Hi Gentlemen

I am looking for contacts in Canada for shops that sell fine guns, high end shotguns (English and Italian) big bores and doubles in Canada.
Seems to be very few and far between online.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also any location, happy to travel for the right place
Thanks
Ian

Put an enquiry out to Angus Morrison, Wild Coast Outfitters, who posts here. He is a double rifle enthusiast and could probably give you some leads.

Treade ex I’ve bought a few doubles (VC’s and Merkel)from them. Good guys to deal with.

Martini gunmakers he’s about the only gunsmith I’d take a double to for smithing work.


If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic. To discourage responsible deserving Canadians from possessing firearms for lawful self-defence and other legitimate purposes is to risk sacrificing them at the altar of political correctness."

In addition to Canuck32's excellent suggestions, you might include Prophet River Firearms in Lloydminster AB. They usually have a decent sample of fine double shotguns, and some good bolt rifles.

Thanks for all the help guys!
I have found a few stashes of good weapons, although they are far from common.

Will let you know what I end up buying, but shopping list is starting to shape up!

This Ian B in Saskatchewan by chance? Smiler

If after an H&H Royal give me a jingle, likely letting mine go priced sharply, have others shotguns and rifles, be worth the chat / email anyhow just for fun. Most of the fine gun game in Canada is peer to peer, the odd dealer gets ahold of something decent on consignment from time to time.
