Recently got my hands on a Derya Tm-22 Pro 12" barrel and have almost no issues with it. One thing I dislike is how the only bolt hold open is built into the magazine so when you remove the mag, the bolt closes.

I want a bolt hold open that connects to the safety of the carbine so that when you flick the safety off, it drops the bolt.

Not looking to change out the charging handle as I like the left side charge and don't want to spend $250 on a kit I don't even really want (Alex Homebrew bolt hold open)

I've done a very poor drawing here to show what I mean. Does anyone make anything like I'm describing? Or am I gonna have to buy a 3D printer and start experimenting?

My Renegade is on the way and I'm looking for suggestion for ammo.

I went to the local Bass Pro and the lady behind the counter said she wasn't able to talk to me about the Renegade because they didn't sell it.

I know to stay away from steel ammo. Is there any bulk people recommend?
This is my first rifle, so I still have some learning to do when it comes to ammo.

Ever since the original backland hunter came out I’ve been eying one, but the reviews kept me away. Seeing the comp come out and a few good reviews I decided to give it a try.

Ordered a set of irons for it which still haven’t arrived, but I wanted to try it out so threw a red dot on and took it to EESA.

Ran about 50 rounds of .223 with the only issue being not feeding 2 rounds. Also realized that if you raise the cheek riser it’ll block the charging handle lol.

New to guns so I don’t have anything to compare to, but fit and finish is good. Planning on taking it out again next weekend and might update.

Exciting to see so many handgun posts lately - let’s keep it going. Recently earned my Black Badge ✔️

Here’s my current collection, from top to bottom:

- Mossberg 500
- Ruger American Gen 1 30.06
- Mossberg 590 (9-shot)
- Federation SA-4 (Benelli M4 Clone)
- Ruger 10/22 Carbine

I’m planning to get another plinker, either a lever-action or an AR-15-style .22 with a red dot sight. Additionally, I’m looking to join another range and participate in an IPSC and precision shooting program, which could help me avoid the handgun freeze.

P.S. I have no issues with the M4 Clone. Since it’s gas-operated, as long as you clean it regularly, it fires beautifully.

Borderline my most ghetto work so far haha. But also seems pretty promising (This is a " proof of concept " setup). A non permanent RMR mount for the Uberti 1873 lever actions. Installed a cheap Osight bought off Amazon with the goal of having a 50m zero on the dot (3moa), and a crude 100m hold over on the bottom ring (32moa ring).

I just bought the 10/22 with the scope combo and the threaded barrel. I’m not a big fan of shooting with a scope and noticed there no iron sights on the barrel for this version, i would like to add a red dot to it. I’m pretty new to guns and would like some recommendations on a red dot sight also not sure what rail system is on the gun currently.
Thank you!!

Recently converted my CZ 457 from .22 WMR to .22 LR.

I knew the CZ 457 was designed to swap barrels, but I was still surprised how easy it was. The conversion took less than 30 minutes for the first time.

I picked up a .22 LR barrel, magazine and spacer for around $200. So for a small cost I added a high quality .22 LR rifle.

Pretty hard to compete with the CZ platform

Hello degenerates!

Here is my humble long-range rifle build:

- Ruger American Gen II Predator in 6.5 CM
- MDT Oryx chassis in FDE
- MDT vertical grip
- MDT 12-round metal magazine
- Arken EP-5 Gen II 5-25x56 with TOR reticle in mil (just came out, apparently); Arken scope level
- CV Life bipod; just a cheap one from Amazon (25 CAD)

Happy to answer any questions for the sake of ungatekeeping!

Sorry, no feet this time - but you can check out my happy little corner at least.

Cheers!

Gun locker is getting a little full.

Top to bottom in order of purchase:

- Winchester SXP Defender

- Savage MK II

- SKS

- Ruger 10/22 with Oryx Chassis

- S&W 1854 .44

- Henry Homesteader

Next on wish list: Ranger Point Precision parts for the S&W, scope for the 10/22, some type of auto shotgun for skeet and a high calibre rifle.

And with all these recent posts for handgun exemptions…maybe that too!

I’ve been recommended to soak my bolt/firing pin of my TM22 in solvent to completely dissolve any grease etc from the factory and then add a high quality silicone lubricant to it to see if it fixes the feed issues etc.

Is it recommended to clean it just with a field stripping or should I entirely disassemble the gun and clean every last nook and cranny?

I’ve reached out to Derya in terms of warranty as it had 4 or 5 OOB detonations as well as failure to feed.

Known issues: Putting 10/10 rounds in the magazine. 8/10 feeds better so I assume that’s a spring tension issue.

CCI Blazers have FTF issues, Aguilla interceptors aren’t as bad however with the TE mag sleeves on, they were having the OOB issues as well as horrific FTF issues.

It hasn’t had a ton of extraction issues but there’s been a few that typically go hand in hand with the FTF

308 12.5 inch

Honestly, scalpers might be the downfall of this hobby. I don't get the point of importing a handgun (and getting an exemption) just to sell at an inflated price to make a profit

Does anyone what happened to Derya TM22s in the style like the ones in picture 1? I haven't been on here or looked around at gun stores in about a year. Last year I remember looking at them, was thinking of getting one but never did. Now the only ones I can find are the ones in the 2nd-4th pictures. I personally don't like the one that doesn't have the guard (rail? not actually sure what the proper name is) all the way down the barrel, or the feather. The last picture says it is a Derya TM22 Flash? Does anyone know what is different with that one than the originals in the first photo? Are the ones in the first photo still on the market and I just can't find them?
If any has some info on this, it would be appreciated.

Found a Tikka T3X Arctic stock at an absolute STEAL of a deal at my local bricks n mortar. Only went in for some .22 ammo for the range tomorrow and ended up doing a new build on the 308 🤣

Phase 1 of the pilot produced no problems, so we're moving onto the next phase! Have fun!

Took my Remington 700 chambered 308 out to 475 yards today. While it was a two person effort I managed to get a great video of it through the scope! Turns out a 10 oz trigger makes form pretty irrelevant!

I’ve been planning this purchase for years. This is an earlier model factory 26 production SKS, unissued and caked in cosmoline. Same factory that made French ticklers, but these were produced in a manner closer to the original Russian manufacturing methods. Still has the chrome-lined barrel, but instead of being pinned like the ticklers it’s a threaded barrel, the hand-guard is wood instead of Bakelite, and instead of the spike bayonet it has a blade. Also a higher percentage of the parts are machined the original Russian way. Very excited to play around with this.

Romania best design 🇷🇴 holy length of pull

Hey all,

I see all the posts about the exempted handguns and was wondering if anyone knew about the process specific to Alberta? I know BC is easy to do but how does one go about east of the Rockies?

Thanks :)

So, a total stranger literally gave me this rifle in 2018 in a gun shop parking lot. I gave it to someone I won't name, and I'm guessing he might be passed by now, considering his age. He completely butchered the thing, even though I just wanted him to check it over since I was new to shooting and rifles. Then, a fabulous person named Annie Dubuc had to completely rebuild the back end of the stock from scratch because someone tried to take off the butt stock before the fore stock, which cracked the fore stock because there's a screw plate there.

Also, the original person I sent it to completely drilled out the original nose cap, so I have a random rifle nose cap on there that isn't original to the rifle, unfortunately. But this is the first time I've actually tried to group it properly.

There is a mythical thing about free floating Lee Enfields, dear lord Bloke on Ranch has beaten that to death and I dont wanna say more. Barrel is too light of a profile and its very whippy. SMLE/No.1 has a wild bedding system to depend out barrel harmonics and whip.

I don't do blade and leaf style sights; normally, I'm handling a 1943 Long Branch No.4 for Lee Enfield.

So frankly it normally just sits in my gun cabinet with me oiling stock every so often because I also realize its barrel condition is such that its extremely rare exception to surplus Lee Enfields within Canada.

I just didnt realize it had the potential of grouping till yesterday fully and the windage was actually zeroed when I tested it at 25yrds.

Its probably going to sit for a while just out of cost reasons for .30cal: granted handloads and seeing what it can do would interest me. But thats something long time away.

Cam withPanzer m4 speed pro, wondering what i can shoot with this there is no info on it.
