You fellows up north get some nice rifles, but at the end of the day, I'll take the gunlaws here in good old Kentucky over those just about anywhere else on the planet. I think they have more guns in Yemen than we do here. :lol:
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I saw the title and thought who owns guns in Mexico, besides anyone involved with Fast and Furious. Hope that's not too political. That's a nice little pile to dig through.

The truth of the matter is, he actually could fill those crates with SKS rifles I really think.

Woodbeef is just getting you guys appetites whetted before he unloads the pics. It is a never ending surprise at times what he comes up with.
Lets just put it this way. He owns an awful lot of rifles. A true Preservationist!

That picture is of days gone by here in the States. It's been since 1993 that we had crate after crate of Russian and Chinese SKS's.

Buy 'em up now, Woodbeef. Someday the flow will ebb to a trickle, and your $169 Simonovs will be $4-500 on the secondary market.
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

I remember a gun show scene similar to that where a dealer had brought in crates and opened them up like that and they were selling like hotcakes. They sure weren't Russians though. They were the Yugo 59/66 that we see now days.

Invade Canada? I don't think so, cold enough here as it is :lol: They were refurbed same way as the Mosins and packed in the same sort of crates.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

I'd like to have one of those crates. Any problem finding one up in Canada and having it shipped across the border?

It may require a special pest control treatment of the wood before entering the US. Been lots of problems with wood crossing borders.
