the government should have been more truthful to those in the industry regarding _"ongoing business"_ with respect to the regulations they planned on putting in place despite boldly lying about not having that plan.
Quite the opposite id say, Canadian and European industry will no longer struggle to compete with American offerings. Buy either a Canadian MDT chassis OR a American KRG chassis for 25-35% percent (factoring a sinking CAD exchange rate) more. Americans are essentially axing themselves out of world markets and theyre too stupid to even see it haha
I don’t think this will even last a month. Trudeau is going to implement his 25% tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods this Tuesday. Trump already warned do not retaliate because our idiot politicians are not listening to him by this weekend. US tariffs will be up to 50% at a minimum, I would not be surprised if they are not higher. Our government has no plan and they don’t react fast enough enough. How long do you think a business can last when tariffs get to 50%, 100%, 200% Trump is out to win and Canada is only positioned to lose. Trump’s goal is to make Canada part of the United States how we let that happen is up to us.
Good thing I already spend way too much on Eley and SK ammo. I have some blazer and SV to use up but after that I'll have to stock up on S&B Canadian Match.
Haven't really found anything to rival the Price/Performance of the Federal Auto Match 22LR. But alternatives are available. Aguila of Mexico. S&B of Czech Republic. RWS/Geco/Norma (RUAG) in the EU.
What people forget is that challenger and score do not completely manufacture shotgun shells they assemble them from imported components, so unfortunately, they will absolutely be affected by tariffs. The only stuff that may be safe from major price increases are european shells like Rio, eley, s&b (as long as they are not imported into the US first)
US Tariffs cost US consumers. If Canada refuses to play the dick measuring contest and does NOT "retaliate" with our own tariffs, the cost to us as consumers is NOTHING. It merely makes exports less competitive, which sucks yes, but we can always sell our stuff to others. And even at 25% tariff, our stuff might actually still be a better deal than elsewhere. Does the US want to import tundra natural resources from... where? Russia? Scandinavia with its EU tariffs? We do NOT need to hurt our own consumers by engaging with this out of some ridiculous, childish pride. Let the US make our stuff expensive and let that lower our dollar. Both things make our exports much more competitive elsewhere. Instead of another round of UBI-in-disguise inflationary handouts, invest in oil and LNG pipelines and export terminals on each coast, as well as standing up domestic refining capacity.
Thank you for the helpful information. Ammo was a concern for me but was not aware that the PMC came from Korea. Any suggestions for an alternative to the CCI for 22LR?
US made ammunition and firearms are already expensive because of the low Canadian dollar. But Canada has a lot of non USA sources for firearms and ammunition, and for the most part US tariffs will have a minor impact. Yes, Tariffs will make some ammunition and firearms coming from the US more expensive, but keep in mind shooting is not a poor man’s sport either. Also, if you see how many firearms related goods are coming from the US these days you will notice that throughout the years Canada has sourced many items outside the US. So US tariffs will have a minor impact on firearms and ammunition sourced from the US by Canada, and so it will not be a big deal for the industry. But more of an impact to the Canadian firearms market will be lost Canadian jobs which could shrink demands for firearms related goods in Canada, regardless of the source of these items. This video has pretty much confirmed what I just said anyways.
My question is: will prices come back down after the tariffs are lifted..?? =( I've said it before and I'll keep saying it.. Stack it deep and lock and load..!
I'm in the same boat, but when I started buying/ordering I realized I was ordering either European or Canadian ammo (SK, Norma and Score), but like you said, I'm going to get it anyway, might as well get it now when the price is "normal" in case it goes up.
where do you find Challenger and Score? never heard of it but I will look now. I am kind of snobby and dont look too much at 'off brands', my loss I am sure
So I thought trump is putting tariffs on Canadian imports? So stuff made in Canada if an American company buys it the price gets jacked 25%. But I don’t think he’s gonna tariff American companies like cci and the like. Just trying to encourage American made stuff. Like why would American buy challenger shells when they’re 25% more just buy the Winchester stuff. Am I off base here?
what matters is Canada is under economic attack by USA and the people of Canada need to be united and resist USA intimidation. every USA made product I have ever purchased was poor quality compared to the same product made by other nations. (The USA made rifles and ammunition included in that list.)
No. You're run by a group that wants you dead. This is their intention. It is not the USA waging war, it's the globalists agenda to degrade western countries. The USA is resisting it and Canadians embrace it

Canadian gun industry may have just been handed it's final nail.
Ya we are already down on ammo

Great video Adriel! Sharing.
in the early 90s when I was trucking there were a couple of ammo makers in Vancouver, I remember the one in North Van for sure.
Yeah I broke down and Bought the Mossberg 500 3 barrel because I'm worried about these Tariffs sticking long term.

as others have stated, the only stuff that will be available will have to be direct from CoO to Canada and I doubt any of it currently is

Aguila of Mexico.
S&B of Czech Republic.
RWS/Geco/Norma (RUAG) in the EU.
Aguilla is probably my #2 for price/performance. SK is great but spendy.
Thanks for this ...puts my mind at ease...a little, but unfortunately inflation is still going to happen.
Undoubtedly

Canadian companies will not hold their prices back, and will match American prices, rest assured
This is exactly what will happen.
I've got a closet full of Remington and CCI ammo but it's all for guns I'm no longer allowed to use, so I guess I'm good for now.
I like your optimism about bringing in Glocks. I missed the boat on the new generations.

Chinese own most of our pipelines bud
I bought 2000 rounds last week just incase
Campro stuff is Bosnian I believe
GSG 16 magazines aren’t much use since the GSG 16 is now prohibited…..same with the Hi-Point PCC’s
Where does the gun powder get manufactured in canada? Valleyfield, & noble Ontario. Do we supply the u.s.?
Thanks for your insights.

Aguila .22LR ammo are pretty good.
Cheaper than CCI and perform well.
Can you link the google sheets please?
Theres still lots of guns already in Canada to keep us playing for awhile although prices will go up on everything
Soo--- we not gonna get federal and winchester ammo in canada?
Even if items aren't made in the US they'll still be tariffed if they come into the country by way of the US.
only if they are made in the US no ?
This tariff war is ridiculous! Sit down and hash a deal out!!! This is so childish!!
My question is: will prices come back down after the tariffs are lifted..?? =(
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it.. Stack it deep and lock and load..!
The audio is too low.
A comeback tour for Cooey?!? Hehehe
Already panic buying ammo and components, if it doesn't go up who cares. If it does well then I guess I saved a bunch.

@@BellySyrupit will go up
our shit dollar well be fine
where do you find Challenger and Score? never heard of it but I will look now. I am kind of snobby and dont look too much at 'off brands', my loss I am sure
I find it everywhere. They sell it in the US, they were at Shot Show. Cabela's, Tenda, and all my local gun shops carry one or the other brand.
Just in case I bulked up on 22lr ammo
We're loosing our tools anyway 😂 unless something changes
Some of us lost them all already….. dang hole in the boat😉

trudeaus counter tariffs include firearms stuff brought in from usa
Great
Buy Tikka, easy
I'm refusing to purchase anything made in the US anyway
Good luck
@@Matt-d8m no luck needed bud, just read the box
Only stocking up on ammo in 2025?
I don’t feel bad for you. You waited too long
we cant have guns
what matters is Canada is under economic attack by USA and the people of Canada need to be united and resist USA intimidation.

CamPro Primers by Ginex in Bosnia.
Maybe one day I'll call them "gen-x" properly but they'll have to change their spelling first.
Have u you used them alot? Always thought about trying some.
@St3v30h i use the LRP ones and have had nothing but good. Fits tight in some of my 308 cases but other than that, they go bang every time.
Mdt is moving to the USA and so is Cadex
