Just got my RPAL and I am trying to start ISSF shooting in Saskatoon but I am stuck finding a coach. The SWF told me to contact the STSA, yet they have no phone number and my emails are not replied, so I wonder if I can just show up at their address. I also checked Prince Albert clubs with no luck on coaching. Who can I actually contact in SK to get started in this sport?

Anyone else surprised the NRA from the us doesn’t support their brothers in the north? For a bunch of gun lovers, they don’t mind turning a blind eye

Hello all. Thought I'd share my experience.

I purchased an AD500 in .308 in August or so of 2025. Upon trying it for the first time, I couldn't hit a barn at 100 yards. Figured it was just me and iron sights. After a breakin cleaning I noticed a piece of iron on the floor (uh oh I hope that's not out of the rifle). Upon inspection and looking at the parts manual, it was a piece of the cam pin that the bolt slides on to rotate. Put in a claim, all was well, they sent me a new part. Great!

I then put an lpvo on the rifle and took it to the indoor range to sight in. I had a 1.5-2" grouping... At 25 yards. Turns out, the barrel is failing. Rifling scored and pitted. Ok. Great. Put it another warranty claim, and they had me send the rifle out to gravel agency in Quebec from Alberta. This was December 2025.

Warranty was approved and process began. After a couple months went by, I began following up frequently. They were waiting for parts, or a new rifle. Then a new rifle showed up at their facility, but it failed inspection. Now about a month ago, I had a new reference number issued in my firearms account. Awesome it must be on the way soon, finally.

They sent me an invoice saying it was ready for pickup, in Quebec. I followed up with them to confirm it will be mailed back, and they said yes just an automated error, and they would send a tracking number when sent. Awesome.

3 days later I follow up as I still had not received a confirmation. They told me it was shipped July 13th via Canada post, and should be arriving in the next couple days, and keep checking the post office. Fair enough. It is now July 29th and after having no delivery notice still, I have been hounding them to send a tracking number or even any form of proof that they sent the rifle back to me, or that their IT department was working on the issue like they said (not sure how it's an IT issue). They told me to take their word for it, that wildfires have been disrupting Canada post, and they cannot disclose company information, and they can't do anything about a refund until they "figure it out". Canada post standard across Canada is 4 business days according to their website, and no postage delay is active on their website. They have basically told me now to just wait.

If a company can't provide something as simple as a tracking number for a package they shipped to a customer, and have no real explanation as to why, I'm convinced they haven't sent me anything at all.

Any advice?

You ever buy a gun and then ask yourself why?

In the case of this Federation Arms SPM 12 w/ 9” barrel, sure, I could carry it for hiking. I do live near the north coast of BC and there are mountains and mountain trails everywhere… and lots of bears…. But I restrict my hiking to August and the bears are all down by the river or in lush lowland vegetation.

But I already own a Benelli SuperNova Tactical 12 pump shotgun…

Build quality looks ok although the charging handle is bolted on cheap plastic. Still, not a bad buy for $575 but not great…. But my God that Benelli has shot upped in price since I bought it.

I still haven’t taken it to the range yet…

Anyone one able to id this gal

All in all it shot well. Put some Hornady match grade ammo and some Hungarian loads through it. My only issue is that the fibre optic rod on the front sight got loose and fell out. Do I just glue it in or is there an actual fix?

TLDR: The “lifetime warranty” that they very clearly advertise all over their product boxes and on their website only applies if you have a US address. They also claim “no receipt required” despite that being a blatant lie.

I thought I’d give Crimson Trace a try. I wasn’t too sure about them, but it seemed like it was worth a try since they very clearly and repeatedly advertise a lifetime warranty all over their products.

I purchased this scope a while back for a hunting rifle. Life got extremely in the way and I haven’t been able to even think about hunting again until this coming November. Because of this, I finally took the scope out to zero. Took a single shot, went to adjust the elevation for the first time, and the turret was completely locked up.

I gave crimson trace a call and they claimed that they require a receipt despite their own website clearly stating “no receipt required”. Between a basement flood amongst other things, I have no idea where the receipt would be or if it even still exists.

The receipt issue doesn’t matter though because upon hearing my Canadian shipping address, they told me that they cannot handle a warranty claim unless I have a US address. I guess the “lifetime warranty” plastered all over the box is just decoration on the products that are sold in Canada or anywhere else outside of the US.

It seems I now have a paper weight worth over a month of my discretionary income. Don’t be an idiot like me and buy from this company.

Hello all,
I’m in the market for a tm22 pro, but the stores near me only have the 12”.

Is it worth waiting to get a 16” or 18”?

Or do the 12s run?

To whomever left all their garbage here, you are a lazy SOB. This was around Harrison East Forest Service Road.

Don't worry, I picked up all your crap and hauled it out.

Be better, don't ruin it for everyone.

Shoutout to the dude who told me it’s pull-ution, not pollution.

just got a message that my april pre order for the sks mag adapter has shipped! hurray!

How long does it take on an average to get the exemption letter from BCTSA Since I joined and sent them an email, i haven’t received any response from them yet. Not even acknowledgment email ( if there is of some sort? H. Been about a week.

Can anyone help me to understand how can I qualify for it in NS? I can see other provinces are having this

I have restricted license and want to have 22lr handgun for target shooting. I have gun club membership. Do I need to get black badge course?

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we have Canada’s sidearm that was carried all the way up until 2024 when it was fully replaced by the Sig P320 as the sidearm.

I know that some might say that the mags were kinda janky, but TBF, the magazines are pretty old and probably have been used and abused by plenty of people in the CAF. Oh and if any CAF members or vets are in here and you have experience with this pistol, please do share your experiences, because I am willing to hear it out.

Now the Hi-Power arguably is one of the most consistent pistols in history because it’s been around for a long time, and for today’s standards it’s actually held up very well. Back then of course in the Canadian gun market you could buy Hi-Powers until 2022 when the great handgun freeze happened, so yeah there was that. But that’s besides the point. IMO, I think that the Hi-Power served well, and I mean what else is there to say about it? It’s Canada’s main sidearm that officers would carry around, and it served well. Inglis made sure to make plenty of Hi-Powers.

Anyways enjoy!

Here’s the thing: I’m a buy once cry once type of guy and don’t like holding cheap guns I won’t use.
I want to get into trap and am looking at getting a silver pigeon… I don’t know how committed i would be to the sport so I was wondering how easy it is to sell these guns later?
I might just keep it because it’s so pretty but just curious how easy it would be to get rid of if I did need to

Looking for my first FA.
What is the best micro/small/light shotgun?

I was considering a-tactical, sr-45, rp coach, tr410micro, sr410, from tacticalimports. Any other smaller shotguns that you would recommend?

Ruger American Gen II Scout in 5.56, fresh from IRG. Haven’t fired it yet, but it feels great, right out of the box, and excited to try the scout scope arrangement.

Gents (Ladies Too) I have been with firearms all my life. Here is my respectably small collection.

I am a man of one caliber as my father before me.

Thanks

Hi all, I'm eyeing on this .223 Rem, wondering if it also takes 5.56 NATO? Rumour on internet saying that these .223 Rem guns are labelled this way for import purpose, but it MAY take 5.56 NATO

Hi all,

Wanted to hear the community's thoughts on this scope. I was planning to get a red dot for the makasi but thought this might be a better option.

My usage will mainly be target shooting at an indoor range.

Really wanted a APC9 or GHM9 but alas, prohib.

So I turned my 1970s 10/22 into the closest thing. 26inch OAL without comp.

My dad gave me one of the old .22s we used to shoot, ran it through AI - It’s a Winchester Model 1906 .22 pump-action (slide-action) rimfire rifle, likely made around 1925–1926.  This is a classic American “gallery gun” or plinker/small game rifle from Winchester’s long line of .22 pumps.

Hey y’all! Good to see you guys again today! Big question for anyone who has any information, as some is better than none, I am moving to Louisiana in 2028 and being a gun owner in that situation is incredible. However, I want to bring down my current firearms from up here in Canada. I’ve been recommended a few importers and exporters, but consistently I have been directed to Borderview. Has anyone here used them for a move or for importing/exporting a gun? Do you recommend someone else? I’m going to be dealing with a lot of headache with all of the other documents regarding moving permanently, so knowing that there are people who helps with this kind of stuff is good to hear. Please let me know if any of you guys got any info! Have a good day!
