PI Gun Show

Horge, thanks for the information. I am a U.S. citizen working in Hong Kong. Even an airgun is very very difficult to obtain. I am surprised there are few old U.S. military surplus rifles ( semi-auto ) for sale, or am I wrong ?

Thanks, Dave
 
Hi Dave,

Our surplus M14's, M3's, M1's were originally U.S. EDA, and more importantly,
are Philippine Government property. We don't have those military disposal sales
the U.S. enjoys from time to time --heck, mothballed M3's are being reissued
to our equipment-strapped Marines: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=95093

Generally, the public sale of Philippine government firearms is against the law.
That's why crates of WW2 1911's, Thompsons and such are rotting away
in .gov warehouses over here -- we've no money to recondition them, and
no legal way to liquidate 'em.

That said, there's brisk blackmarket trafficking in M16's and other 'modern'
firearms. Rebels overrun a military camp, and sell off the booty, or a number of
corrupt REMF's sell US-donated arms --sometimes even to rebels (Communists
or Islamofascists) -- for profit, claiming the arms were stolen by said rebels.

:banghead:
 
Could someone help, Can someone tell me where some gun ranges in Cebu or Manilla is? Ones that i can fire automatic's preferably. Locations + Prices.
Thanks i couldn't find any on google.
 
Look up ASRI (Armscor Shooting Ranges Inc.)

The open air range at their manufacturing plant (Marikina) is sometimes
deafening due to maniacs cranking up their Steyr AUG's, M14's, and yes...
the ubiquitous M4's.* I do not know if those are rentals or if those are
user-owned.... so, best to give API in Nevada a call to see if they know.
Armscor also has a facility in Cebu, but I don't know if its pistol-only or what.

In downtown Manila, there's the (indoor) MPSA:
"Fields & Forest" 231 Muelle de Binondo, Dasmariñas Street, Binondo
244-6514, 243-2465, 245-4587, 244-4897 (fax)
Try giving them a call: I hear they have all kinds of exotics there.

Most ranges are membership-based, but walk-ins (where allowed) can
pay a range usage fee of about US$20. Pistol rentals about US$10 an hour,
and ammo around 10c round (range reloads or 'corkage').

hth.

*Can't stand it when someone shows up with an Ultimax or an FN Minimi.
I see that, I'm off to another, quieter range.
 
thanks i just want to compare prices SRP. i guess mine was a better deal for only 49K not much of a choice here anyway in the southern part.
 
How have you been Horge? Can you PM me your contact number. Maybe we can do range time when I am there (Manila or Nueva Ecija). Am usually home harvest time between Feb-March and Oct-Nov. Also, do you know what it takes, how much you will spend, or can I do "do it yourself PTC application"? I find its not worth it for me to pay a gun store or local club to assist in applying PTC yearly since the most I am there is one to two months a year. Group PPT to transport my firearms to ranges and competition applied by our local club and PPSA is what I usually rely on. But it would be nice to have a PTC when I am home.:)
 
Hi Python,
I'm fine, but swamped with work for the next 18 months.

They've tightened on PTC's (national CCW permits) The application process
takes qite awhile longer to clear, and so applying might not benefit you in
time, given that you stay only a couple of months at a time. Receipted fees
run to about 6k. Additional expenses for afffidavits and other requisite
paperwork can push your cost up to nearly 16k or more.

:)

is there another gun show in Manila during December, as i will miss the one this month, i am in the market to find a good 45.
 
Thread necromancy!

Is handloading legal in the Philippines? Should I send a LEE reloading kit over in the next Balikbayan box? The equipment, brass, and bullets shouldn't be a problem, but the primers and powder probably aren't allowed on planes. Are primers and powder available in the Philippines? Is most of the ammunition sold in the PI of the Boxer primed variety?
 
Handloading need to have a permit, reloading machine need to have license. All materials are available and gun store will sell if you have all the documents.
