Gun and gear reviews Canuck Wrangler Jurassic .357 first shots, first thoughts

4 Upvotes

I purchased a Canuck Wrangler Jurassic in .357 Mag. I chose .357 over .44 Mag because I’ve always wanted a firearm in that caliber, I already had a mold for it, it could shoot .38spl which is way more available than .44 special and .357 looked fun and cheap to reload.

I bought a box each of .38 and .357 and the day I got the gun went to a family member’s rural property to try it out.

.38spl American Eagle 158 round nose (all that was available in brass)

Quiet, had virtually no perceived recoil but did not like to cycle in the rifle. The rounds didn’t like to pop back from the mag tube. Had to fiddle around with it and poke the rounds with my knife blade to get them to pop back.

.357 Mag American Eagle 158 semi jacketed flat nose (all that was available in brass)

Love the bang, and the thump. Loaded flawlessly, every time.

I don’t know why the .38s didn’t like to load, it was a pain in the ass to fiddle with them. I’m hoping that some use will break the gun in and they will work in the future.

My 12yo son loves the little carbine, he likes the lever action and if he proves he can hit things with it he’ll take it hunting this fall. From other experiences with cast lead in rifles, powder-coated 158gr hardish cast semi-wadcutters should go the long way through a deer. I will do some penetration testing, and see what they will do vs factory.

Application / Regulation advice C21 exemption in New Brunswick

7 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been seeing a bunch of people posting about getting exemptions for c21 to get 22 pistols. One thing I haven't been able to find is any information for those of us that live in New Brunswick. So does anyone have any information about where to shoot to get the letter out here? Whether it be in NB, NS, or PEI.

Edit: another question, does the letter only allow for a single pistol or can you get more? And does it expire?

Application / Regulation advice Rejected photo

5 Upvotes

I already have a PAL. I applied to upgrade it to a RPAL. The online portal just updated showing they reviewed it last week and to wait for an update. I called them to see how are things going. They told me my photo was rejected and that I would receive a letter related to that.

Has anyone experienced that? How long did it take to receive the letter? It sucks because I have to mail my Photo Guarantor and references, wait a week for them to receive the papers, then wait a week to receive it back, then wait a week for Miramichi to receive it, then wait for them to process things.

Misc GunPost Rant: Whats up with Bob's Used Mags Prices/Ads

114 Upvotes

First off I woke up ealry today and listed a few new items to start off the week

Then here comes The B.U.M and literally bumps up 40 pages of ads

So my new listings are now in page 40 lol

Furthermore when I first started using Gunpost a few years back I messaged him about a mag i needed, I made an offer for 10$ less ( I was over paying at even 10$ off ) and he wrote me a huge reply saying hes doing me a solid by providing Canada gun owners with unobtainable magazines, and then blocks me.

I actually just went thru all 40 pages looking at his mags and his prices are thru the roof, some mags hes selling are available New from major retailers at half off his prices

Morning coffee rant

Have a good week everyone

Misc Why no one is making a new PCC in 22WMR in Canada?

33 Upvotes

Last I checked:

  • 22WMR is not limited by new semi auto design ban.
  • 22WMR is not limited by mag capacity.
  • 22WMR is a hell lot fun to shoot.
  • 22WMR is actually useful in small game hunting.
  • 22WMR PCC will be actually useful in competition.
  • 22WMR is incredible economical to shoot as well.
  • 22WMR can be made in really compact and light form factor for fun and for work (hunting).

So why is no one making new PCCs in that caliber and ammo in Canada?

Hello? MRA? Kodiak? anyone?

Misc sks rant

0 Upvotes

I just need to rant for a second. I bought an SKS with an ATI stock from Bass Pro because it was on sale. I didn’t get a chance to shoot it for about a month. When I finally sat down to clean it, I realized it was missing both the gas piston extension and the spring.

Essentially, I bought a bolt-action SKS.

I emailed Bass Pro customer service, and their response was incredibly disappointing. They told me that next time, I should completely strip the gun down at the retail counter. They basically said, "Too bad, so sad." It really sucks because now I am out almost $1,000, but I guess that’s life. and cant find the parts online

Application / Regulation advice HELP with SFC .22 LR Ontario exemption letter

12 Upvotes

Has anyone in Ontario successfully received an SFC .22 LR handgun exemption letter for Olympic/bullseye shooting?

I’m from Windsor, Ontario, and I’m a member of Windsor Action Pistol Club, which offers a bullseye pistol league.

I’m trying to figure out what proof the SFC actually requires. I’ve found plenty of posts from people in BC and Alberta who were approved, but very little information from Ontario.

I currently have a .22 LR pistol that I’ve legally borrowed for six months, and I plan to use it in the club’s bullseye league. I’m just trying to understand what hoops I need to jump through before I apply.
What documents or evidence did you submit? Did they ask for proof of competition, club membership, training, or anything else?

Any advice or experiences from Ontario would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Shitpost / Memes Marlin Model 336 Appreciation Post

Post image
31 Upvotes

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another gun appreciation post, this time with something that’s a bit of a classic for you guys. A good ol’ Lever Action, which you can almost never go wrong with, they are truly amazing guns, and I believe that everyone SHOULD have one in their collection.

The particular Lever Action we are looking at today is the Marlin Model 336, a classic .30-30 Winchester rifle that is no nonsense, and it just will run and run like it always does. If you are an avid sports shooter or a hunter, it’s always gonna help get what you need.

If you all have one, feel free to share your experiences with it, because honestly, it’s a great rifle that anyone can gloat or talk about. Or maybe you have a different .30-30 Lever Action like a Henry, and maybe you love that instead, nothing wrong with that either.

Anyways, enough yapping!

Enjoy!

Buy recommendations Scope Reccomendations - FFP (MOA) 2x10-15 mag range $2000 total budget

6 Upvotes

Curious if anyone has any input on a scope im looking at. Going on a 308win. Primary use case is spot&stalk/still hunting rifle. Typical shots likely <150m aside from cuts where 200-250m is possible, but i'd like to keep the shots <300m.

So far thoughts are Bushnell R7 3x15-50, Trijicon 2-10x32, Meopta 3-15x. The Trijicon has more FOV which is nice for target acquisition, but less zoom and a smaller objective lens which hunting in a mix of thick mixed boreal forest or clear cuts its maybe not the best choice for the use case.

Open to any ideas/input. Cheers

Application / Regulation advice ATC Exemption process?

16 Upvotes

Seeing a few posts about people Successfully obtaining Olympic or Target Exemptions, I'm Curious if anyone with a Workplace ATC or even a Wilderness ATC has gone through the process of obtaining a new Handgun in B.C.

I have a few people who have non-LEO ATC's for work but didn't have any Handguns before the Freeze.

So I'm looking for how they can navigate the process to obtain one. I'm assuming they will want 9mm or .40 for work training.

Would you still have to provide proof of training for Competition?

But reading the format on the website in its bullet point and location of a comma tells me that might not be required.

"If you want to acquire a handgun from any source in Canada, or through importation, you must meet one of the exemptions specified in the Firearms Act. Specifically, you must either:

*hold an authorization to carry in respect of a handgun, or for trapping and wilderness protection.

*meet the prescribed criteria and annually provide a letter to a chief firearms officer from a provincial or national sport shooting governing body indicating: (bullet points of target requirements not posted to save space)

Considering those are separated and it says Either the ATC might be just enough to not need target competition requirements.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

I've been helping a buddy acquire some vintage shotguns for his collection, so far picking him up a Winchester Model 12 and a Model 24. The Model 24 came with 2 sets of barrels so I offered to make him a case. The only thing I could find as a doner-case was still a bit big, so I'm making it so that fits both shotguns and all the barrels

News / Politics / Activism Trump's new crazy 50% tax and imports

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know if Trump's new tax is going to affect the final price of the Mikasi if I put a deposit on it already on the basis of the listed price? I definitely can't justify more than the listed price. Kinda worried here.

Edit: In response to all the, 'learn how tariffs work' responses...it's quite possible/likely that retaliatory tariffs will be put on American goods and I wonder if that will affect the price of the Mikasi. Do stores have to honour the original posted price? Do they have to give back the deposit if they can't honour the original price due to counter tariffs?

Who knows when these will be finally imported and it looks like an intense trade war is possible over the next few months.

Gun and gear reviews Backland Hunter Comp First Impressions

Thumbnail

73 Upvotes

Ever since the original backland hunter came out I’ve been eying one, but the reviews kept me away. Seeing the comp come out and a few good reviews I decided to give it a try.

Ordered a set of irons for it which still haven’t arrived, but I wanted to try it out so threw a red dot on and took it to EESA.

Ran about 50 rounds of .223 with the only issue being not feeding 2 rounds. Also realized that if you raise the cheek riser it’ll block the charging handle lol.

New to guns so I don’t have anything to compare to, but fit and finish is good. Planning on taking it out again next weekend and might update.

I threw the Archangel AR-15 style conversion kit on my fiancé's Ruger 10/22 yesterday. Overall, pretty straightforward process. Only hiccup was that the mag well on the Archangel needed to be sanded down inside to allow the 10/22 mag to drop. It's a little tight in there so the mag was getting stuck after releasing. Other than that, it was super easy! Threw on the Viridian scope that came with the Ruger Bass Pro deal, and a Magpul vertical grip. Definitely needs higher scope rings because it's literally sitting on the pic rails.😂 Got some pics during the process.

Borderline my most ghetto work so far haha. But also seems pretty promising (This is a " proof of concept " setup). A non permanent RMR mount for the Uberti 1873 lever actions. Installed a cheap Osight bought off Amazon with the goal of having a 50m zero on the dot (3moa), and a crude 100m hold over on the bottom ring (32moa ring).
