Misc Shooting spots near Magnetawan?

6 Upvotes

I'm going up to Magnetawan for the weekend and was hoping to find a good spot on crown to target shoot. Anyone know of anywhere near there? I know its a big ask to give away your spots, but im not an asshole and id leave with more than I came in with. I've looked on the map and can't really find any decent looking areas, was hoping for somewhere someone has personally been to. Thanks!

The barrel nut comes loose every 10 rounds, the muzzle flash becomes off center the first time you tighten the barrel nut. The chassis also comes loose every 10 or so shots. The screws are already showing significant wear from repeated tightening. It's basically unusable. I don't even know what to do with this thing now.

Application / Regulation advice SBI G3 chassis 10/22 OAL question

Post image
38 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m planning on a 10/22 build with the G3 chassis. I was planning on using a Neumann folding buffer to picatinny adaptor on it. But eventually I want to buy a shorter barrel around 12 inch for it. With the folding stock I’m sure it’s going to be shorter than 26 inch.

So will I have to swap the stock for a telescopic buffer type adaptor that would be min 26 while collapsed? And would that even still be legal? Considering I could remove the stock and it would still be fireable. Or does the fact the buffer tube would require tools to remove make it ok? Our laws are so vague and I don’t wanna get in any hot water over it!

Thanks guys, happy shooting

Fix my gun TM22 left extractor removal

4 Upvotes

Does anyone have a video or some good pictures for exactly what I'm supposed to do for this modification? I got mine used and it jams all the time I thought they were all like that but I've seen removing the left extractor can help cycling. I heard all I need is an Allen key and a punch but I don't want to punch a wrong hole by accident lol

Fix my gun Gunsmith in Nova Scotia?

12 Upvotes

I bought my son an older rifle online from General gun in Feb to use hunting. It was a 1960's Savage 110L.

We finally had time to get out and sight it in... or so we thought.

Visually the firearm looked fine before we used it and we gave it a light cleaning. However we only got 1 shot off and the casing won't eject.

It's a old rifle, but he really likes it and I'm hoping we can get it repaired.

Any suggestions for gun smiths?

Buy recommendations Ruger SR-22 bad idea?

Thumbnail

44 Upvotes

Went to go buy beef jerky, next door there’s a firearm store so I figured what the heck. Saw this Ruger SR-22 with 4 mags for 595 moose dollars on the used rack. Being a Ruger fan boy and having exactly 595 to spend on jerky, I bought it instead.

Figured Ruger could do me no harm. Heck I’d suck on old Bill Rugers toes if I could. But I opened up the Google and found quite a bit of bad reviews. Was the SR-22 really that bad? The weight I don’t mind.

(Mags are pinned)

Fix my gun Loading ramp on wrangler sometimes doesn’t go down fully

Post image
7 Upvotes

It’s not every time but the ramp won’t fully seat down sometimes. It’s almost like the magazine tube spring puts too much pressure on the ramp so it doesn’t go down all the way. It likes to start on rounds 3 and 4 (7 round capacity) Sometimes 2 if it feels extra. When it does that, pushing the loading get in pushes the ramp down and “fixes” it. Not sure if it’s the ramp itself with an issue but levering it with nothing in seems to fully seat the ramp.

I’ve shot about 20 rounds through it. It worked flawlessly. This go around I loaded it up, but didn’t have a need to shoot it (went out to check for coyotes) so I went to unload. That’s when I noticed this issue.

Application / Regulation advice Firearm deactivation and Borrow a Restricted firearm transfer

11 Upvotes

Hey Guys, long time listener, first time caller. I have a complex situation here, i'll try to lay out the details and get some advice or clarity.

My Neighbour unfortuneatly passed away early last year, and had a small collection of restricted and one prohibited handgun. His wife, passed away early this year and left their kids to navigate the estate etc. Their son is now the executor of their estate.

Their son has obtained his PAL/RPAL, but obviously with the freezes does him little to no good. He is considering deactivating the firearms as opposed to a straight up surrender.

Which leads me to my first question, is there any gunsmiths in the Manitoba region that can handle deactivations?

They seem to be few and far between, i've given him some contact info for guys in our area but recomendations are appreciated.

Second question: Assuming he will need an ATT to transfer to the gunsmith anyways, is it difficult to transfer them from province to province for deactivations sake? If not recomendations in the Calgary AB area for gunsmiths to complete the deactivation are welcome as well.

Third question: Is there any chance he would be able to "lend" the restricted firearms to himself as the executor of the estate? I understand this is more of a CFO question, but i was hoping to get feedback if anyone has personally done this or at least attempted to. I understand this option still exists for individual to individual, but the executor to person sitution complicates things.

The intent isn't that he keeps the handguns indefinitely, but moreso to buy the guy some time to work through the other aspects of the estate, then get his feet under him and get the guns deactivated. Ideally he would get some time to enjoy the guns while he has them in his possession.

Knowing his father, he would be sad to see them surrendered, and would be happy to know his guns got enjoyed as long as possible before ultimately having them deactivated.

Any advice or help is appreciated! Sorry for the long winded post. Obligatory "man our gun laws suck"

*Sorry for any typo's or spelling mistakes, i have fat fingers and posted this on my phone\*

Edit: Thanks for all if the suggestions and insight! You all are a great bunch!

Misc Will Henry Homesteader without a stock be considered a errrr... "handgun"?

0 Upvotes

So apparently, Henry Homesteader with just Nuemann Metalworks adapter and a pistol grip is very much a functional gun, sans butt-stock. It is even of NR length (27+ inches). It only misses a butt stock.

If we keep it in that configuration, will it be legal?

Picture is not mine. It belongs to /u/HappyCan7250

The only issue I see is objection is that argument can be made that since it is missing a butt stock, it has been altered to fire with one hand, ergo it is a handgun and no longer a rifle. Similar to how Taurus Judge Home Defender is considered as a handgun. This is ofcourse hypothetical argument.

Any one has insights in this?

PS: Picture is not mine. I took it from this thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/canadaguns/comments/1v52y56/neumann_metalworks_homesteader_furniture/

If original owner of pic objects, I will remove it.

News / Politics / Activism What happened to Cross Industries?

Post image
80 Upvotes

I had been following crossmags for a long time as Cross kept teasing us with .308 coupler mags for competition shooting. They also teased 7.62x39 coupler magazines.

I went into the backrooms to find my old gear and was reminiscing about days before the great banning. And I saw them... my crossmags...

I went to google Cross Industries and it seems that all of their socials are dead. I can't find their website, and everyone is out of stock of their magazines. I'm not surprised. When all of the MSRs are banned, you lose a business built entirely on being a legal supply of more than 5-rounds.

Does anyone know if they got bought out? Who owns their IP? I would love to see the tech go to MDT. I imagine they can do something great with it.

I was so excited for 7.62x39 magazines...
