The best part of the show was seeing all the MG-42s, -34s, Stens, Brens etc. Unfortunately all were deactivated. 
I saw one prohibited weapon, an Uzi. I didn't ask, but I don't think it was FA. 1000CAD. Prohibs are cheap. There are 2 tiers of deactivated guns here, those which are welded shut (recently deactivated) and those done properly (ie, still able to work the action, pull the trigger etc.) Unfortunately, a lot of firearms which are currently classified prohibited are being deactivated. One guy in Alberta has a waiting list of 3000 to be deactivated. 3000

We can have 10 rounders.
No carry though.
Supposedly the RCMP wants to clamp down on the AR15 pistol magazines.
Standard capacity 10/22 magazines are now prohibited, due to a handful of Chargers.

The fucked up part is that there are so few Chargers up here (I don't remember exactly, but it's well under 10000, maybe even under 1000), relative to the total number of 10/22. RCMP gonna RCMP.

Coolest dewat: MAG-58 14000CAD though.
Least expensive, but "functional": Stens MG-34, -42, Brens etc. are 3000 and up. The ones that aren't totally raped command a premium. |

The coolest product I saw at the show was the i3armory Icon 10/22 and 597 rifle chassis.
It looks a bit like a SCAR or 805 Bren, it's TypeIII anodized, and 100% made in Alberta (even the box it ships in).
Some of it is billet, some is an extrusion. It accepts AR15 stocks and grips. It felt lighter than an SR-22. Price is currently 450CAD, despite production being quite low. I was really surprised at the price, I thought it would cost more. The guy who designed it was there, I spoke with him for about 20 minutes, he seems like a good dude. |

Why is NL so fucking Red/Liberal? The Battle of the Somme and the rest of WW1 took their toll on the male population of NL and that set the island on a course of poverty. A hundred years later, the province is totally reliant on the government. When we lived there, people spoke openly about their plans to work just long enough to qualify for unemployment, which was used to get them through the winter. Heck, the island's abject poverty is the reason it is a province, at all. In 1948, the inhabitants couldn't afford to be self-governing. The islanders voted to join Canada as a way to get themselves out of crushing debt. There was a movement about to join the U.S., but the U.K. wasn't about to have that. |

My family lost many to WW1 and 2 as well. That's why we aren't fans of the British (especially the royal family). It baffles me that Americans think so highly of the royal family. That's very unfortunate that their attitude is like that. IMO, and I'm biased, they'd be better off voting pro-oilsands...oilsands jobs pay much better than welfare. The prairies (especially Alberta) have (or had) tons of well-paying jobs for Maritimers. Voting Liberal results in more Maritimers on welfare. /rant |
