Second month with PAL added a Mosin Nagant to the collection.

Where can I find 7.62x54R non corrosive ammo in Alberta?

First off I woke up ealry today and listed a few new items to start off the week

Then here comes The B.U.M and literally bumps up 40 pages of ads

So my new listings are now in page 40 lol

Furthermore when I first started using Gunpost a few years back I messaged him about a mag i needed, I made an offer for 10$ less ( I was over paying at even 10$ off ) and he wrote me a huge reply saying hes doing me a solid by providing Canada gun owners with unobtainable magazines, and then blocks me.

I actually just went thru all 40 pages looking at his mags and his prices are thru the roof, some mags hes selling are available New from major retailers at half off his prices

Morning coffee rant

Have a good week everyone

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another gun appreciation post, this time with something that’s a bit of a classic for you guys. A good ol’ Lever Action, which you can almost never go wrong with, they are truly amazing guns, and I believe that everyone SHOULD have one in their collection.

The particular Lever Action we are looking at today is the Marlin Model 336, a classic .30-30 Winchester rifle that is no nonsense, and it just will run and run like it always does. If you are an avid sports shooter or a hunter, it’s always gonna help get what you need.

If you all have one, feel free to share your experiences with it, because honestly, it’s a great rifle that anyone can gloat or talk about. Or maybe you have a different .30-30 Lever Action like a Henry, and maybe you love that instead, nothing wrong with that either.

Anyways, enough yapping!

Enjoy!

I’m so tired of RSO telling me when i can stand and sit and if i can shoot a 12g at a paper target
Im in ontario, who wants to grab some acres out in parry sound and build a private range with me?

Seeing a few posts about people Successfully obtaining Olympic or Target Exemptions, I'm Curious if anyone with a Workplace ATC or even a Wilderness ATC has gone through the process of obtaining a new Handgun in B.C.

I have a few people who have non-LEO ATC's for work but didn't have any Handguns before the Freeze.

So I'm looking for how they can navigate the process to obtain one. I'm assuming they will want 9mm or .40 for work training.

Would you still have to provide proof of training for Competition?

But reading the format on the website in its bullet point and location of a comma tells me that might not be required.

"If you want to acquire a handgun from any source in Canada, or through importation, you must meet one of the exemptions specified in the Firearms Act. Specifically, you must either:

*hold an authorization to carry in respect of a handgun, or for trapping and wilderness protection.

*meet the prescribed criteria and annually provide a letter to a chief firearms officer from a provincial or national sport shooting governing body indicating: (bullet points of target requirements not posted to save space)

Considering those are separated and it says Either the ATC might be just enough to not need target competition requirements.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

I've been helping a buddy acquire some vintage shotguns for his collection, so far picking him up a Winchester Model 12 and a Model 24. The Model 24 came with 2 sets of barrels so I offered to make him a case. The only thing I could find as a doner-case was still a bit big, so I'm making it so that fits both shotguns and all the barrels

Is there any league/ range offering training for ISSF-style competitive shooting? Asking this as an extreme beginner to the sport. I couldn't find any ranges that train Olympic level shooting online :( Am I missing any?

I threw the Archangel AR-15 style conversion kit on my fiancé's Ruger 10/22 yesterday. Overall, pretty straightforward process. Only hiccup was that the mag well on the Archangel needed to be sanded down inside to allow the 10/22 mag to drop. It's a little tight in there so the mag was getting stuck after releasing. Other than that, it was super easy! Threw on the Viridian scope that came with the Ruger Bass Pro deal, and a Magpul vertical grip. Definitely needs higher scope rings because it's literally sitting on the pic rails.😂 Got some pics during the process.

Magpull grip + hand stop
Fake etech redot and magnifier

Tommy enterprise mag sleeve

any suggestions for a fake can? Or anything else I should I add?

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
