I just bought one of these for my father, he is a soviet-afghan veteran, for $188.69 and it is a beauty! also got 1320 ammo for $204.45... Good bargain!
@supafly00100aa I think you may be confusing those with something else. Soft pointed ammunition is perfectly legal in Canada. You just need a valid PAL or POL.
When supafly says you can't get soft points, I think he is referring to soft points in 7.62x39. There is dirt cheap FMJ ammo in Canada, everywhere... but havent seen hunting ammo in this calibre.
@mattiastomb Really? I see it all the time in the gun shops here. I live in Ontario; where abouts are you? If you are looking for some good soft point stuff (sorry I can't paste links; and yes these sites are Canadian)
frontierfirearms(dot)ca
theammosource(dot)com
Just do a search; each site has plenty of SP 7.62x39. And also some FMJ stuff if you want to go paper target hunting.
@italianguns It can be. What are you hunting and how close would you like to get? The 7.62x39mm round uses the same sized projectile as the 7.62x54r round the mosin nagant fires but it's intended for closer range targets. I personally prefer a bolt action rifle for hunting but that's just me. The 7.62x39 could easily take down a dear, moose or bear if you can aim straight. If you're going after a smaller critter like a rabbit or fox, might want something a tad smaller like a .243 or .223.
@italianguns well not really but it makes it fun, i wouldnt use it going after big bucks or bull moose or nothing but fo does and and cow moose or elk or anything like that yeah. personally id rather use a bow anyway haha lots of fun gotta get close ish
@MrMetalman13 In my country, Italy, there are a lot of hunter that use carbines chambered in 7,62x39r but 70% of all italian hunter use 30-06...........the 7,62x39r can't stop a boar with only 1 shot
@italianguns bet i could with my bow haha i dont hunt with guns except for coyotes and gophers. All the animals ive killed have been with a mathews bow..... and as long as u dont mean dropping the animal instantly ill agree with u. so many ppl are like oh you need a gun or something bigger than what u got, bigger gun or more power drop the animal right there.. well shoot something in the spine head or break its shoulder and yes u can do that bbut i could do that just as easily with my bow.
Yes!! I got one of these today (chinese but hey), it packs way more of a punch than I expected and the sound sent the neighbors dog nuts so I had to stop after only 5 rounds! I'd also strongly advise hearing protection lol, cant wait to sight that puppy in.
@123fukyou awesome. yeah they are loud for sure.. not as loud as my 12 gauge though. they can be surprisingly accurate if they are sighted and you have one with a good barrel. Mine is very accurate but I have read that they are hit and miss and that only some are very accurate. Good luck with your gun
the canadian market just got flooded with these guns, across the country. most of the gun stores in Vancouver, BC sell them for $200. Check Lever Arms on Burrard. The guys working there are not friendly all, but the prices at that place are cheap ($199 for the gun, $350 for the gun w/ 1120 rounds).
don't feel too bad, most hand-guns are a lot cheaper in the states than in Canada. Just different markets... Plus I can't get a concealed carry in Canada =(
I paid $199 Canadian (around $199 U.S. depending on exchange rate).
It doesn't jam (except for when a female friend of mine was shooting and she was taking too much recoil -- this can cause the round to right-angle in the action and get bit by the bolt, but this never happens if you know how to use the gun).

That blows for me, they're all but gone here in the states, damn Chinese gun ban. The average price for one here is 350 for a used Yugo.

it's a great one! the gun and the ammo are cheap to buy. the gun is reliable and powerful. the only big drawback is long-range accuracy.
