Milsurps / Prohib Need help identifying this Mauser

29 Upvotes

So I got this Mauser about a year ago, the guy wasn’t too sure what kind it was but said it was a model 24 and possibly a Persian contract. I don’t think it is since from what I’ve found FN only made 500 rifles for Iran while the rest were made by BRNO. Which leaves me wondering what kind of Mauser is this and what’s its background? The receiver has been scrubbed of markings other than the serial number and FN manufacturing stamp. The rifle is pretty bare of markings making it a tough one to identify so hopefully someone here has a clue

Misc Just Bought the Nanuk 994 Case. Need advice.

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hello people,

I just bought the Nanuk 994 case, but I am not sure whether I should keep both layers of foam or keep only one (see photo). With two layers, I feel like there is a lot of pressure on the scope and with only one layer, I fear the gun will move around.

For context, the case and the gun in it will soon travel 12 hours in the back of a truck.

Also, I would prefer not to cut out the shape of the gun into the foam as I plan to use the case for all my rifles.

Thanks in advance.

Dad surprised me today with this sweet gift for my 30th. Totally unexpected but he's known I've wanted a shockwave for years. Now it means a lot more to me.

Can't wait to hawk some slugs out of this broomstick!

Upgraded the chassis on my Remington 700 from

What is your favorite affordable round+firearm combo that isn't a .22?

Yes, ideally we get our 5.56 firearms back but I'm not counting on that so just looking for alternatives.

What's the thoughts for lever gun handle wrap preferences? Leather or paracord wrap? For running without gloves. I noticed Amazon has the Wayne's Dog leathers which look nice.

Cheers.

Application / Regulation advice Optics from US to Canada

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy a Holosun 510C and an Aimpoint PRO but they’re quite expensive north of the border here. But at Cabela’s down in freedom land, the 510C alone is $56 cheaper even with the conversion rate. With a little help of Google I found that technically you’re not allowed to bring US bought optics across the border into Canada but the Canadian border side has no issue with it.

Has anyone tried this or have any advice or experience with this? I’m always down for good deal but also don’t to get into a ton of trouble.

EDIT: upon further reflection after getting ripped in the comments, I’ve decided not to be an absolute cheap skate and buck up the extra monies and just buy it here. After all, Carney and the libs need my tax dollars to try and ban more guns 🤙

Buy recommendations Best 1st shotgun recommendation

9 Upvotes

Hi folks, its time to finally get my hands on my first shotgun.

I have been doing some research and with my knowledge on shotguns being soo little, i must admit i cant really decide on anything ive seen so far.

I mainly want one for "owning one" and maybe waterfowl hunting. Ive pretty much steered clear from shotgun after firing a 12ga slug on one of my coworker's shotty and was left traumatized xD.

Fairly new to shooting, been about 4 months with a PAL. Already got a ruger10/22, tikkat3x in 308win, and the type 56 sks. Must add a shotgun.

TLDR: looking for advice regarding a shotgun purchase. Brand,chambering and action type recommendations for a new shooter.

Thanks all!

Buy recommendations backland hunter questions

4 Upvotes

Hi there. I've been curios about the backland hunter due to it's specific style. I've been in the market for a new firearm for a bit. I've been deciding on the backland hunter, mk15, and the carmel. I know that the backland hunter has had some issues with customers and other review posts. But like i mentioned. It's current style of how it looks really intrigues me. Please let me know if it's worth dumping over 2,000 on the mk15 or better to get the backland hunter.

Misc Renewing my license, cannot find where to pay for it ?

14 Upvotes

Hey all, I feel like my mom trying to find something on the internet, but I renewed my PAL, but forgot to pay for the renewal itself.

I'm no longer on the renewal page and I cannot seem to find the section to pay for it online.

The renewal is in process, but I have until September 6th to pay for it. I'll give them a call after work, but the RCMP portal is so barebones that it's tough to find the page.

Thanks in advance !

Application / Regulation advice Youth Charges and Acquiring PAL

0 Upvotes

Burner account for privacy purposes.

Hello,

When I was 17 I was very immature and did some very stupid things. I was charged with, and pleaded guilty to manufacturing and possessing a firearm, as well as some other charges.

Now I’m 20 and I’ve completely turned my life around. I’ve completed my sentence, am in university, and am looking to get my PAL & RPAL before they start banning more guns. I don’t have a firearms prohibition order (thankfully), but I’m worried that since my access period is still open (until 2031), when I check yes under the “have you been charged in the last 5 years” section, they will look at my charges and probably deny the application.

The main reason for this post is I’m not sure how the access period and sealed records actually work for PAL applications and I can’t find any information for this that is pertinent to youth charges.

Will they always be able to see my charges since it’s the RCMP and a firearm related application? If so, then what difference would it make if I apply now vs after the record is sealed, I would rather get denied now than waste 5 years anticipating and get denied then. Conversely, if they are unable to see my charges after the access period ends, I’m scared that if I apply now, the denial and reason for denial will permanently be recorded in the RCMP database, potentially affecting future applications.

I hope that my mistakes in the past won’t permanently bar me from the privilege of owning firearms, and I hope to become one of you guys soon.

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Edit: A guy actually reported me to a CFO 💀. What a tool. It’s a good thing it would be a criminal offence to try and identify me
