thought about this thread

http://www.marstar.ca/gf-SSD/index.shtm

they sell replica German ww2 automatics (made to be semi-autos; are not classified as prohibited)

quite expensive though

[2damaxmr2]

Get your gun license. Most of the WW2 firearms are quite inexpensive. For example my Mosin nagant 91/30 only cost me 130, M44 150, Kar98k around 500, Lee enfield No4 300, Arisaka type 38 200ish, M1 garand cost a bit more and they tend to go anywhere from 600 to 2k depending on the condition or if it is the sniper version. Btw they will be expensive to shoot, unless you hand load but i am going off topic here.

Yup, buying the firearm is only tip of the iceberg. Ammunition is where you find out that your new hobby of yours isn't as cheap as you thought it would be. I got my license for about a year now, and my first firearm was the SKS. Ammo is somewhat cheap (~$0.18/rd) when compared to .223's (~$0.50/rd).

If you want a WW2 era-type firearm but don't want to hurt the wallet too much from feeding it, the Chinese small arms factory Norinco has a .22LR KKW Trainer clone that is sold for $189 from Marstar.

As for the Lever Arms deal, its a buyers beware. They have various qualities from piss poor to near mint condition firearms. Their customer service is subpar at best and sometimes can be outright rude. Buy there only for the price and nothing else. When you have your license, I can help you pick one from their shelves if you need help picking one (or more :)).

[Vansterdam]

thats it. im gonna try and go for my license in the fall and start off with a m1 garand :)

How much work is there involved with bringing firearms across the border?

Norinco is surprisingly good quality for chinese made i've found

[2damaxmr2]

;6977173']How much work is there involved with bringing firearms across the border?
You could but it will cost ya 250bucks plus tax, and the dealer has to have export license. Not worth your $$ unless the gun is extremely rare.

[Sp0r3]

Well.. They make pretty reliable firearms. However, they are still pretty notorious with their crappy finishing. I have pre-ordered my 14.5" Norinco AR-15 to try them out :)

;6977173']How much work is there involved with bringing firearms across the border?

Not much work is required to import one from the states through a business. As 2damaxmr2 stated, it will cost you around $250-300 plus the cost of the firearm. But don't plan on bringing one across yourself - unless you like prison time and lifetime ban from the states.

[Eternal_SiR]

sks is definately a good start for a new shooting.. cheap, reliable, easy to clean, and best of all.. lots of surplus ammo. I also have a Mauser K98.. awsome gun, easy to clean but ammo isn't cheap. Works out to about $2.50 a round.. but now that i reload my own bullets, its much cheaper.

[2damaxmr2]

On several of the Norinco i have owned. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are short on fund. Many of them are crude compare to the original. Their 1911 is ok but the trigger needs to be tuned. Military spec SKS is decent but it is not made by norinco.

www.frontierfirearms.com

http://www.marstar.ca/index2.shtm

both reputable sites

and http://www.theammosource.com/ for bulk deals and also access to hard to find jhp handgun ammo and softnose 7.62 for the SKS so you can actually hunt with it

[CanadaGoose]

Norinco 1911's have good metalurgy too, the argument is that China has access to cheap labour and cheap tool/dies to be able to afford manufacturing using harder metals compared to domestic model 1911's. Hard to find anyone who hates on Norinco 1911's

[2damaxmr2]

Meh i sold my norc 1911 last year and brought a Kimber to replace it.

[CanadaGoose]

Any major differences aside from trigger and pricetag? :p
