First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

This thread is not for general politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Off-topic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about gun politics will be sent here.

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off-topic stuff, flame wars, negative generalizations against groups, personal attacks and gate-keeping will be removed. Please flag any comments to bring to the attention of mods otherwise exercise your upvoting and downvoting ability.

This thread will be used for any Frequently Asked Questions, including PAL/RPAL applications, CFSC/CFRSC requirements, storage/transport, open ended "what gun should I buy first", or other general new to firearms ownership questions. It recurs every 14 days.

We recommend you try the search bar before asking common questions as they are frequently already answered elsewhere.

Different types of firearms are explained in detail here.

Exporting firearms, ammunition, parts and accessories from the US: most items are controlled under ITAR and you cannot, as an individual, export these items from the USA. Canada does not care in most cases. If you attempt to bring any of these items across the border yourself and you are caught, you will face prison time in the US. If you wish to export items from the USA, use a broker such as IRUNGUNS, Aztech, or Prophet River.

If you took your CFSC and lost the paperwork, you can still apply for your PAL. Both your instructor and the CFP retain copies, you can request a copy by contacting either one. There is no expiration date on the paperwork, you do not have to retake the course. Updated list of scam websites is here.

If you have new scam sites to add, please message the mod team. Be careful: only use reputable sites to purchase things online. It is illegal to manufacture a non-restricted, restricted, or prohibited firearm.

Any posts or comments asking about the legality of making a firearm other than a reproduction antique will be removed. It was not always illegal, which is why you will find old posts regarding this topic. Rest assured, it is illegal now. Do not attempt.

These threads will be stickied for a week, renewing every Monday. Previous threads here.

Hopefully will add a MK15!

Hi, I'm in the Ottawa area and have never been shooting before and looking to finally try it out. Stittsville Shooting Ranges seems like the closest spot to me, so if anyone local has a license and gear and wouldn't mind bringing a first-timer along sometime late July/early August, I'd really appreciate it. Happy to cover whatever's needed on my end.

Thanks in advance!

Looking to buy yet another rifle to add. Looking at something. 308. I like the henry 308 single shot. Debating if I should buy something military surplus like k11, mosin, mauser, enfield.

Budget of 1000

What do you suggest? (I do reload)

It's too fun changing things around with modular guns.

Now I have the decision, try the folding stock, or stick with the Old "Stock" stock.

After some heat shrink and some trimming, I did manage to remove most of the wobble from the original. The new one doesn't have any wobble either, but lacks a cheek rest right now.

Decisions decisions.....

Hey has anyone got pics or experience with putting an optic plate on a norinco 1911 with LPA cut?

Arrived today, SBI ST-22 Precision in bronze with sbi 597 adaptor, muzzle brake, folding stock, sbi rail/handguard, PA glx 1x microprism.

Dad and I spent the morning at the range. He recently picked up the Delisle and stage coach gun on GP so we were itching to give them a go!

Sorry in advance as im not a review guy but i wanted to give some input on this rifle and i haven’t seem much on it.... so here we go

​

​

Finally got the Kr22 tactical out to the range today with a buddy and got roughly 600ish rounds down the tube before I ran out of ammo and called it a day, S&B canadian match ammo, will test different brands next weekend.

​

First thoughts, its a full polymer/plastic upper and lower aswell as the handguard, feels nice, super light, and has little to no wiggle (feels solid), build quality is better than expected for a 300$ Turkish semi 22lr, comes with backup irons and a muzzle device.

​

OEM mags are garbage, i better luck with the small box 10 round ruger 10/22 mags, the bx25 pinned mags gave me more trouble for some reason but still better than the mags it comes with, ergonomics are nice but the saftey is super stiff and kinda sharp, trigger feels cheap and clunky, and the folding stock doesn't like to stay folded but again... 300$ i can't be too picky.

​

We ran around 600 rounds of S&B canadian match, 3 light strikes, 27 failure to feeds and sometimes seems like it was trying to load 2 rounds at once, it would eject slow and some empty casings got totally crushed by the bolt coming back forward before it made its way out of the chamber, I regret not taking photos of the malfunctions as maybe someone could have given some insight since im not super firearm savy, I will be trying different brands and velocities to see if it will run better, rifle feels great in the hands and does scratch the itch a little with the takedown pins and saftey location,

​

Hopefully I can figure out how to get it running better as it's definitely fun while it works!

Today as a follow-up to Assault Rifles of the Cold War years and up to the turn of the Century, I offer up a selection of the major designs that came to market during the GWOT. Some of these designs have certainly fared better than others, but part of that is failed marketing as much as it is bad design philosophy and/or execution. It is worth noting the rise of the short-stroke piston rifle/carbine operating system during this period, led by the HK 416, but also including the ACR, APC223, MCX and Bren 2. In chronological order, here some of the major designs of the GWOT....

Fabrique Nationale FS2000 (2000-2014)

Heckler & Koch 416 / MR223 (2005-Present)

Israeli Weapon Industries X95 (2009-Present)

Bushmaster Adaptive Combat Rifle (ACR) (2010-2020)

Brugger & Thomet Advanced Police Carbine 5.56mm (APC556) (2011-Present)

Colt USA Law Enforcement Model 901 (LE-901) (2012-2015, successor takes over)

SIG Multi-Caliber Exchange (MCX) Patrol (2015-2017, successor Virtus takes over)

Ceska Zbrojovka Bren 2 (2015-Present)

In my arsenal so far i have two 22lr’s and one 6.5 creedmoor. Im debating if i should buy another rifle but don’t know in what calibre. I’m 100% gonna buy a shotgun to add so that is out the discussion. I saw that i can buy a 9mm semi auto and a new 5.56 semi auto as well i believe. What would be your move on this decision.

Thanks

Decided to cerakote my stock, MI handguard and a few misc accessories in Titanium H170.

​

Very happy with the results, and thank all of you for posting your various builds and providing ideas/inspiration!

Those of us who paid ATRS in full for a product, yet never received any material goods or were issued a refund, would anyone be interested in a potential collective legal action?

It sucks they've shut their doors, but not refunding us is shady af and I will be discussing our options with a lawyer come Monday.

Looking to buy ammo, specifically shotgun in 12ga, 20ga, and 28ga. I was wondering if anyone had used https://ammobin.ca/en/ . Curious if it's the best way to find reasonably priced ammo, or if y'all have any tips or sites you use to find the best deals. TIA

Winchester SXP black shadow and royal slugs 2 3/4 inch.

Just wanted to share this restoration i did on a cooey 600 i got off a buddy that he got from an auction many years ago. Someone decided to spray paint the whole gun before i got it. This is my first time doing anything like this and im very happy how it turned out.

Touched grass with friends today. Got some nice glamor shots in the process. I gotta say, besides burning my finger on the barrel, running rounds through the 1301 never fails to put a smile on my face.

Re-uploaded since i used the wrong picture.

​

New magpul furniture just arrived, love the way it turned out in the coyote brown. Gotta give a shout out to True North Arms for the customer service. Those guys are nothing but great to deal with so far.

​

Getting it all cleaned up for a trip to the pits tomorrow. Just hoping the rain holds off.

Probably closer to a Yugo M76.

Im wanting to buy some 300prc ammo and came across Londero sports. Everyone else is charging $60-$75 for shipping via UPS or Purolator but these guys are $20 flat rate. I even emails them and they confirmed thays correct. Has anyone dealt with them before? I live in Southern Ont.

Edit: LONDERO SPORTS. sorry auto correct

Benelli for scale. It identifies as a Flak 88. Its pronouns are ack-ack..

BPS10, 10ga pump with Briley mag tube extension and holosun HS510C. 3oz #4 buck cannon for long range penetration. Extra full choke. You will need shoulder surgury after one mag dump.

How legit is this website to order a kar98, if it’s not where can I get one of war kar98 mauser, german or any other variant. To be shipped Alberta
