yep, $1000 would likely be the average for a so-so handgun now. $1500 gets you something nicer. Boutique revolvers and 1911’s are anywhere from 2-4K. Luckily I don’t like either of those really.

The secret to ammo is to buy handguns that also use long gun ammo so it will at least be around for a bit. 9mm might be an issue at some point but I bought dies a while back in anticipation of issues and I’m stocked up for cases, powder and projectiles. I have dies for 38spl and .357 mag so that’s covered. .22 is still dirt cheap comparatively.

With how many people are buying up handguns I don't think pistol round demand will go down for awhile unless they specifically block the import/sale.
Also have to remember the recent popularity of PCC (pistol-caliber carbines), lot's of little rifles in 9mm around.
 
Chief stupid and his team have released proposed values for buyback. Higher than I expected, his budget will be grossly inadequate. Spending billions to take guns from legal gun owners seems beyond stupid and will have minimal positive benefit.

really depends what they mean by an AR. Is that for an actual Colt AR-15, or any AR rifle? If only for the legitimate AR15 that is grossly undervalue but if for any AR variant, then that's about right.

Considering it is widely reported in the news and people only have until Aug 28 to comment, it is pretty damned hard to find the actual list. No news article includes a link. It's almost like the gov't wants media grandstanding while hiding the substantive content of their actions.

In some cases yes , some guns do accumulate value , and a few sporting arms are just hard to get, for whatever the Covid supply line reason is .

I just bought a Franchi o/u skeet gun that was $289.00 in the 70s . I paid $700 .

It’s not always the base price, quite a few owners bolt on $$$ worth of boutique add ones then there’s others that buy bespoke parts to assemble into a complete firearm. Then there’s the boutique guns themselves that start at a few grand. The government may have second thoughts once they find out just how many of these things are out there.

When has he ever been discouraged by facts and numbers? He will just push a narrative about greedy gun nuts wanting to destroy our country and double down (probably accept our offer by xxx or they become illegal, we will pay nothing and we will come after you).

He could always just do what he's done everyday since in office and print copious amounts of money. Our tax dollars buying guns and added inflation... win win.
 
The add ones can double the price of a product . Shooting friend just has custom grips made for his cowboy ruger six guns . The grips were almost $500 per set . But he has ham hands , they are spectacular carpathian burl with a really cool rope engraving done by a laser so…

I assume that if any guns are sold to the government they will be almost completely stripped. I wouldnt be at all surprised if some people try to turn in upper receiver only for the bounty. Sell the rest of the parts to those who dont plan on participating (or want to decorate their "inactive" gun). Can you sells parts south of the border? I would assume that some parts may be legal and others would get you in trouble but I've never looked into it.

When australia did their gun buyback they had an amnesty for illegal guns too. People were getting $200-500 for metal pipes with duct tape and rubber bands on it. Was such a scam, criminals didn't surrender anything but tax payer paid out the wazoo lol

Issue is though, today, even in Australia where there is no land border with a country full of gun nuts, it's very very easy to get illegal guns, just more expensive.

If chief stupid heads down that road, a 3d printer will be a gold mine. You can even make them scary and black for bonus bucks.

US has very strict export/import laws on firearms and firearm parts.
Also, for ARs its actually the lower receiver only that contains the serial number and is considered the 'firearm'. Not sure how things are now, but prior to the ban you could buy every other part of the gun without a license. Same goes for pistols.

I'm pretty sure since the RCMP have a history of lurking on gun forums they know this will be a thing and will offer lower compensation for receivers only.

The liberals changed that, while the lower reciever of an AR is legally the actual "firearm" they reworded things so a AR upper receiver is also considered prohib now.

Changes to prohibited firearms

The Firearms Act and its regulations set out requirements related to the possession, sale, transfer, storage, display and movement of all firearms in Canada.

Think I'll put the 3d printer at work into overdrive - could probably print a gun-a-day using free downloads.

Any idea which type of gun Trudeau will pay the most for?
 
And there is the other elephant in the room. Japanese prime minister assasinated with a home made gun . 3D printer can make a basic gun . Guns 100 yrs ago were made by clever machinists .
Can a mass shooting be prevented with a ban on scary guns? No . Is it harder to reload an Enfield with a 5 round magazine ? Sure but 300,000 WW2 vets figured out how to do it fast.
The liberals are so far out to lunch there is no lineup at the desert bar.
