Fix my gun Sulun spas 12 takedown instructions are outdated

Thumbnail

22 Upvotes

Anyone got a good takedown video for it?

Seems the newer model’s magazine spring is locked in place and the instructions are for the old model. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the magazine spring off.

Instructions and actual firearm in photos for reference.

Also the pins above the trigger group are impossible to remove I’ve taken a punch and a hammer to them and they won’t budge.

EDIT:

Ok I figured out the issue.

The instructions say to twist and pull out the charging handle. On the gen2, the charging handle comes out with a straight pull when it’s moved back about halfway. Mine was stuck (like almost everything on this gun).

The actual bolt and firing pin hold together the action spring. You can’t disassemble it fully without removing the bolt and firing pin.

I put the gun into pump mode, and used the handguard to pull the bolt back about half way. Then used a pair of pliers to yank out the charging handle.

At this point I was able to follow the remaining steps as normal.

I was unable to remove the trigger group because the rear pin holding it in is completely stuck, I tried a punch and hammer to get it out with no luck. I think I need a press or something to get it loose. Already scratched the shit out of the side of the gun with the hammer and punch method.

Buy recommendations Ruger Gunsite Scout Scope Switch

Post image
43 Upvotes

Hey everyone, first off not my picture just one off the internet.

Picked up a gunsite scout and have been considering switching from the front mounted scout scope to a traditional mounted lpvo and full rail. In my opinion an lpvo is just a modern evolution of the scout concept and since the ruger takes box mags the whole feeding the gun with stripper clips thing is moot.

A big reason I’m even considering this route is so I can run a top mounted red dot and still fire with NVG’s on.

Anyone switch over their scout or just have general info on any upgrades or work you did to yours?

Buy recommendations Beginner looking for advice on buying a Mossberg 590A1 online

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m new to firearms. I recently got my license and went to a range to try out a few different guns. I’d like my first firearm to be a Mossberg 590A1 (the basic model; as a white belt in firearms I probably am not ready for upgrades like Magpul furniture, etc.).

I’m going to buy online because the closest local shops are 5–6 hours away, and none of them have the 590A1. There is a reddit post that lists all major gun shops in Canada. I've narrowed my options down to these: RDSC, GoTenda, Firearms Outlet Canada, G4C, and Reliable Guns. My requirements are as follows: Excellent customer service and communication (esp after sale, how they handle problems and warranty issues), integrity (won't send me a returned/used gun), good packaging and safe shipping.

Most of them offer free shipping since the price is over $500. RDSC charges around $20 for shipping, but I don’t mind paying a little extra if they have a better reputation for customer service and overall reliability. The 590A1's price also varies by roughly $10–$30 between these retailers, but that is okay.

Please share your thoughts as to where I should buy from. Thank you!

This is my build I am hoping to compete with locally next year if my spine allows it. It is a CZ457 MDT XRS combo with a MDT 20MOA rail and vortex precision rings. The scope is a vortex optics venom 5-25x56 FFP in MRAD. I put an Arca rail segment on the bottom with an mlok section exposed. I have three of the MDT mlok weights on the forend and will eventually be getting the XRS internal weight as well. The bipod is an MDT GRND-POD bipod. I have only shot it a few times at 50 yards with RWS Club match but it shoots spectacularly. Should be able to get some wicked testing done whether or not to stick with RWS or to go with Eley or something in the SK range if I can ever find it.

Let me know what you guys think.

But they have heard nothing in regards to any updates. Seems like the Redditors here have all the inside scoops

TR45 Micro just came in today, double action pull is heavy, probably needs to be broken in. Took off the cheek riser and the flip up sights that it came with.

It seems pretty solid, bought some 45 colt and 410 to give it a go soon. Hopefully the blow back of gasses isn’t too bad, I’ll remove the blast shield on the right side if it seems like it’s a bit much after a few rounds.

Imo I think it’d look so much better with a fixed z-style stock but this is cool too.

Misc Details of 9mm guns coming to Canadian Markets

75 Upvotes

Semi Auto (R9C coming in Nov-Dec)

  • RCMP accepts that R9 is not a variant of AR-15 (DUH!)
  • BUT because SRI shipped R9 recievers to US for use in machine pistols, RCMP thinks it is ... a pistol... Go figure! LOL!
  • New variant of original R9 called R9C is coming in Nov-Dec, which is incompatible with whatever they ship in US. It will get new FRT.
  • People having R9 Prohib will be able to ship their gun to SRI (cost borne by owners) to convert to new R9C which will be NR.

Lever Action

  • New lever action coming in the same time frame in 9mm
  • Will have barrel of 10inch and 14inch
  • Glock Mag
  • Will allow customization
  • Price should be less than 1500 CDN (Ouch!)
  • Later they will add 10 mm and 45ACP, already shipping in USA
  • They want to add a proprietary mag later. Becuase I guess Glock ones will be restricted to 10. So we may get a level action with detachable mag having more than 10 capacity.

Buy recommendations What would you buy with a $1500 budget if you were new to guns?

16 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm going to turn 18 and upgrade from my minors pal to a full pal in a couple months here, and I'm starting to think about which guns I am going to buy. I have a budget of $1500 and am looking to get the following guns for the following reasons:

-Centerfire Rifle (Deer/Elk hunting, target shooting) Budgeting about ~$700 (With scope)

-Shotgun (Upland game bird hunting, trap/skeet) Budgeting about ~$500

-.22 (Small game and plinking) Budgeting about ~$300

As of now, I am considering the following

-Ruger American Gen 1/Glenfield Model A paired with a Vortex Triumph HD 3-9x40mm

-Used Benelli Nova or new Winchester SXP or Mossberg 500

-10/22?

I'm curious what recommendations you all have to offer. Even if you just had a budget of $1500 and throw my considerations out the window, what would you get? Open to any and all discussion, thanks!
