Chiappa Little Badger .17hmr

Any recommendations for store and/or website for parts for this beautiful /s rifle?

Does anyone know how to remove the adaptor covering the trigger pins? I stripped the entire lower and can’t figure it out. Also can’t find anything online.

I am located in Calgary, Alberta and want to join a handgun competition however I am uncertain about the requirements around it. My range is located in Rocky Mountain House and has pistol ranges I use often.

Am I required to be IPSC certified for all of the competitions? If so what if my range doesn’t offer this course. Where can I do it.

Ultimately I’d love some advice or even pay for some information as to how one goes about joining a league and shooting competitively.

Thanks ahead of time!

As the title states, has anyone actually had any good experiences with Firearms Outlet Canada? Getting back into the sport after several years of hiatus. I’ve been to their old store and had a pretty piss poor interaction with them. They act like everything you ask is a chore and it’s a privilege to be buying from them.

Thought I would try them again since they’re 5 min from my folks place. Called to ask to price match a $30 difference on a rifle and was told they only price match Ontario stores. Then I asked if I pick it up can I get a few bucks off from shipping savings since they offer free shipping over $500 (yes my order was over $500) and was also told no.

Naturally I ordered my rifle from another reputable shop online.

Personally, I shoot my 30-06 with my Barnes Triple Shock TSX reloads.

What do you guys shoot?

It's been a decade+ with my 20 inch bolt action 22lr. After having a taste of smaller firearms, I'm looking for suggestions for a short barrel, compact 22lr rifle.

What's everyone's suggestions?? Of course I think of a ruger 10/22, but what company makes good short barrels for them? What other rifles fill the same role without needing to buy both a gun and a barrel?

While I'm mainly looking for a semi auto, I'd certainly be curious to see what short barrel manual actions are also out there.

Thanks r/canadaguns!

Just put the pieces together, havent shot it yet.

Feels fat and plasticky

Wouldnt be my first choice, but pretty good for what we have. I like the ambi controls and the adjustable stock

I feel like trying to explain this often is like I am two headed dragon since this field is new and emerging, I kinda trying to explain what happen in simple dumb down terms pragmatically to me with chronic pain syndrome:

So it's a bit complicated, but new research interlinks ADHD can cause chronic pain in depth, and stimulants can dramatically help, along with other meds like pramipexole. As someone who is AuADHD: I have to wave said study data in doctors' faces and find a new doctor who actually listens and works with their patients.

Please give me Vyvanse and pramipexole to fix my chronic pain based on study data because everything else they've tried has failed or been mismanaged.

Now I can go pew pew with guns without my back being in 8/10 pain afterwards taking Vyvanse and pramipexole, and it's resolving a really severe disability I've had since 2019.

I am also not making up things, Dr. S Kasahara has lead in depth studys within this field and has a whole mini study review on neurodivergent chronic pain management:

Bought an heirloom shotgun and it’s been fine for a few years, this summer was brutally humid in my house and I took it out for a 6 month checkup/dusting and noticed pitting and rust on the barrel.

Would a re-oiling and dehumidifier fix this or should I get the barrel re-blued ?

(Using 3 in 1 Oil rather than a gun specific oil - should I use something else?)

Got out to the “range” tonight. Shot a variety of firearms. Had alot of fun! if you don’t care to read all this skip to the end where I get to the point. The Savage axis 308 in an mdt field stock reached out to 500 yards on steel with a crappy tasco 4-16x50 I really need to swap it out for something better it’s very yellow and grainy. The taipan x in .223 shot some decent 2” groups at 100 yards. I need to work on my steadiness Messed around with the wrangler blackout in 357 it really rings the 1/2 ar500 plates. Obliterated some 2l milk jugs with the Ege Levar12s and put a couple hundred rounds through the 2 tm22’s the 16” pro is growing on me it runs really nice have a cheap cvlife 1-4 lpvo on it nice crisp picture although 1x seems like it’s almost zoomed out and 1.5 seems to be no magnification it’s also fairly accurate averaging 1-1.5” groups at 25 yards just shooting federal auto match and less than 4” groups at 100 yards as i can hit the 4” ar500 plate pretty much everytime.

Okay here’s the end. the Morisson lever iron wolf is still my hands down favorite plinker. I was having some light strike issues after 400 ish rounds which turned out to be gummed up firing pin I think it was 1 in 5 light striking and I cleaned the pin out with brake clean and air and it came out black and chunky. Tonight I tried it out for the first time since cleaning and first shot. Light strike. Damn it okay let’s keep going well the next 70 rounds no light strikes so I’m thinking it’s fixed lol. Also pretty sweet groups at 25 yards the bottom group was free standing (I’m fat and out of shape) the top 2 were sitting and resting elbows on the table. Not to bad the more I get out the better I’ll get. Shit this part was long too sorry guys I’ve got no friends and my wife doesn’t wanna listen to me ramble about this stuff. Anyways get out there and have fun!

stock and forend made of synthetic wood that’s nearly indestructible and waterproof (and looks absolutely gorgeous), stainless engraved receiver, interchangeable chokes, original transport case. everything i dreamed of

Thanks to u/JinkalinkNinja post (https://www.reddit.com/r/canadaguns/comments/1v194kt/tm22_pro_bolt_hold_open/) a few days ago, and his great idea, I've have made a thing! It's a replacement safety switch that also works as a bolt hold open on a stock configuration TM-22. Still in crude prototyping stages, but it's very promising.

Figured it was time to take a family photo.

I found this is a trunk while doing some organizing I forgot I even had it. If I remember correctly it was brought home by either my grandfather or great grandfather after the finished their service.

I'm just curious and not really looking for a debate. Thank you

A few of you asked to see the JP Sauer drilling I posted a few days ago in action. Took it out last night and it’s an absolute dream! The rifle barrel (although it hasn’t been sighted in so it’s a little high and to the left) shot a dime sized hole, absolute tack driver!

The specs are 12Ga-12Ga-222 Remington (12Ga bores are 2-3/4” which is awesome as most drillings have 2-1/2” chambers)

Handload data I went with for the 222Remington was as such: Starline 222 brass, Winchester small rifle primers, 55g Campro bulk FMJ bullet, 20.4g of H4895 (using Lee dies).

Definitely will be a hunting gun if I ever take up hunting! (Upland bird that is since it’s fixed full chokes, so no steel shot)

New PAL holder here. I am familiar with firearms but new to being an owner.

There's a number of firearms I'd like to acquire over the next few years (22LR bolt action, hunting rifle, a lever action etc.). I'm in no hurry, and not too picky on specific models, so I thought "no problem, I'll just take my time, wait for the right thing to come up on Gunpost in my area, and save myself 25-30%".

....except most posts on Gunpost are consistently at or above new price at Cabela's or one of my local gun stores. They're even worse deals when you compare to online gun stores. At best I'd be saving $50-100 in tax vs a new gun - hardly worth it IMO.

Am I stupid? Are all these sellers pricing high in the expectation of selling lower? Or should I just give up and buy new?

(this is lower mainland BC, so I'm willing to believe that local sellers are dumber than the average...)

Vz.61 and Mark IV 22/45 both chambered in 22lr!

Finally felt like taking something outside.

Ok so found something kinda wild. They now have chassis kits for the 10/22 that turns it into a P90.

Now, we know bullpup conversions are illegal, but is the P90 a bullpup? It’s a genuine question I have as it’s really kinda a unique design on its own. Also, I thought maybe we got some kind of exception given we are talking rimfire and it already has other exemptions for it.

What do we think?

Press the button while pulling empty magazine locks action open like the previous iteration, however now after inserting a new magazine you can push the button backward to release the bolt, and actually chamber a fresh round. Need some more tweaking on the ergonomics though

Hey, would like to get into competitive shooting, most Practical/ dynamic/ action shooting in ontario is 3 gun or handgun only, can’t really do that with the current freeze.
Anyone have any info how practical rifle only shooting in ontario?
I know ORA runs events but looking for a club setting to practice
