Default Military rifles etc.

Hi there,
I would love to start collecting WW1 & WW2,Korea and Vietnam war rifles etc,
I live in Southern Alberta and know of no stores or gun shops that stock,trade (advertise)or sell these military collectables.
Are there any locations out there,lets say Red deer to the border.
Hope you can help.
TM.

Google "budhaynesgunauctions"

From time to time they have gun auctions, most often estate sales for gun collectors who have passed on.

You will pay top dollar for some guns and get others at a bargain price. There is GST and a buyers premium added your winning bid.

There are GUN SHOWS from time to time around the province and again you can pay too much or just what you want to pay.

Unfortunately many more modern military guns are now prohibited and you will not be able to acquire them.

Proline Shooters in Calgary usually has a rack with a dozen or so on it, and last time I was there I figured the prices all looked fair.

The classifieds monthly paper discussed in the linked thread will have a lot of what you're looking for. Its got vendors Canada wide, so if you don't find what you want locally, you can at least probably find it nationwide.
