Please post all your Gun Politics or Ban-related ideas, questions, initiatives, comments, suggestions, news articles, and recommendations in this thread. This thread recurs every 14 days.

First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

This thread is not for general politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Off-topic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about gun politics will be sent here.

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off-topic stuff, flame wars, negative generalizations against groups, personal attacks and gate-keeping will be removed. Please flag any comments to bring to the attention of mods otherwise exercise your upvoting and downvoting ability.

Exciting to see so many handgun posts lately - let’s keep it going. Recently earned my Black Badge ✔️

We recommend you try the search bar before asking common questions as they are frequently already answered elsewhere.

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.

Is there any league/ range offering training for ISSF-style competitive shooting? Asking this as an extreme beginner to the sport. I couldn't find any ranges that train Olympic level shooting online :( Am I missing any?

Hello degenerates!

Here is my humble long-range rifle build:

- Ruger American Gen II Predator in 6.5 CM
- MDT Oryx chassis in FDE
- MDT vertical grip
- MDT 12-round metal magazine
- Arken EP-5 Gen II 5-25x56 with TOR reticle in mil (just came out, apparently); Arken scope level
- CV Life bipod; just a cheap one from Amazon (25 CAD)

Happy to answer any questions for the sake of ungatekeeping!

Sorry, no feet this time - but you can check out my happy little corner at least.

Cheers!

Recently got my hands on a Derya Tm-22 Pro 12" barrel and have almost no issues with it. One thing I dislike is how the only bolt hold open is built into the magazine so when you remove the mag, the bolt closes.

I want a bolt hold open that connects to the safety of the carbine so that when you flick the safety off, it drops the bolt.

Not looking to change out the charging handle as I like the left side charge and don't want to spend $250 on a kit I don't even really want (Alex Homebrew bolt hold open)

I've done a very poor drawing here to show what I mean. Does anyone make anything like I'm describing? Or am I gonna have to buy a 3D printer and start experimenting?

Recently converted my CZ 457 from .22 WMR to .22 LR.

I knew the CZ 457 was designed to swap barrels, but I was still surprised how easy it was. The conversion took less than 30 minutes for the first time.

I picked up a .22 LR barrel, magazine and spacer for around $200. So for a small cost I added a high quality .22 LR rifle.

Pretty hard to compete with the CZ platform

308 12.5 inch

My Renegade is on the way and I'm looking for suggestion for ammo.

I went to the local Bass Pro and the lady behind the counter said she wasn't able to talk to me about the Renegade because they didn't sell it.

I know to stay away from steel ammo. Is there any bulk people recommend?
This is my first rifle, so I still have some learning to do when it comes to ammo.

I’ve been recommended to soak my bolt/firing pin of my TM22 in solvent to completely dissolve any grease etc from the factory and then add a high quality silicone lubricant to it to see if it fixes the feed issues etc.

Is it recommended to clean it just with a field stripping or should I entirely disassemble the gun and clean every last nook and cranny?

I’ve reached out to Derya in terms of warranty as it had 4 or 5 OOB detonations as well as failure to feed.

Known issues: Putting 10/10 rounds in the magazine. 8/10 feeds better so I assume that’s a spring tension issue.

CCI Blazers have FTF issues, Aguilla interceptors aren’t as bad however with the TE mag sleeves on, they were having the OOB issues as well as horrific FTF issues.

It hasn’t had a ton of extraction issues but there’s been a few that typically go hand in hand with the FTF

I’ve been planning this purchase for years. This is an earlier model factory 26 production SKS, unissued and caked in cosmoline. Same factory that made French ticklers, but these were produced in a manner closer to the original Russian manufacturing methods. Still has the chrome-lined barrel, but instead of being pinned like the ticklers it’s a threaded barrel, the hand-guard is wood instead of Bakelite, and instead of the spike bayonet it has a blade. Also a higher percentage of the parts are machined the original Russian way. Very excited to play around with this.

Romania best design 🇷🇴 holy length of pull

Does anyone what happened to Derya TM22s in the style like the ones in picture 1? I haven't been on here or looked around at gun stores in about a year. Last year I remember looking at them, was thinking of getting one but never did. Now the only ones I can find are the ones in the 2nd-4th pictures. I personally don't like the one that doesn't have the guard (rail? not actually sure what the proper name is) all the way down the barrel, or the feather. The last picture says it is a Derya TM22 Flash? Does anyone know what is different with that one than the originals in the first photo? Are the ones in the first photo still on the market and I just can't find them?
If any has some info on this, it would be appreciated.

Took my Remington 700 chambered 308 out to 475 yards today. While it was a two person effort I managed to get a great video of it through the scope! Turns out a 10 oz trigger makes form pretty irrelevant!

Found a Tikka T3X Arctic stock at an absolute STEAL of a deal at my local bricks n mortar. Only went in for some .22 ammo for the range tomorrow and ended up doing a new build on the 308 🤣

Phase 1 of the pilot produced no problems, so we're moving onto the next phase! Have fun!
