Has anyone had any issues flying w basic firearm parts in their checked bags? I'm mostly worried I'll end up spending half an hour filling out forms and paying more than the magazine is worth to get it on the plane.
It's distinct enough from an AR-180 already, but could do with a few extra design changes just in case. Even though there's no companies actually making AR-16 clones I've still had this question floating in my mind for a bit. What do you guys think?
A few folks have been wondering what's going on with Armalytics lately? And rightly so. The project took a back seat for a little while due to other things, not to mention some changes on the RCMP side that broke the automated updates.
However, the site has been revamped!
What's new
- 3-pane layout lets you filter, browse, and view details all at once (Desktop)
- Direct links to individual firearms
- Improved data syncs mean no more missed updates
What is coming soon:
- Historical FRTs, French, and more.
Check it out and reach out if you have any issues or comments.
My goal has always been to democratize the FRT data and make it easily accessible to all in the community. And as always pro-firearm, no ads, no affiliations.
I've settled on a Tikka T3X as my first hunting rifle - shocking right?
I want one with either a stainless or cerakoted barrel, as well as a threaded barrel (ideally with muzzle brake included).
Two such variants exist within my budget, and I'm having a hard time choosing which one to go for.
Pros - a bit cheaper, 4 inch shorter barrel (could be a con?). Would feel less annoyed if I swapped the action into a different chasis.
Cons - 7lbs. On backorder with no firm ETA.
I'm sure either rifle would be awesome, and last along time and drop deer no problem. I just love researching gear and feeling 100% in my purchase choice.
Do you have one of these? Another suggestion in this price range? A pro or con I missed? Let me know, I'd love to hear it.
Update:
Bought the Roughtech. If you own it, did you replace the bolt next to the sling stud with another sling stud?
I bought a tm22 currently cleaning the factory lube out and I’m thinking if I should remove the left side extractor cause I heard it increases reliability but some tm22 a run perfectly fine if u just leave it in.
Wanted to start a leaderboard or some kind of friendly competition that also benefits our community!
The idea: some kind of pinned megathread or leaderboard for how many new shooters we’ve brought into the sport. Any ideas are welcome too!
I got the idea recently as I’ve been thinking about how my personal shooting community has grown significantly.
In my personal circle I’ve managed to get 5 people into shooting in under a year. Either they’ve begun the process to acquire their PAL and RPALs or they’ve already bought their first firearm.
Would be cool to see how high we could pump those numbers up. It benefit small business in the sport shooting and hunting communities, as well as our safety course instructors.
Biggest bonus is that the more licenses and lawful firearms owners per capita we’ve got, the harder it is for government to continue pushing current gun control misinformation onto the public. Our voice grows and we gain more advocacy in the media, etc.
IMO, much of what we’ve suffered through politically was made possible because of the public’s lackadaisical response to the LPC’s post-2019 gun control and public safety agendas. Hard to make waves when nobody knows or cares about what’s going on, so every new shooter we get is another educated person who can spread the word and to serve as a constituent an MP needs to consider for reelection.
Hey guys, looking to get a new scope for the upcoming hunting season. I'm deciding between a Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44mm Scope with BDC Reticle, Burris Fullfield 4-16×50 Ballistic E3, or a Burris Signature HD 3-15x44mm Ballistic E3 Illuminated SFP Scope. The Viper and Fullfield 4 is around the same price but the Signature HD is about $100 more.
I don't care too much for the extra feature of illumination for the extra hundred. More about clarity and ease of use. Any advise is appreciated. I'm fairly new and my current scope is a 3-9x40mm Vortex Diamondback Tactical. I don't find it terrible but I do feel that the clarity could be better
I wanted to do a little comparison with the Henry Mares Leg .22LR and the “traditional” Henry Lever action! Here are my results at 25 yards. (I did adjust my sights afterwards)
Have you guys had similar results with your mares leg?
Hi all. Since pretty much all shotguns with an AR look and magazine have been banned like the canucks, and deyras. Since guns like the carmel and mk15 are coming out, are there any able to be passed by RCMP
Does anyone have a Huskemaw Blue Diamond and understand the re sighting procedure?
Long story short I inherited one on a 30.06 Sako Grey Wolf, and the gun is shooting 24” high at 100Y and it just gets worse the further you go out. Tried the little side adjust at the correct distances and still no luck. Gun came with 300rds of Hornady 165gr SST and the ballistic turret is engraved for that round so I’ve no reason to suspect ammunition is the issue.
Contacted Huskemaw and probed the YouTube and various other reputable resources and still haven’t found an actual how to guide to sight these things in.
Question for all the milsurp guys. Wife and I have been kicking around the idea of moving to Canada from the States, most likely the Winnipeg area since she has family there. I have 2 bolt guns and a lever action that I want to take with us if it becomes a reality. Where would I start this process, and is Canadian law goofy when it comes to flash hiders and bayonets? Any help or advice is appreciated!
