Is anyone still waiting on their 22LR Handgun Transfer Approval? It seems like the RCMP Firearms Centre CFO is either not processing them or taking a very long time to do so especially for US imports. Anyone else still waiting from a month ago?

$2500 on the dot so not even a flip

While I am waiting for the preorder Carmel to arrive. I decided to pulled the trigger on this Turkish ***. I am really regrets about the decision I made. It is sh*t, bought it from Tenda and tried to return or exchange it but they told me to contact the manufacturer. So the problem is the barrel nut always
gets loose just after firing less the 40 rounds PMC 223 ammo. The grouping at 100 yards are mysterious so I realized it’s because the barrel is moving so I hand tightening the barrel nut really tight and went back to the range again and it is still getting loose, Handguard is also get loose easily. I put the blue loctite on the muzzle brake so is not loose now. I am not sure if I loctite the barrel nut will be helpful. Seems a lot of people bought it so I would like to know if you have the same issues and how you solve the issue.

WWII history piece from Sweden…looking hear your comments and experience with this rifle.

What the title says:
If a Crypto is an AR variant, then Crypto upper ought to be prohibited as well, right? ...seeing as AR uppers were prohibited way back in 2020('21?)

Then how come this is on gunpost? No shade. I just want to know if my interpretation is right.

Thanks for the time.

Alright, here goes. 3rd firearm ever. Got it for 599 plus tax from gundealer. Chinese sks. Stock aint that bad. All numbers match except the bolt handle.

Growing up this was the only firearm ive seen being used the most around me and had my PAL only so i could own one(other reasons too but most prominent is this).

Touching my very own for the first time literally made me tear up and i cant exaggerate the feeling at all.

Who knows whats in store for tomorrow, rather buy one than cry for not being able to own one ever. Thanks to all you guys and gals for really kicking out my indecision and getting me convinced to get one.

Super pumped to have picked up this 590r chisel. Pun intended.

I grabbed a couple 6 round shell holders off amazon and got them mounted. On the receiver and the stock. OSight had a sale on the new se dpp so I picked one of those up aswell. I need to pick up a proper adaptor for it before I can actually use it but this printed one is good for mock up. Removed the the plastic cover for the chisel sight adaptor and was able to move the Magpul mbuis back a few slots. Have a carlsons rifled choke tube on the way and plan on adding a +1 tube extension and a ms1 sling. Over all pretty happy with this purchase. And yes I left the yellow mossberg tube cover on just piss people off

I prefer velcro from Perroz Designs (no i dont work for them nor get a kickback), but theres no place on this firearm to mount one.

Anyone know of a 3 or 4 round mlok shell holder that doesnt include a pic rail? I don't want matchsaverz as they are only one extra shell, and i have a few, although I'll have to go with that if I must.

I don't have the KS7 carry handle. The Defender model I have doesn't come with it.

Any thoughts on on-board ammo carry are welcome. Thanks

Currently run a vortex triumph on my 556 (I love it)

Thought I would order a simmons pro target dot because I liked the design and too give other brands a try, also it was a good price ($100) for my 22lr. Box was sealed brand new but turned up like this with a smudge/haze on the inside of the rear lens...

Canadians Are Buying More Guns

Like it or not, many people feel safer with a firearm at home

Gun licence applications are on the rise in the Greater Toronto Area. Between 2016 and 2025, the number of applicants for possession and acquisition licences, or PALs—the permits that allow Canadians to buy firearms—have increased by nearly 50 per cent. In some parts of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, like the eastern suburb of Peel, they’ve more than doubled. And southern Ontario isn’t the only place where this is happening. The number of PAL licence holders across Canada is quickly nearing 2.5 million, the highest count on record.

For a lot of Canadians, this doesn’t square with our self-image. Our gun culture—or supposed lack thereof—has always been a major way we differentiate ourselves from the U.S. We tell ourselves that, unlike our trigger-happy southern neighbours, firearms in Canada aren’t a cornerstone of our lives or our Constitution. To a certain extent, this is true.

In the past few decades, as American gun culture became more strident, Canada has enacted a series of ever-stricter gun-control laws. In 1995, Parliament passed a landmark bill introducing universal licensing for all firearms and a registry to track them. After the 2020 rampage shooting in Nova Scotia, the Trudeau government outlawed more than 1,500 models and variants of firearms. That list was expanded in 2024, and again by the Carney government in March of this year. In 2022, Canada also put a freeze on handgun sales. Compared to America’s open-carry laws, which allow grocery shoppers to carry handguns as they buy their broccoli, Canada is obviously tame by comparison.

But it would be wrong to say that this country has no gun culture. I know because I’m part of it. I shot a rifle for the first time as a Boy Scout when I was 12 years old. Now I shoot recreationally at a range near my home in Ontario. I’m part of the seven per cent of Canadian adults who own guns. It’s a number far lower than America’s 32 per cent, but it’s certainly not nothing.

People are buying guns now for different reasons than they did a few decades ago. In the ’70s, only 20 per cent of Americans said they owned a gun for self-defence, with the vast majority using their firearms for hunting. Nowadays, self-defence is the main motivation for more than 75 per cent of gun owners. A similar trend followed in Canada: in 2023, 30 per cent of gun-owning Canadians said self-defence was their primary reason for owning a gun, up from only six per cent in the late 1990s.

Gun ownership is also changing demographically: the days when gun owners were almost exclusively older white men like myself are gone, and the gender, age and racial makeup of the gun-owning public is looking a lot more like that of Canada’s general population. Since the 1980s, women have been the fastest-growing demographic of gun owners, now representing 13 per cent of them.

The rise of gun ownership is a natural consequence of a world that seems a lot scarier than it used to. I recently spoke with a man who said he’d been considering getting his firearms licence for some time, but Trump’s threats to make Canada the 51st state finally pushed him over the edge. The link between threatening events and gun ownership is clear. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, gun purchases in both the U.S. and Canada rose significantly. In Canada, our safe storage regulations mean most guns are kept in locked boxes or safes, making their self-defence capabilities pretty meagre. But for many people, simply owning a gun offers a feeling of security.

Gun ownership is also on the rise among newcomers. Many move to Canada from countries where guns are more strictly regulated and want to take advantage of the freedom to own a firearm. On the flip side, some newcomers come from places where guns are the norm. In Pakistan, for example, there’s a strong hunting culture, and firearm ownership is common. Turkey has a massive small arms industry, and guns have a deep symbolic value. It’s why the Turkish president gifted Mark Carney a revolver at the NATO summit in July.

The growth in licensing and ownership is partly due to the rising popularity of tactical sports, like 3-Gun or IPSC, which simulate combat, and which have spread largely via social media. Entirely new demographics are being exposed to the idea of gun ownership, disrupting the traditional model, which relied on family members passing down skills and firearms. At my rural gun range, the mix of members and guests reflects these changing demographics.

We’ll never have a gun culture like the U.S. Our licensing laws, training requirements and other restrictions prevent it from taking hold, even if there was an appetite for it. We have no second amendment enshrining the right to bear arms or castle law to protect gun-wielding homeowners. Nor do we have a historic cowboy culture to look back on. By and large, Canadian gun owners are also proud of our safety culture. They know that when people get killed by guns, gun control ramps up. So safety measures aren’t viewed as an imposition, but rather common-sense rules that make the use of guns safer for all of us.

But what we are getting closer to is a culture where, like in the U.S., guns are a flavour of normal. In rural areas, this has always been true, but more and more city-dwellers are now interested in guns. The idea of owning them has always been framed in Canada as something deviant—a bad behaviour reserved for those with malicious intent. This is changing. And as the world gets more dangerous, or at least feels like it, Canada’s conventional wisdom on guns will keep shifting toward greater acceptance.

Anyone else try this out? Using an old car tire as a spalling catcher for your steel gongs. Saves the wood of your home-made target boxes thats for sure, I don't think I had any go through even after smacking the gong a couple of times with the .308

Original No5 buttstock put aside for safe keeping.

Got on gunpost for 400, 1954 tula Russian I think. After 2 months of PAL now my fourth gun

Been working on some fun 22 builds in my free time. What have you guys been up to lately?

I’m having a firing issue with my Henry. It works occasionally but it may take 3 or 4 tries to fire a round. I think the firing pin needs to be replaced. Is there anywhere in southern Ontario along the 401 corridor that I can take this to for repairs or parts? Thanks!

Built in progress, still need a charging handle kit, rip my wallet....
