Misc Wish me luck. My gun is on its way back to me from the warranty depot.

13 Upvotes

A couple of weeks ago I boxed up and sent my Uberti Silver Boy 22LR to the warranty depot in Ontario. Between failure to fire and failure to properly eject, this gun's malfunction rate was around fifty percent, with four types of ammo.

I got an email today saying that the gun is fixed and the problems were solved by shortening the firing pin spring. Communication from Stoeger Canada and their warranty service procedure has been excellent. If this solves the problems I'll count myself lucky and try to forget about the $100 that I paid for shipping and insurance. I'll post another update once I have it back and am able to run a couple of hundred rounds through it.

Buy recommendations First Shotgun?

Post image
27 Upvotes

Hi all I’ve been looking at buying my first firearm and think I want to pickup a 12g semi auto shotgun. But I can’t decided I’ve seen so many options but I really don’t want to spend more than $1500 CAD on it.

I have friends telling me you can’t buy anything decent semi autos for less then $2500 but then I have other buddies telling me not to spend that much and you can get a good semi for $600!!?

Idk what to believe anymore but I feel like just under $1500 is the sweet spot I’m happy to spend that and I’ve seen a bunch of options for under that price point.

Right now what’s really caught my eye is the Beretta Shotgun A300 Ultimate 12 Gauge, 28" Barrel, 3" Chamber. But even tho it’s a good name and has a long reputation I’ve seen so many reviews complaining of having to send it back for warranty work then it becomes a good gun…

If I wanted to save a little money I also was considering the Stoeger M3000 as my buddy said for the price it’s one of the better semis you can buy. Obviously both of these options are very different.

Would love to know everyone’s opinion on these or if you see any other options fitting. I’m mainly looking for a do it all shotgun. I want to try turkey hunting some waterfowl and skeet.

Disclaimer:

I do not support Colt Canada and what they are doing, however this is not a political circlejerk, so please keep that shit in the Megathread, because my posts are not grounds for political discussion unless it is DIRECTLY related to the firearms.

Anyways with that out of the way.

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we got something that used to be around in Canada before being listed as prohibited.

The one and only!

Colt 9mm

Also includes AR9’s which is the main topic of this thread. So if you had an AR9, chances are that you could have used either Colt mags or Glock mags in yours depending on how you had it set up.

These also make perfect hiking guns and truck guns when you need to be on patrol.

Anyways that’s today’s post.

Enjoy!

It’s finally here! Such a cool rifle. I kind of like the straight-pull action. It’s the 16”, and now I just need to get a scope, grip, tripod, etc.

I will say that it was really easy to fit the MRX magazine. It was snug at first, but after shaving off a little material with a sharp knife, it fit just fine.

I’ve had the chance to shoot AR-15s, a SCAR, and a Sig Sauer Spear in the States before, and I actually like how lightweight the MKII feels compared to those.

Any advice here from MKII owners?

Buy recommendations Deciding on ammo

9 Upvotes

So I’m between two options right now.
I found a deal from a private seller for 1100 rounds of 556 and 223. Totalling about 600 rounds of brass cased 556, and 500 rounds of steel cased 223 for 550.
And online FOC has 1000 rounds of green tip PMC 556 for about 625.

So deciding which option is better, private seller ammo was stored in its original boxes in the basement with a dehumidifier. FOC stuff is of course brand new.
What option would you guys pick?

Ok ok. Im new. Like I got my license in the mail yesterday new.

I know almost nothing. Although I already know that those who know don't like this gun. Ok. But it's my first piece, and I got it for free from a friend by helping them out, and it hasn't seen a single shot fired yet. Brand new. I cut the tag off today.

...it's a Federation SPM-12

I've got questions. Go easy on me.

1) I leaned in my gun safety course that I match the head stamp with the data stamp. But wtf, I can't find the data stamp. Unless the info is buried within the serial

number I don't know what ..inch (?) of the shell is. And I feel like it's not cool to share the serial number? Online searches assume 3" but I need to be sure.

2) Even though I got this second hand, why can I find a manual online??

3) What the heck is this switch for in the second picture?

4) I assume these are my chokes in the third picture. I don't really know how to differentiate them. Whatever comes stock has this, I assume flash suppressor (see pic 4), seemingly welded to the stock choke. How do I know which choke is which and transfer the flash suppressor?

Announcement Caution: Increase of Reddit Admin Actions/Activity

134 Upvotes

TL;DR: Admins feathers are getting ruffled. Stop posting links to guns and gun parts, be mindful of edgy jokes, otherwise Reddit Admins man smack you with the ban hammer, and there's nothing us subreddit admins can do if Reddit admins ban you.

Full: Hey, everyone! I'm just writing this post as the mod team has seen a nearly tenfold increase in Reddit Admin actions in this sub in just the last week alone.

First off, you may be asking, "What the hell do you mean by "Reddit Admin actions"?". Well, as it may imply to some, it basically means Reddit Admin gods giving us their blessing condemnation of certain users and sending them straight to hell Reddit jail for prolonged periods of time, or even permanently.

Most of these Admin actions were triggered by users posting links to sites that sell guns and gun parts. Now, that's already against the rules, and we mods remove it under rule 6 when we see it or when it gets flagged/reported, BUT, even though you get the message that "mods have removed your comment", your comment is actually still "live" to Reddit admins if you don't manually delete the comment yourself.

We had an recent bizarre example where even though us subreddit admins took enforcement action against a user for posting links to gun ads 11 days ago, Reddit Admins notified us TODAY that they "removed their comment" and suspended their account, even though it was already removed by me literally 30 mins after the user commented the offending link.

We've also seen other bizarre enforcement actions from admins, targeting obvious jokes within our community, with comments such as:

"You won’t take my tim cards and now you insult me on Reddit, f* k you too and s *k my nUt filled cheeks".

and

"U SHOLD NOT HAVE GUNB BC GUNVS ARE BADD AND IF NOONE HAS A GUNT EVRY1 IS SAFE OVIOUSLY CRIMINALS R GETTING GUBS FROM LEGEL GUT OWNERZ SO U NEED 2 GIV UP UR GUNZ FOR NO $$$ BC IT’S THE RITE THING 2 DO IF U WAN OWN GUDS GO 2 USA!!!!1 COPS R RIGHTWING FASCIST THATS Y THEY DONT WANT 2 HELP W BAN!!!111. ONING GUNBS MAKES TEH CHANCES OF GETING SHOOT BY GUN GO UP 1,000,00000,000%!!!!1111. Y WOLD U WAN 2 OWN A GUM JUS PLAY COD OR SMH LIEK 4 REAL!!!111"

being removed by Reddit Admins days later and having the users' accounts suspended.

So please, be mindful of what you post/comment. If Reddit Admins think it's "edgy," spam or trolling, it's possible Admins may smack you with a ban hammer, and if they do, WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT. If your content is removed by us for violating sub rules, please consider deleting your comment so you don't get smacked by Reddit admins days later. These rules are here so that we protect you from having your account nuked.

Thanks, gunnies!

News / Politics / Activism Spoke to Sask cfo office regarding asfcp

34 Upvotes

To sum it up

  1. Sask doesn’t support , and will not contribute resources or tax dollars to the federal confiscation scheme .Unless the feds come up with a way to collect firearms in Sask, none will be collected and shipped out. 2. The Sask exemption program allows people affected by the ban to have their item given a fair value , and they have tasked a professional to do this valuation. When the amnesty ends , owners with the exemption don’t need to worry and can keep their guns.
    Owners are able to keep their property but basically not eligible for compensation unless the gov figures their shit out, and if that ever happens (unlikely) at least owners who are willing will have a document to say what their guns are worth at a fair price.

They , or at least the person I spoke to, share the sentiment of basically everyone on here. Most of this info is already public knowledge but it was a solid no in regard to participation in the program.
