Derya Tm22 A-12

Got out to the pits again, I have to say that so far, im very impressed with the homesteader. Using a mix of on sale 9mm from basspro but mainly pmc bronze 115 and 124 grain. Using oem glock mags.

Im a little over 1k rounds and not a single fail to feed, fail to fire or extract. Its been a solid 9.5/10 experience so far.

Only issue over had is a small set screw for holding the rear peep hole sight fell out, Henry shipped me a new one within 3 hours of emailing them. No cost and expedited shipping.

Add in the Neuman metalworks handguard that I tossed on last night, and its a blast. If you're on the fence about getting one, get it. Its a ton of fun to shoot.

Bottom to top:
- Bastardized late Yugo chromed
- Early Yugo no night sights
- Late Yugo with all the goodies

Working on a grenade that can launch next

In a bit of a unique situation, I ended up with two of these guns, which allowed me to compare them. And wow are there quality control differences.

I actually think this would be an incredible design, if they put more money into QC and materials. Make this a $500-600 gun with aluminum receivers and it would likely be a lot better.

Possibly dumb question. I just bought a new .22 and I was doing my first cleaning before I was going to head to the range tomorrow. Follower wasn’t coming out while I was stripping the rifle so I had to poke around a couple other spots to get it out. I needed up messing up the trigger spring and the whole trigger assembly came flying apart and landed everywhere. I’ve managed to find all but one part, the pin that keeps spring tension on the trigger to fire.

Is it better to get in touch with the manufacturer or a gunsmith for a replacement part? I’ve never really had to go to either for any issues so I’m not sure if the manufacturer will handle something like that or tell me to kick rocks. I also don’t really want to have to worry about shipping, but I also don’t want a to have to pay the free for being stupid at the gunshot replace a pin on a never been fired rifle.

Gun names insert here xD But 1 full year of my pal.

shout to True North Arms for the excellent customer service and Rob for the machining

just waiting on picatinny rail over the action and red dot

2 months with a PAL

There are still a few places to get out to try a pistol. These are a few I got the pleasure to try out today.

Long shot, but I figure I would post up here and try to get some momentum behind getting the Rossi 7122M Delta in Canada by making a dedicated post. It already has an NR classification on the FRT and would be a small but nice change from all the .22LR semis we have now.

I have already tried to contact North Sylva (via CGN) and Gravel Agency but neither have replied, so I am wondering if anyone out there has contacts or influence that could get the ball rolling on this.

Consumers; Ask your retailers to inquire about these and stir up some interest

Retailers; If you could call in and ask why these haven't been brought in yet as customers are asking for it, it might get some more interest from importers drummed up..

I know there has been a number of comments and posts mentioning these between here and CGN as well as other groups, so let's see if we can't get them here.

Get/make ammo and get out there!

I was scrolling through Reddit earlier and came across a historical post featuring a Boys anti-tank rifle. It got me wondering:
What's the largest caliber rifle you personally own?
And out of curiosity, what's the largest caliber rifle that's currently available on the market?
Looking forward to seeing everyone's answers and maybe a few pictures too.

Cheers

Hey guys! I just bought a Huntshield 24-30 Gun Fully Assembled Cabinet from Canadian Tire.

I took it out of the box and lugged it to the basement with a buddy of mine.

Personally I LOVE IT. But there’s already a problem.

The key will NOT come out of the lock if the door is closed and in the lock position. The key will ONLY come out of the door if the door is OPEN and in the lock position.

Why? I really truly don’t want to waste my time returning it. Also because I preemptively threw out the box…

Please tell me there a solution.

*EDIT: I completely took off the locking cam bolt then reinstalled it and tightened the HELL out of it. Now it opens and closes and locks and unlocks like butter.

Belt is a cheap one from Amazon

The mag pouches are 3d printed, 2 different designs put together. The part that attaches to the belt from one model for a different style of mag, and then the 10/22 mag part from a different model with a smaller belt attachment that didn't fit.

Did my course with just regular mags stock rifle. A little awkward to get the mags out.

So for the first match I added an extended release, and designed some extensions for the mags.

The extensions have a little clip that screws into the extension, and holds onto the little finger divot on the mag, then I also just glued them to the bottom. Much easier to manipulate, and the finger hole makes it pretty nice to pull out of the holder. The extra weight makes them drop nice with the extended release.

Only used them on grass, they held up fine there. I think if you were dropping them on harder surfaces they'll eventually get beat up. I played around with a rubber sleeve over it, probably try them when we move indoors for the winter. Seemed like they help up OK but only tested those in the garage.

Been considering a 590 Retrograde for funsies, but saw the Maverick 88 with two barrels advertised which is cheaper but would fit my use case a bit better.

Is the 88 fairly reliable?

Also, are there any suppliers of wood furniture for the 88?

What is this little lever for ?

What is/are your trusted websites to purchase guns and accessories ?

I was recently watching the Garand Thumb video on the Vang Comp 870 in which he compared it to the 590A1. The results found in his tests were that the 590A1 was actually slightly more accurate both with federal flight control and bad sterling buckshot.

Of course this is one test with 1 gun so results would likely not be the same from person to person, but does anyone actually have experience with the Vang comp?

In the video he mentions the 590s excellent barrel harmonics which is why accuracy difference is negligible. Does anyone know this to be particularly true in their experience?

Bought a SBI 597 magazine adapter for my 10/22 and a few 22rnd pro mags plastic mags, I cannot get the bolt closed with the 22rnd mags, anyone run in to this issue?

A where-to-shoot map and an aggregator.

Have fun!

Guns.Rip

and

GunsOnline.ca

I'm still entering gun ranges and no-shoot zones. I made an automated pin drop feature to edit/add crown sites/ranges and pics on the map.

The aggregator took a long time to train, but still might have the odd listing straggler. I'm making a dedicated CRON box to soft scrape all known sites. I made a built-in FRT checker (why not) so you can get more info on the gun you're looking at. The FRT is checked daily and I posted a searchable page for it. I might be adding pictures to it eventually.

I originally made these sites for myself so keep that in mind if you have "complaints". Suggestions and feedback are welcome!

In my mind there’s three possibilities with supreme court case that impact value of Makasi. If government cancels oics and pre ban firearms are back that would make Makasi a joke. I am a big fan of eastern bloc firearms, so if i can pick up a t81 or svt i wouldnt even ever touch an AR, let alone this thing.

If government loses the case but maintain status quo by neither lifting previous oic nor issuing new oic, makasi could be worth it. If government wins and double down by banning makasi then you just bought yourself a 2700 dollar toy.

Probably better to hold money before scc decision comes out.

Part of my shotgun collection: the Remington family tree. Every pump-action that Remington made up to the legendary 870.

From top down:

-Model 10

-Model 17 (only ever offered in 20 gauge)

-Model 29

-Model 31

-Model 870

I know little about shotguns but have been thinking of making what is basically my Homesteader adapter but for the Mossberg Shockwave (and fits Mossberg Mavericks and 500s? I believe the rears are the same), but was wondering if there would be any interest in one.

I believe a folding stock is not possible on the current Shockwave offerings we currently have because they do not meet OAL requirements, correct? So this would be a custom piece that would fit OAL while folded.

Just asking if this is a niche that needs to be filled, as I'm not very informed about what options we have here.
