Hey guys I wanted to know what does it sound to you. I’m looking to buy a rifle that comes with a picatiny rail that has been replaced by a 20moa one from MDT. The owner says that it helps with long range.

Now I’ve already bought a 1.25" scope rings on a entry level precision scope; does it sound alright? I don’t know anything yet about scope height and setup theory. I just want to know if I have to change something or if it’s totally alright?

I’m planning to learn and practice long range shooting this year and I don’t have a lot of amateur/experienced people around me.

Additional info : I have a more hunter oriented chassis that I will swap the precision chassis with to go hunting with the said rifle. Id keep the same scope/rail setup, but it will not shoot long distance like once a year. Would it be alright in the case a 20moa rail + 1.25" scope rings are paired together?

I try to learn and listen a lot of what people has to teach. Keep in mind that I will not be a professional shooter that wants to get everything perfect for a price out of this world if that make any sense. I just want to enjoy some free time outside with friends while learning the essentials along the way. Thanks again guys.

While I was at princess auto recently I couldn't help but notice the crazy price on their 20 gun safe. Ive been looking at safes recently not only for my guns but for personal documents and stuff. Wondering if its a good buy or if the typical princess auto quality is something I should be worried about.

Kinda new to posting here. Got the restricted Carmel coming in next month and the Makasi hopefully arrives in August. I know I'll need a bolt action eventually. Thinking Tikka in 308.

Recently took ownership of this SKS on an OPFOR Archangel. As you may see it’s quite dirty and therefore isn’t cycling very well. Looking for tips/instructions on the best way to strip and clean the action, I also need some wisdom on how I can remove the body to try and give it a scrub and clean.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Has anyone seen a red bodied scope anywhere in Canada? Yes I know it is lame, but I would like to find one before I try doing it myself.

What is the closest gun club to this area and if not I can just shoot NR but where are good and safe spots.

Hey All,
I've been waiting for a Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70 for a long time, like I'm sure some of you, and now considering other brands. I've been even open to the Marlin Trapper but even that has been a challenge.

I've been playing with the idea of the Rossi R95 Laminate which is like a replica Marlin, albeit not as high QC as the Marlin.

Would you recommend continue to wait for a Marlin or pick-up the Rossi R95?

If the Rossi R95 is really not recommended due to QC, would the S&W 1854 be a better choice? The only reason I haven't entertained the 1854 is really the laminate stock of the Rossi and Marlin that has attracted me to it.

Thank you!

I've been running into a lot of conflicting information lately about importing optics from the US to Canada. Some people say they've bought scopes online from US retailers with no problem, while others have had their items stopped at the border. From what I can tell, scopes in the US used to fall under ITAR but are now regulated under the Department of Commerce's EAR instead.

I'm looking at buying optics secondhand from private sellers in the US, so my main question is: under the new regulations, would they run into any issues shipping the optics up to Canada?

The two I'm after are the Bushnell Match Pro 5-30x56 and the Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56, both of which I can get for less than half of what any shop in Canada charges.

Any insight from people who've actually done this would be appreciated.

I've made an app that I wanted to make for a while. It's really just a website and not installable yet, but it runs fine on a phone.
The main purpose of the site is to upload a photo of your target, describe the firearm / ammo used and then get your shot data from the photo. You can make friends and compete in a match with them too.
I'm privacy focused and you don't need to put in a name, and you can control your own data.
If anyone is interested, please PM me and I'll send you the URL.
PS. Not a Fed :)
PPS. I had to tag this post and didn't see one that I liked so I just put "Cometitions/matches" because this can possibly fit there.

I am wondering what the process and associated costs are of being an instructor with FSESO are?

I can see the requirements on their website, and I’ve met all those.

For those that have become instructors, how long did the process take and what did it cost in total (not counting requirements like pal/rpal)?

Installed 16 inch shaw bull barrel, went to shoot it this weekend and at 25 meters it shoots about an inch low from where I am aiming with the scope maxed out. I am assuming this is barrel droop and I am wondering what is the best solution?

Option 1: The magpul stock came with a barrel shim, I can use that to prop it up, might affect accuracy since it will no longer be “free floated”

Option 2: 20 moa pic rail to point the scope downward

Option 3: I also read about a upgraded v block but not sure if I need to file the barrel

Edit: I think the reason for it shooting low is the v block is over torqued and pulling the barrel downward, I will retorque and see if that fixes the issue

Hey all, I used to love my 30 round pro-mag 597 .22 drums but I find that over time their reliability is going down. Getting feed issues and I can feel that it’s getting a bit sticky. I fear I ran too much crap and waxy ammo through them. I can’t find any disassembly videos and I know drums are a pain to reassemble so I’m nervous to just wing it. AI says to just spray ballistol in there but isn’t that a gun oil which you shouldn’t use in a magazine? If I did want to just wash it somehow what should I use or maybe lubricate only somehow? Anyone have any advice?

Today i picked up the Derya DYPA 9mm, which i ordered as soon as it was available. Being a pump action, I figure it'll last longer in our climate than something semi auto - It doesn't really compare directly to something like the Henry Homesteader, which was the 9mm I originally had my eye on.

​

Here are my impressions after putting about 100 rounds down the pipe.

​

First Impressions & Build Quality

Right out of the box, it has a decent amount of weight to it and feels sturdy in the hands. I was worried it might feel a bit like a toy but it is surprisingly robust. In fact, the build quality feels right on par with a TM22 Pro—the stock and pistol grip are identical, and the disassembly process is fairly straightforward.

​

The Action & An Unexpected Issue

When dry-pumping, the action feels solid but a little clunky. It is **not** spring-assisted, which is a feature I really enjoy on my Taipan X. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how much better it cycles when you are actually live-firing. Whether the action is just loosening up or the recoil helps, running multiple rounds in quick succession feels more than fine.

​

**One immediate issue to note:*\* After about 100 rounds, the bolt holding the stock and grip to the main receiver became *very* loose. This required a full disassembly of the rear portion of the firearm to retighten and apply blue Loctite to the bolts. Was not super impressed.

​

Magazines & Reloading

The gun comes with two proprietary magazines made by Derya. Compared to my aftermarket PMAGs, these are actually higher build quality and much closer to OEM Glock mags, so I'm sticking with them for now.

To save my hands, I picked up a Ludex speed loader, which made a massive difference. No more sore thumbs or spending over a minute loading a single mag—now it takes about 15 seconds with zero pain.

**An important note on mag insertion:*\* As others have mentioned, if you slam the magazine in too forcefully, it can over-insert, which locks up the bolt. When that happens, you have to drop the mag and seat it more gently. Because I prefer spirited reloads, I found a solid workaround: leaving the pump forward when inserting a fresh mag completely alleviates this issue.

​

Trigger & Ergonomics

The pump action runs smooth during firing, and the trigger actually exceeded my expectations. It's heavy, but you always know where it'll fire. I really enjoyed my brief shooting session with it and look forward to firing it again.

​

The Verdict

If you dislike manual-action firearms, you’ll probably want to stay away - if your only goal is to mag-dump a semi-auto as fast as possible just buy a homesteader. However, if you enjoy manually cycling your action and know what your getting for what you're spending, this might be worth a pickup.

It's cope, I know...

​

Any questions, let me know and ill do my best to answer.

​

Yes I forgot my eyepro I am aware of my failures 😔

Sunday gunday people!

The red dot makes it trivial to land shots, and the only way I'll use my P320

Hello,

I'd like to acquire a decommissioned hunting rifle for an upcoming short film. Can you recommend any shops or sellers that have these?

I also read that if I do not have a license, that's okay provided I have the decommissioning paperwork.

Thanks for any advice!

Just wondering if anyone knows if this would be a model 12 B or C

Also a rough estimation on a sale would be appreciated

Thank you

Hey everyone. I'm looking to buy my first non .22 rifle and since I've been enamored with lever action, I'm trying to decide between the Marlin 1894 Classic and the Henry Big Boy Steel Side Gate, both in .357 Magnum. While the Marlin looks cooler (especially the finish and flushed look), I've heard that the Henry Big Boy is just as good (maybe slightly less so compared to Marlin).

But is the Marlin $400 worth better than the Henry? Want to buy one of them this week, but not sure which one to go with. I've also never shot the 357 in either - used a friend's S&W recently and felt very comfortable firing so decided to go with that one, plus keeping ammo cost in mind.

I've seen some people say they have been waiting months for a review, just wondering if I apply, how long itl take the CFO in Ontario to get it in front of them?

Are these spots from a brand new m4 normal? They didnt seem to come off with clp and wiping. Just some oil/grease/dirt came off. Any help is appreciated!

Yeeesh banning online sales, they really really wanted to go full scorched earth

Ok. First off, let's just remember that this is a pump action gun and not a semi auto so let's stop bitchibg about what the government has done to centrefire semis. With that out of the way, here are some observations after putting only a few mags of ammo down the pipe.

I'm not really into tactical style guns, but I do have a couple (Derya TM22 as well as this new Derya model in the 12 inch barrel tactical look).

​

First impressions:

​

It has a decent bit of weight to it right out of the box and is not as plasticy as I thought it would be. I was concerned that it would be a little more like a GSG16.

​

I bought this with fairly low expectations, but wanted another plinker with a little more snap than 22LR, while keeping the ammo cost low. In my opinion it really delivers. It comes with polymer flip up iron sight and the front site pin is a very nice, sharp pointed pin. The rear peep site has two different apertures , and there is also a notch site carved into the top of the smaller aperture ring.

​

Having cycled the action without firing it and without snap caps I was really concerned that it was going to be too sticky. I was pleasantly surprised to feel how it cycles much better as you're firing. Maybe the action is just loosening up after having a few rounds through it.

​

Too early for me to say if you could expect much accuracy out of it , I was just shooting off hand at twenty five yards today and I had quite a case of the wobbles. All I can say for now is that it makes the steel targets go ping and it punches holes in paper.

​

Having never loaded Glock style mags before, I was UNpleasantly surprised at how difficult these are to load after the third round. The gun comes with two magazines made by Derya and they are the only nine millimetre magazines that I have , so i'm using them for now. Needless to say that I will be buying some kind of speed loader to save wear and tear on my fingers.

​

The pump action ran smoother than I really expected it to, and the trigger exceeded my expectations as well. It's pretty good. A little bit of takeup and a little bit of creep , but consistently goes bang when you expect it to. I really enjoyed my brief shooting session with it because you really stay in contact with the gun while using the pump action.

​

That's about it for now. If you hate manual action guns, you'll hate this one. If all you want to do is shoot semi-auto as fast as you possibly can, you'll also hate this one. However, if you have reasonable expectations for the dollars you are spending on this type of gun and you enjoy cycling your action manually, it's a pretty fun piece of equipment. I'll post more after I've shot more.

​

Shoot safe, everybody.

Just got my pal, bought this little turd the same day. FTE right out of the box, after a teardown and clean it's running good. Thankfully! Wouldn't recommend as a first purchase, anyone waiting for their pal, just be patient and buy a "real" gun.
