2600. for a .50 cal seems plain ridiculous, some of them sell for well over 8 grand.

$1337 for a stripped M&P15 lower puts a good down payment on a 3d printer….

I suspect that they will give you the $1337 if it is registered as a lower receiver. I remember paying as little as $75 for a stripped lower, can't remember what company....there are estimated to be 500 companies manufacturing AR-15's now.

Depends on the ar. I paid 800usd for mine after some research and have been very happy with my RRA granted I did upgrade the bolt and drop a match grade barn it trigger in only because I built an ar then sold it and didn’t want to sell those parts so I swapped out the trigger and bcg. I’ve used S&W 15s for work and those were all around 650-750$. Of course all USD. Get into some of the higher end Daniel Defense, La Rue, LWRC etc.. and prices can climb. One thing to remember is there’s only about 5 or so foundries that forge receivers as evidenced by the forging mark on the piece. There is a difference between cast forged and billet receivers. I’d love to build another AR as they are so easy to customize and put together. (Honestly I’d probably never buy a factory one again knowing what I know now on them). For me even with the price difference is come out ahead of the govt gave me 1337$ or whatever was mentioned.

HA more than that. Had a buddy buy a m107 Barret and that was just shy of 12000 USD. Impractical but fun to shoot. Cant say as I’ve ever heard of one being used in a civilian crime but that obviously doesn’t matter to the powers that be. They sound and look scary so it gets the axe…

Iam of the opinion that any lawful gun owner that voluntarily surrenders legally aquired guns in exchange for cash to the government, regardless of financial gain or loss, deserves too lose all their guns.

Then there is the guy with a 400K H&H in 600 or 700 NE. Going to be out hundreds of thousands on a single firearm.

More non -compliance that way

MAKE them show up to take them.

All the Liberals prove with a buy back is that you can be bought.

i agree , can't get the useless RCMP to show up for anything around here , but they always have time for traffic stops . We don't really have police in Canada anymore so i think confiscation might take awhile .

The first AR I ever bought was a Colt M4, it cost about $1500usd from IRG.

Yeah I got a $600 PSA, an NEA pistol lower, I'd rather keep my paperweights than have the govt give me anything just to tax me extra later.

Still wish I bought a Lynx 50bmg... sure missed the train.

So what does the RCMP consider a firearm with a 20 mm bore? Gonna be a lot of black powder 1 inch bore rifles with 2x4 stocks turned in

That’s brilliant!!! I’m gonna go manufacture myself some extra cash. 😂😂😂

I think a matchlock or wick lock should be simple.

[fordtruckin]

Make sure it can take one of those “high capacity bullet holders” to seal the deal lol

[Savage Bacon]

I'll have to get a wood burning kit so I can start serial numbering 2x4s. Or maybe a label maker would be better.

If there is a market for this I want to get in early. For $100 I'll duplicate scary rifles out of wood and plastic conduit. I would even paint them "scary black"

I can just imagine how proud our clown minister will be. On the front page smiling with a big pile of scary weapons that every law abiding citizen willfully turned in. I don't think they'd know the difference.

Sorry just thinking out loud.

And that's the rub. The term lawful or law abiding gun owner is used by the pro firearms organizations and amongst ourselves. No matter that the laws keep changing. The laws are moving goalposts that move past persons who were law abiding gun owners one day, and the next not so much. And no pro firearms group etc can really advocate for them once it happens. Great system if you are govt or anti gun. Keep shrinking the pool of lawful gun owners by ratcheting regulations up, and criminalizing Canadians needlessly.
Don't participate in the buyback by the deadline if it applies, and Canadians will be criminalized. And it doesn't apply to everyone. Just non status Canadians.
