I have a new production Winchester 1892 in .357Mag. It has the classic crescent buttplate style, which I find to be very uncomfortable to shoot because of the pointy ends. I'm looking for a rubber recoil pad like the limbsaver ones, I wanted to hear your recommandation for the best ones and to be sure to get one that fits.

Sighted in the Tikka 30-06.

Adjusted from right to left and ended up sawing down a poplar tree.

Final result - group of 3 circling the bullseye. 1.25" group.

I just got a TM22 with 12" barrel, came with a 10 rd mag that feeds perfectly.

I bought a couple of the Derya 15rd mags, but it doesnt insert well at all. On inspection, there is a difference in the rear notch of the mags. Is this an issue for anyone else? I'm wondering if I should return it, or should I try sanding it. Don't want to mess it up if there's a different version of the 15rd mag I'm supposed to get.

Thanks

Apparently, a TM22 with a Sightmark red dot and cheapass Federal ammo is the way to go. 🤣

I'm wanting to put a muzzle device of sorts on my TM22, just something that looks cool or badass. What are y'all running?

Maybe once I get one I'll take a new pic with those toes out for ya! 😉

Different types of firearms are explained in detail here.

Exporting firearms, ammunition, parts and accessories from the US: most items are controlled under ITAR and you cannot, as an individual, export these items from the USA. Canada does not care in most cases. If you attempt to bring any of these items across the border yourself and you are caught, you will face prison time in the US. If you wish to export items from the USA, use a broker such as IRUNGUNS, Aztech, or Prophet River.

If you took your CFSC and lost the paperwork, you can still apply for your PAL. Both your instructor and the CFP retain copies, you can request a copy by contacting either one. There is no expiration date on the paperwork, you do not have to retake the course. Updated list of scam websites is here.

If you have new scam sites to add, please message the mod team. Be careful: only use reputable sites to purchase things online. It is illegal to manufacture a non-restricted, restricted, or prohibited firearm.

Any posts or comments asking about the legality of making a firearm other than a reproduction antique will be removed. It was not always illegal, which is why you will find old posts regarding this topic. Rest assured, it is illegal now. Do not attempt.

These threads will be stickied for a week, renewing every Monday. Previous threads here.

Im a Canadian living in the US. I wouldn’t normally bother because I can just buy guns hassle free south of border, but there is an old Colt pistol of a relative in Canada that I may inherit and would be worth going through the importation into the US process. It doesn’t look too bad using an export service like Borderview or Irunguns, except one thing, the Canadian Law. As this is an heirloom piece (collecting dust hasn’t been shot in decades) I’m not sure if it is registered, and I also am not entirely sure the relative is licensed correctly. Hence my questions.

1. Obviously there is going to be no possible way to export until it is registered if it isn’t already. If it was registered, the person exporting it from Canada would also need their restricted to arrange transport to the customs broker? Any way around that to still have it transported to broker without restricted?
2. I do have friends with RPAL in Canada, can someone with an RPAL could go about the process of having an old unregistered pistol registered with the RCMP? To turn around and help me with an export.

Trying to stay fully above board here and see what would be lawfully involved , quite a bit more hoops to jump through on the Canada side to even have it leave there.

Anyone experienced anything like this?

Would there be much of an advantage having it up further on rail?

Hi there, if i wanted to get a deactivated firearm, are there extra steps i need to go through ? On collectors source, they got brens and type 56s aks on there that are deactivated. Thinking of purchasing one sometime. Any replies are great, thank you

From the beginning, the "ASFCP" has included two ominous footnotes alluding to how they're going to violate gun owners that declare their property.

- "Compensation is not guaranteed"

And, should you reside in AB or SK

- "Individuals who live in Alberta or Saskatchewan should consult their provincial government for laws or regulations put in place that may impede or limit their participation in the program."

Now, we know there is a licensing scheme for potential private collection agents in the Alberta legislation. I have not looked into SK.

Should you contact the AB CFO, you will learn the Federal government has not applied for any confiscation agent licensing.

So, the very obvious indication here is that they intend to wash their hands of responsibility in these two provinces and leave any owners who declared property to face the end of the amnesty with no option but to deactivate or surrender their property.

Absolutely shameful how this program has been handled.

So the owner states in my review that he’s never seen an email from me even though I have an entire thread with them. He also says I can call today and get a refund. Well I’ve already requested one in writing twice, and left a voicemail with no replies. After he or another older man who works there answered the phone the first time I called, I was told they were to be shipped out on Friday. when it wasn’t and the next week was underway, they wouldn’t answer any phone call from me, funny enough, I got a friend to call 10 mins after I had and they picked up immediately. After he asked for the hours and told me they answered I called them right away and sure enough, no answer.

Beware of ordering from this company. Worst customer experience, lying in their own reviews, and refusing to send a refund upon request.

So my gun found its way into a body of water today after it had a sqib with a flair.

Cleared it and ran a cleaning rod down it and fired another round. Gun works fine but was thinking I should probably clean it.

Was pulling it apart and noticed the bent gas rods. Were can I get some new ones ?

I am looking to buy a Mosin 91/30, and I came across an ad on GunPost for one in supposedly good condition for $900.

$900 is much too high for a standalone rifle, but the listing includes 375 rounds of ammo.

The total price seems reasonable considering the ammunition, even though the rifle itself would be expensive on its own.

I have read a few comments here mentioning that this particular seller tends to overprice their items, so I wanted to see what others think?

For around $669 CAD for the rifle plus $230 CAD for the ammo, is this a fair price or is it overpriced?

What do Canadian Mosin experts think?

Went down to the BRRC open house range day event and got to shoot the TM22 .22 lr, the RSO seemed pretty impressed but I can't tell if this is actually good or if he's just trying to recruit me lol. He did mention that the sights were not zeroed in, so maybe that’s why it’s a bit high? 10 rounds for reference

Just saw this post from Brigade. I have a feeling those are headed north.

Hello comrades. Or whatever the equivalent is in China.

Have a Type 56 and was finishing up with at the range, went to clear it and throw the safety on, and the safety stop broke right off like butter.

Owned it for years without issue, now due to the SKS craze, I can’t find a replacement online.

Anybody got a line on a site that’s got any in stock?

Thanks boys, happy shooting

purchased a day after the incoming handgun freeze was announced.

Beretta Model 71 in 22LR

I’m thinking I can add one to my KSG12 and one to my Adler RF224.

I know there are better Vortex red dots, but I saw a couple of YouTube reviews, and with it being on sale, it looks like a good deal. Am I wrong?

Go buy a SKS before it’s too late

Gunpost of the day....lets put stickers on a DT-11 stock....I mean to each their own I suppose but Christ on a Bike that's a choice to make.

The ad description really got me "Beautiful DT11/32in almost like new," yeah almost....
