Application / Regulation advice Handgun Ban & SCC

36 Upvotes

I am seeing mixed messaging on here and wanted to get some clarification. Would the handgun freeze be lifted if CCFR wins at the Supreme Court of Canada? I thought the handgun freeze was a law now, and so that would be unaffected if the OICs were overturned?

Therefore the only way to actually acquire handguns in the future would be if a new government came in and removed the law.

Please correct me wherever necessary here

Fix my gun MDT 20 moa rail + MDT 1.25" Scope Rings ?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys I wanted to know what does it sound to you. I’m looking to buy a rifle that comes with a picatiny rail that has been replaced by a 20moa one from MDT. The owner says that it helps with long range.

Now I’ve already bought a 1.25" scope rings on a entry level precision scope; does it sound alright? I don’t know anything yet about scope height and setup theory. I just want to know if I have to change something or if it’s totally alright?

I’m planning to learn and practice long range shooting this year and I don’t have a lot of amateur/experienced people around me.

Additional info : I have a more hunter oriented chassis that I will swap the precision chassis with to go hunting with the said rifle. Id keep the same scope/rail setup, but it will not shoot long distance like once a year. Would it be alright in the case a 20moa rail + 1.25" scope rings are paired together?

I try to learn and listen a lot of what people has to teach. Keep in mind that I will not be a professional shooter that wants to get everything perfect for a price out of this world if that make any sense. I just want to enjoy some free time outside with friends while learning the essentials along the way. Thanks again guys.

Feets / Collection / My build First purchase Beretta A300

83 Upvotes

Got my pal two weeks ago and after doing a lot of research for a semi auto 12g I landed between this or the SX4. But due to the sale going on and overall fit of the gun I decided on the beretta A300!

One of my buddies gave me a lot of shit for buying this since he feels it’s the “Ferrari of guns” but I thought for the price point it was worth the purchase.

Question is where the heck can I actually go and shoot this now? I live just north of Toronto and want to get some target practice in.

Has anyone seen a red bodied scope anywhere in Canada? Yes I know it is lame, but I would like to find one before I try doing it myself.

Since we're getting some more goodies into the Canadian market, how likely do y'all think it would be to get something like this here?

For years I've been talking with my buddies how we need a 17 HMR semi auto rifle like this. First time I've really found one that fit my dreams 😅

Ended up buying the safe and taking it home today. First impressions are good. Seems solid and well enough put together. Weighs in at 335lbs. Light enough I was able to move it with a regular dolly fairly easy. There is a fair amount of modularity inside and it comes with 2 large lag bolts and anchors. There is also a backup key hole behind the keypad. Now all that's left to do is fill it up!

Recently took ownership of this SKS on an OPFOR Archangel. As you may see it’s quite dirty and therefore isn’t cycling very well. Looking for tips/instructions on the best way to strip and clean the action, I also need some wisdom on how I can remove the body to try and give it a scrub and clean.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Competitions/matches Looking for a couple of people to provide feedback on a firearm website.

1 Upvotes

I've made an app that I wanted to make for a while. It's really just a website and not installable yet, but it runs fine on a phone.
The main purpose of the site is to upload a photo of your target, describe the firearm / ammo used and then get your shot data from the photo. You can make friends and compete in a match with them too.
I'm privacy focused and you don't need to put in a name, and you can control your own data.
If anyone is interested, please PM me and I'll send you the URL.
PS. Not a Fed :)
PPS. I had to tag this post and didn't see one that I liked so I just put "Cometitions/matches" because this can possibly fit there.

Buy recommendations Rossi R95 Laminate or Wait for a Marlin?

12 Upvotes

Hey All,
I've been waiting for a Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70 for a long time, like I'm sure some of you, and now considering other brands. I've been even open to the Marlin Trapper but even that has been a challenge.

I've been playing with the idea of the Rossi R95 Laminate which is like a replica Marlin, albeit not as high QC as the Marlin.

Would you recommend continue to wait for a Marlin or pick-up the Rossi R95?

If the Rossi R95 is really not recommended due to QC, would the S&W 1854 be a better choice? The only reason I haven't entertained the 1854 is really the laminate stock of the Rossi and Marlin that has attracted me to it.

Thank you!

While I was at princess auto recently I couldn't help but notice the crazy price on their 20 gun safe. Ive been looking at safes recently not only for my guns but for personal documents and stuff. Wondering if its a good buy or if the typical princess auto quality is something I should be worried about.

Application / Regulation advice Importing Optics from the US to Canada

14 Upvotes

I've been running into a lot of conflicting information lately about importing optics from the US to Canada. Some people say they've bought scopes online from US retailers with no problem, while others have had their items stopped at the border. From what I can tell, scopes in the US used to fall under ITAR but are now regulated under the Department of Commerce's EAR instead.

I'm looking at buying optics secondhand from private sellers in the US, so my main question is: under the new regulations, would they run into any issues shipping the optics up to Canada?

The two I'm after are the Bushnell Match Pro 5-30x56 and the Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56, both of which I can get for less than half of what any shop in Canada charges.

Any insight from people who've actually done this would be appreciated.

I am wondering what the process and associated costs are of being an instructor with FSESO are?

I can see the requirements on their website, and I’ve met all those.

For those that have become instructors, how long did the process take and what did it cost in total (not counting requirements like pal/rpal)?

Gun and gear reviews Pro-Mag REM-A2 30 rd drum cleaning

4 Upvotes

Hey all, I used to love my 30 round pro-mag 597 .22 drums but I find that over time their reliability is going down. Getting feed issues and I can feel that it’s getting a bit sticky. I fear I ran too much crap and waxy ammo through them. I can’t find any disassembly videos and I know drums are a pain to reassemble so I’m nervous to just wing it. AI says to just spray ballistol in there but isn’t that a gun oil which you shouldn’t use in a magazine? If I did want to just wash it somehow what should I use or maybe lubricate only somehow? Anyone have any advice?

Hello,

I'd like to acquire a decommissioned hunting rifle for an upcoming short film. Can you recommend any shops or sellers that have these?

I also read that if I do not have a license, that's okay provided I have the decommissioning paperwork.

Thanks for any advice!
