Bought this Russian SKS with a detachable magazine for 80 dollars used off a buddy back in 2018, oh how times have changed 😂

It’s been through several evolutions over the years , of course it sported the classic ati stock at some point but eventually I got tired of coming up with solutions to keep the pistol grip tight.

I bought it as a teenager, and absolutely shot the piss out of it, I have 5 empty crates to prove it . After a while i noticed it was getting a bit more difficult to shoot it out to further ranges on reduced sized targets so I setup a paper at 100 at the gun range.

Well she shot about a 12 MOA group , so I figured it was time to rebarrel it. A friend had a spare barrel he didn’t want any more so we did some horse trading and I got it off him.

Using some equipment I had access to I removed the front sight post , bayonet lug and cut the barrel to 18.7, threaded and re-crowned. It needed some machine work to index correctly and head space but it was all doable with a lathe and some patience.

While I was in there I powder coated the barrelled action , dust cover , and bolt carrier.

I can confidently say it’s a shooter now , initially shooting 2.5” groups with Chinese surplus ammo. I haven’t confirmed since.

The primary arms 3x prism is calibrated for 7.62x39 and works wonders out to a confirmed 450 yards; consistently hitting a full sized steel torso 5/5 when the wind dies
down.

I couldn’t count the miles this rifles been carried through the woods , and lord knows how many rounds it has seen between myself and the previous owner. Take care of these guns and they will take care of you !

We’ve all gotten the short stick with all these recent bans ; but remember gents there’s still fun to be had and get out there , be safe and enjoy your property!

Found this lee Enfield no 1 mark 3 at the LGS. Was missing a mag. Happened to have a buddy with an extra mag. Picked it up for cheap. Probably slap a new stock on it since this one has had lots of "art" added to it.

Recommendations for a sub $200 stock for it? Not sure if I want try and restore it or go with a polymer stock.

Surprised no one makes a ranger point style stock for these.

Heard the bells on my street and knew I had to get the tool sharpening guy sharpen my bayonet… $5

Whaddya think? New 12in Pro arrived, sold out pretty much instantly. Added a grey to the fleet. 😁

Quebec International Skeet Provincials got rained out but I still hit the range to get some practice in.

If you are and wouldn't mind accompanying a guest, I'd like to tag along. I've heard good things about the club, particularly that it has a 300 yard range. Would be sweet to check it out before committing to the membership, since it is a bit of a drive for me.

Side discussion: what are some of the better ranges in the lower mainland?

Want a more accurate big game semi auto. So accuracy is key. I like the free floating barrel and (nearly) toolless takedown of the R1. But the BAR has more caliber options despite how much I am not a fan of their newer BARs.

I submitted an ATT and never received a reply. Logged into my account and saw an approval but I can't download the form.

Anyone else experience this?

Went out to a fairly popular crown land shooting spot in my area today, it was my first time there and im not super familiar with the etiquette of public shooting but definitely had a weird experience.

When I first arrived it was just one guy and his girlfriend plinking with their .22, i asked if they minded me setting up next to them and they had no problems so I set up and started plinking with my .22 too. We would pause and go adjust our targets at the same time, and everything went smoothly.

Eventually they left and immediately after a big group pulled in. Right away they started unloading their targets and walking all around down range without saying a word to me, not even a “hi”. I sat patiently for about 10 minutes waiting for them to clear downrange, and then they just started shooting without any heads up to put on ear pro. It really came across that they felt as though because they were a bigger group they were free to take control over the area even though I was already there.

They were also shooting their prohib (GSG16 I think) and using unpinned 30-round SKS mags. I’m against the bans as much as the next guy, but this is just irresponsible. The last thing we need as a community are headlines about people getting caught shooting prohibs or “high capacity assault-style SKS’s.”

If any of you happen to be reading this, I’m sure you’re all decent people just out to have a good time, and I get it. But please think about the responsibility that comes with bringing firearms to a public spot. Every time something like this makes the news, it gives ammunition to the people trying to take this away. Abide by the laws even if you disagree with them, and please teach the young kid you brought proper safe handling, letting him walk around waving a gun in people’s direction isn’t okay.

I left shortly after and found a different area to shoot but as a new shooter the experience left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe its just because im new to the hobby, but the shooting environment that this group created did not feel safe and respectful, and im hopeful that this isnt the norm for crown land shooting.

Buddy bought me a prohibited magazine for my new 10/22!

Jokes aside, this ruger 10/22 carbon is amazing! Very accurate and cycles my favorite grouse rounds. CCI sub sonics. Very accurate with the CCI stingers too! I can't wait to hunt with this thing.

I like this thing a lot, especially with the stock replaced. Only shooting at 20m but for me that’s a pretty good group, (20 rounds). Really need to find a spot to see how that would translate at 100m or more.

Only gripe I have is that it will not feed from aftermarket mags, no issues with the CZ mags. I have 4 of the CZ mags so not a big deal, kind of annoying though.

It likes heavier ammo, 55g doesn’t group well, pretty much just shoot PMC Xtac 77g OTMs now.

ISSC SPA on clearance at CSC, wasn't much info about em besides the huntinggearguys review from 6 years ago. Took a gamble and it paid off! This thing is awesome and super accurate. No sling attachment points is kinda lame but I'm sure it can't be too hard to install. Otherwise a fantastic lil toggle action.
