Has anyone ordered from here in the past 6 months? They used to have great customer service and then apparently something happened about a year ago and they're pretty much a ghost business. I don't want to place a $500 order and have it disappear into the void.

Buy recommendations Is SKS still worth it at this price point?

26 Upvotes

$1200 for a French tickler seems pretty egregious. Are SKSs still worth it at this value or are there alternatives at better value points?

Application / Regulation advice Pal wait times

0 Upvotes

I submitted my PAL and RPAL application in January 2025 and I'm still waiting for a decision.

For full transparency, I disclosed on my application that I received a conditional discharge for assault and robbery charges 16 years ago. The conditional discharge was completed over 15 years ago.

It's been 13 months with no update, so I contacted my MP for assistance, but they weren't able to help. I then emailed the Premier's Office, and shortly after, I received a call from the OPP. They advised that someone would reach out within a month.

That was 3 months ago, and I still haven't heard back. Every time I call for an update, I'm told the file is "on the area officer's desk" and that they'll email the officer.

Has anyone dealt with a similar delay involving older charges and a conditional discharge? What would you recommend as the next step to get a response or move the file forward?

Edit: im in ontario

Feets / Collection / My build Updated Cooey 60

Post image
30 Upvotes

Modified my ol' Cooey quite a bit since I last posted. Ended up getting a non-functioning spares rifle for $50, so now it has some official parts!

Most of the tape was replaced with some tin plating I made by cutting up a decorative wall sign and secured with self-tapping screws; the foreplate goes over the barrel to secure it in the stock otherwise the entire action rocks. The braided steel cable is mostly for show but does add grip to an otherwise mostly smooth plate. This stock is definitely sturdy now.

The McDonald's napkins are now gone as I have a magazine tube ring and proper action screw now, as well as a factory trigger guard.

Most important are the repaired sights, so it's now shootable with some semblance of consistency in accuracy instead of guessing.

Stamped receiver M78. In typical Finnish fashion this thing chucks brass 20+ yards.

Side note I’m currently experimenting with 7.62 Galatz magazines. Wondering if the magazine geometry on Zastava M77 magazines might also work?

Fix my gun 6.5PRC magazine question

7 Upvotes

I bought a tikka ctr in 6.5PRC and a cadex short action AICS pattern chassis. Will the 300WSM / 6.5 PRC MDT Metal AICS Magazine - 7 RND work? MDT lists them as long action magazines but I called two gun stores and they said it should work fine. I was also told that if i get the standard 6.5creedmoor magazines without the binder plate I might have feeding issues.

50 Upvotes

Hey, I am again having the itch to fill the gun safe abit more. Pure investment if you ask me to be fair.

As I cry seeing all my buds in the US with their ARs, I am looking at 22s. Is the TM22 the best price/quality option out there? To be fair im only going to use it for fun because ammo is dirt cheap. Any other choices I should consider?

Feel free to tell me I'm an idiot.

Cheers

I am having a hell of a time finding leggings with belt loops in Canada for my IPSC belt...

I have only found sites that are from the US, so I am looking for any recommendations for sites or stores in Canada that sell legging/yoga pant style pants with belt loops in them!

Thank you in advance!

Buy recommendations Future Bullpup Rifles?

17 Upvotes

I'm a bullpup fanboy. I want an X-95, an MDR, RFB, anything.

I got my licence just after the 2nd OiC in Dec 2024.

I've got the Canadian 3 gun of a 12ga pump, semi auto .22, and an SKS.

With the Makasi vs Carmel in the works, am I better off a) getting either of these 2 b) waiting for a new bullpup to come to the market, or c) hoping shit changes in the future?

It’s an antique, but an extremely well maintained one. The Webley WG Army & Navy model.

Estimated date of production: 1892

6” barrel

Squared grip

Church steeple cylinder

Appears to be completely matching parts

Going to get it looked over by a gunsmith before I take it out, but I’m looking forward to taking it out for the first time.

I won a Martini Henry Mark IV at auction not long ago so I’m able to say I have the matching rifle and pistol for that time period together.

Next goal is a Swiss revolver (the M1882) to match my K31 rifle.

Fix my gun Scope blurry at maximum and minimum magnification.

8 Upvotes

Picked up a burris fullfield 2-8x. Scope was clear and fine, holding a zero on my old gun. No issues.

I buy a new gun and give the gunsmith the scope with the rings on already to install it before they close. I take the gun to shoot and I see that it's clear on ONLY 4x. Adjusting the focus only makes either the image or reticle blurry.

It also does not hold a zero after 3-5 shots.

Did the gunsmith crush the tube?
