Anyone else pick up one of these switch-mode clones of the Benelli M3 Super 90, 12 ga shotgun on discontinued clearance? They are now priced $300 under the past retail price, selling on clearance (with lifetime warranty) from Tactical Imports for just $599 CAD.

I am really quite impressed thus far. By all accounts, the semi-auto mode has proven to be reliable with High Velocity bulk 1 Oz slug rounds as well as 00 Buckshot loads and even 5/8 Oz Birdshot rounds. For less lethal rounds and the like simply switch to Pump-Action Mode with a flick of the spring-loaded collar for manual operation.

I replaced my conventional fixed Buttstock for a Black Diamond brand M4 style telescoping length Buttstock with an adjustable Length of Pull. Much better fit! I also added an extended Bolt Release Lever and Charging Handle along with the factory-optional Picatin̈ny Top Rail. Last but certainly not least was a Mossberg 500 Bayonet Mount from Canadian Safety Source in NS, which clamped on perfectly to the Turknelli Magazine Tube....

This is a LOT of Shotgun for $600. A LOT of Shotgun. I highly recommend it at the current price point. Heck, buy two of them and keep one as a spare.....

Considering purchasing this, any advice on the optics or the magazine?

MKII owners, can I use this for shots beyond 100m? Is the vortex optic reliable enough for that?

Is there anything else I should add to my cart?

Intersurplus and Gunpost scrap parts fusion:

Swedish Husqvarna M98 receiver

Spanish FR8 barrel and brake in 308

Swedish CG 63 stock

British Lee Enfield front sight and ears

Norwegian rear peep sight

Little to no wind @ 50 yards.

Thinking about grouse hunting this fall. Is this good enough to do a bit head snipping?

Not sure if this is allowed on the sub but I saw this pop up, If anyone lives in the area and is interested in trying out the IWI Carmel before purchasing it I think this would be a great opportunity! Easthill Outdoors is in Clarington ON

First time out with m59/66..really liking it so far!

Seems a little more finicky with seating bullets.. had the odd jam.

This is with a hot barrel 300 rnds in..

2 groupings of 20 rnds (norinco 1964)

@120 yards

But it cycles fine!

I just picked up this very slightly used Ithaca Gun Company Model 37/87 Deerslayer Police Special, manufactured in 1987. The previous owner fired one magazine of shells, cleaned it, then stored it for 40 years! An amazing find in an exceedingly rare Military and Police configuration with the 7-shot magazine for 2 3/4",12ga shells.

As the title states, I recently got that firearm. Been taking it out to the range and even doing a little skeet with it lol, but I'm pretty sure I need to drop the stock a bit. It sits a bit too high on my shoulder and for it to sit more naturally, I have to tip my head unnaturally to accommodate. L

But, the firearm didn't come with a shim kit, unlike another shotgun I own. I also can't find a shim kit for it, but the instruction manual has instructions for adding shims. What recourse do I have here? Should I take it to a gunsmith for fitting?

It's super fun to shoot but for me to have my head not tilted and stuff while looking down the sight, it basically just hammers my collarbone area lol.

With the release of the Backland Hunter Elite, MK-15, and Carmel, I wanted to talk parts.

I haven’t pre-ordered but decided the Makasi will be my next buy, dropping the M1 Garand to second place in my buy queue. I’ve been watching reviews and a currently planning a build. While the Makasi is NOT AT ALL LIKE THE AR-15 IN FORM OR FUNCTION, I wanted to see if anyone more savvy than I can comment on the handguard compatibility and overall potential parts market for new semi-autos hitting stores?

I’ve seen reviews comparing aspects of thethe handguard hardware to geissele offerings and there’s a photo from a SIG forum where an American swapped the handguard on the pistol variant of the Makasi (makes me interested in the restricted models IRG is importing). How difficult would this sort of swap be?

What about the BH or Carmel? Hoping we continue to get new and fun firearms that we can actually use spare parts on or upgrade.

Wondering what options are out there on the Canadian market for a 16-18" barrel for an MRA Renegade that would be accurate with a wide variety of factory ammo (kinda similar to what the Ruger American rifles can achieve). I want to avoid getting something that's really picky on what ammo it likes.

Budget-friendly is ideal but willing to consider mid-tier options as well. If the stock barrel works fine then that works as well.

Super breezy morning at the range but always nice to get out. Tried out the new Tech Sights on the 10/22 and will need to zero them on a better day.

Been looking to buy myself a lever action rifle finally. I see FOC has this henry big boy on sale for what seems like a decent price.

Anyone have experience shooting these? Or have any recommendations on what I should buy? Looking to spend no more than $1500.

Preferably id get something i can shoot with a .44 special or .38 special round but this price for the .45 colt seems like a good buy.

Thanks!

Found this on the government auction website lol.

All the brass you could ever want. No idea if it’s reloadable or not, but I got a chuckle out of approximately 43k lbs of brass, what it would be like to shoot that much of it lol.

Do you ever really put your gear through it's paces?Obviously its a great time going out on the range, ripping through mortgage payments worth of ammo in the sun and short sleeves.

Im talking about going out shooting when its so damn cold out the air stings the moment it hits skin and the idea of loading a magazine is the worst thing you could possibly imagine. Going out when its raining, windy, just overall miserable. Getting your gear dirty.

One of the most reliable pistols i own, north of 5000 rounds on it and i can't remember a time where i had a genuine failure that wasn't mag spring related or some kind of user error teaching new shooters. I had it out this winter, one of the coldest days all winter, way colder than ever shot in before, and it wouldn't fire 3 rounds without a stoppage. I've only ever used the same products to clean and oil my guns for years now and everything else ran as expected. Just racking the slide you could tell it felt way more stiff and sluggish than it should've. Once i got home, going to take it apart and see whats up, it ran just as smooth as butter.

So i guess don't always assume your most reliable gear is always going to be the most reliable in every condition.

I honestly can't wait to try and replicate that this winter to figure out why it suddenly became a liability in the cold. It felt like its oil was getting tacky in the cold, but none of my other guns were getting that, using the same exact bottle of oil in the same conditions.

I'm sure there's lots of stories like that out there of our gear surprising us in the worst ways lol

Got my pal a few months ago and I’ve been scared to buy my first gun, then finally at a Canadian tire, a very nice dude spent some time and went over a bunch of them with me.

I want to get a Mossberg 590A1 Compact, out of all of them it felt natural and very nicely balanced.

I am planning a trip to the range (never owned a gun, shot one or been close to them other than gaming ).

Anyone have any inputs about it ? I am going to be 3-4 times a year at the range and then going hunting. I am not crazy into guns, but wanted something decent and based on the seller this is the best bang for my buck.

Thank you!

🦶🏻🦶🏻

I'm ready for cacodemon season. Sorry for no feet pics. Big toenails about to fall off. Don't want the world to see that horror. Too bad I cant fire all three barrels at once.

Stuck with this decision. Love iron sights, but also just bought a new 1-4 lpvo which of course needs to be further back so I can't keep the backup irons.

Other options to consider. A quick detach Cantilever might let me keep the irons, and just pop of the scope at the range when I want to shoot irons. Or I have a more notch and post sight I can pop on further down the rail and just remove the scope when I want to shoot irons.

Or just stop obsessing about irons and shoot my gun at 1x if I really want

If anyone is looking for full time work right now and lives in Halton/Peel region in Ontario. The Georgetown Canadian Tire is hiring for a new pro-shop associate who has experience with firearms/hunting. They want people to apply in person for this position though. I took a photo of the wanted ad at the store when I was there recently.

Mods.....feel free to remove this post if you deem it not relevant. Thanks.

Maybe if they make a long handguard for us canadians it won't looks so weird?

Bought a SCSA Taipan .223. Just read the manual, and it says you need to do a multi-step cleaning, shoot, cleaning, shoot, clean, shoot, etc. until you’ve shot 50 rounds.

Is this really necessary? We don’t have a range near us. We are booked for June 7 at a range 2 hours away. I didn’t know about this breaking in process, and now I fear I’m going to be wasting my 1.5 hours at the range just doing this.

Can anyone please advise?

Just picked up a Benelli R1 in 308 as I was not happy with the accuracy with my Browning BAR MK3. Super happy with it. Comfortable accurate shooter. Getting about 1.25moa with Hornady American whitetail 150gr. I notice it does not like heavier bullets because of the slower 1:11 twist. So maybe I'll find bullets the gun likes even more with more testing. Trigger has mush on the first stage but a light clean break at the wall. Put about 60 rounds without any feeding issues yet.

Using an Arken EP 1-8X LVPO on it.
