From the beginning, the "ASFCP" has included two ominous footnotes alluding to how they're going to violate gun owners that declare their property.
- "Compensation is not guaranteed"
And, should you reside in AB or SK
- "Individuals who live in Alberta or Saskatchewan should consult their provincial government for laws or regulations put in place that may impede or limit their participation in the program."
Now, we know there is a licensing scheme for potential private collection agents in the Alberta legislation. I have not looked into SK.
Should you contact the AB CFO, you will learn the Federal government has not applied for any confiscation agent licensing.
So, the very obvious indication here is that they intend to wash their hands of responsibility in these two provinces and leave any owners who declared property to face the end of the amnesty with no option but to deactivate or surrender their property.
Absolutely shameful how this program has been handled.
Went down to the BRRC open house range day event and got to shoot the TM22 .22 lr, the RSO seemed pretty impressed but I can't tell if this is actually good or if he's just trying to recruit me lol. He did mention that the sights were not zeroed in, so maybe that’s why it’s a bit high? 10 rounds for reference
So the owner states in my review that he’s never seen an email from me even though I have an entire thread with them. He also says I can call today and get a refund. Well I’ve already requested one in writing twice, and left a voicemail with no replies. After he or another older man who works there answered the phone the first time I called, I was told they were to be shipped out on Friday. when it wasn’t and the next week was underway, they wouldn’t answer any phone call from me, funny enough, I got a friend to call 10 mins after I had and they picked up immediately. After he asked for the hours and told me they answered I called them right away and sure enough, no answer.
Beware of ordering from this company. Worst customer experience, lying in their own reviews, and refusing to send a refund upon request.
Has anyone had any issues flying w basic firearm parts in their checked bags? I'm mostly worried I'll end up spending half an hour filling out forms and paying more than the magazine is worth to get it on the plane.
I've settled on a Tikka T3X as my first hunting rifle - shocking right?
I want one with either a stainless or cerakoted barrel, as well as a threaded barrel (ideally with muzzle brake included).
Two such variants exist within my budget, and I'm having a hard time choosing which one to go for.
Pros - a bit cheaper, 4 inch shorter barrel (could be a con?). Would feel less annoyed if I swapped the action into a different chasis.
Cons - 7lbs. On backorder with no firm ETA.
I'm sure either rifle would be awesome, and last along time and drop deer no problem. I just love researching gear and feeling 100% in my purchase choice.
Do you have one of these? Another suggestion in this price range? A pro or con I missed? Let me know, I'd love to hear it.
Update:
Bought the Roughtech. If you own it, did you replace the bolt next to the sling stud with another sling stud?
I bought a tm22 currently cleaning the factory lube out and I’m thinking if I should remove the left side extractor cause I heard it increases reliability but some tm22 a run perfectly fine if u just leave it in.
Hey guys, looking to get a new scope for the upcoming hunting season. I'm deciding between a Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44mm Scope with BDC Reticle, Burris Fullfield 4-16×50 Ballistic E3, or a Burris Signature HD 3-15x44mm Ballistic E3 Illuminated SFP Scope. The Viper and Fullfield 4 is around the same price but the Signature HD is about $100 more.
I don't care too much for the extra feature of illumination for the extra hundred. More about clarity and ease of use. Any advise is appreciated. I'm fairly new and my current scope is a 3-9x40mm Vortex Diamondback Tactical. I don't find it terrible but I do feel that the clarity could be better
Wanted to start a leaderboard or some kind of friendly competition that also benefits our community!
The idea: some kind of pinned megathread or leaderboard for how many new shooters we’ve brought into the sport. Any ideas are welcome too!
I got the idea recently as I’ve been thinking about how my personal shooting community has grown significantly.
In my personal circle I’ve managed to get 5 people into shooting in under a year. Either they’ve begun the process to acquire their PAL and RPALs or they’ve already bought their first firearm.
Would be cool to see how high we could pump those numbers up. It benefit small business in the sport shooting and hunting communities, as well as our safety course instructors.
Biggest bonus is that the more licenses and lawful firearms owners per capita we’ve got, the harder it is for government to continue pushing current gun control misinformation onto the public. Our voice grows and we gain more advocacy in the media, etc.
IMO, much of what we’ve suffered through politically was made possible because of the public’s lackadaisical response to the LPC’s post-2019 gun control and public safety agendas. Hard to make waves when nobody knows or cares about what’s going on, so every new shooter we get is another educated person who can spread the word and to serve as a constituent an MP needs to consider for reelection.
It's distinct enough from an AR-180 already, but could do with a few extra design changes just in case. Even though there's no companies actually making AR-16 clones I've still had this question floating in my mind for a bit. What do you guys think?
