I think they just want a more modern firearm, though I am not sure why they are sticking with 303 unless the rumours of us having great stockpiles of ammo are true Well, if we show up w/ 500 No 4s on offer, someone might get embarrassed & the truth will out - while we get some decent publicity doing so. |

why would i donate anything to a gov agency? they can go buy their fucking own off gunbroker or a gunshow, or foreign gov..
i SERIOUSLY doubt the world is dry of those rifles, there are shitloads somewhere, and a gov could afford to buy enough for another 100 years for little money im sure. while im on the topic, i would not donate a weapon or ammo to my own gov or agencies. they have plenty, and a damn sight more money than i do. now... if kentucky fielded a state militia, or the kentucky national guard was hard up, and each member was required to provide their own weapons.../ needed weapons.. yes. i would take some young enlistee/ soldier ( that i know somehow) , and donate to him a rifle and a handgun and web gear ammo and mags. but send off a weapon to some nameless gov entity? fuck no. |

Beyond the Canadian .gov throwing away spares it's not an impossible thing for a .gov entity to commission a thousand gun run of these made completely new from billet. They don't want to is the correct answer not that they can't.
That's plenty of receivers and bolts for a decent price. |

LE is a good gun, not one of my favorites, but it served them well and it is past time they were armed with something new. Thankfully, there is now a government in Ottawa that doesn't think guns are bad m'kay and might even pay for replacements, if that age old Canadian stinginess towards anything military doesn't get in the way. So thanks to everybody who was considering donating, but - it's - not - needed. Thanks anyway, OK? Actually, I think Canadians sent guns to England after 1940 too. There was a 30 - 30 in every haystack then, like now. |

Once we have 500 pictures of serial numbers, decent stocks, and bullets in bores, we'll send a Canadian member, hat in hand, to the Rangers. "We understand you're dropping the No. 4, b/c yours are old & worn out, & you can't get parts. We've 500 of 'em in decent shape - here are the pictures.

I have donated to a few of the fundraisers here, but mostly to pet ones. This is frankly a fundraiser (if I even had the rifle being requested) that I would not partake in. A chance to thumb my nose at bureaucrats? Puhleeze! You're just as deluded. The amount of coverage garnered would not even register with anyone who isn't within this very small niche forum. Sure, there are A LOT of members, and a lot of members do good stuff. But compared to the population, it is very small. Plus, which major news agency is going to report on some forum members donating guns to a Canadian group who is quite obscure. I have heard of the Rangers, but maybe it is time to modernize their arsenal a bit. Donating a rifle for nostalgia's sake is just silly. I comprehended what was said on page one, but it became more apparent that the OP was actually serious later on in the thread. When it comes down to it, if each member who pledged a rifle gave one up, I think there would be some merit to your statements. However, I doubt VERY MUCH that anyone would actually box up their curio and relic, take it to the post office and mail it off to the Great White North. We are collectors of guns, not an armory for another country. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We gave a shit load of guns to the Brits during WWII. People donated their hunting rifles and shotguns to arm the home guard or whatever, plus all the gun our government sent them. As I recall those gun all got dumped in The Channel or something after the war.
The Canadians aren't broke. They can buy their troops guns. Indeed. But their procurement rules are screwed up to the point that this is the 2nd time they've put it out for tender. It would be great if the Rangers announce next week they're getting 5000 brand spanking new Colt Diemaco .308" bolt actions. If we end up w/ 500 serial numbered pictures of decent condition No. 4 rifles, whether or not the Rangers ever accept them is not the only gain. The publicity from the mere offer will give ARFCOM and another gun board good press, and may shame the Canadian gov't into speeding up the procurement process for the Rangers - or loosening it so they can buy Rugers, which is what they want. @ worst, we have an interesting serial-numbered photographic survey of good condition No. 4 rifles, and no harm done. |

Our own .mil is constantly putting out RFP's and notices about firearm purchases......most will never actually be purchased. The publicity from the mere offer will give ARFCOM and another gun board good press, Sure it will
You can't even garner respect or good press on the guns boards you've posted this "competition". and may shame the Canadian gov't into speeding up the procurement process for the Rangers Seriously doubtful. |
