Hey, I bought an Adler rf 224 the other day (I am aware it has some mixed reviews, I just wanted a cheap 22 to shoot) I put maybe 20 rounds threw it, and it proceeded to have a bunch of issues, from not extracting the casing properly and then it started just refusing to feed a new round in. It seemed to me like the bolt wasn't coming back far enough to pickup the next round. I took it apart and found the bolt spring wasn't in its seat. I'm just curious what you guys think, to me it looks like the corner of the seat is knocked off , so there's nothing keeping the spring from going to the side. But I didn't find any debris or that chunk that I think is missing. Am I correct in guessing that the seat is broken? Or am I over thinking it? First picture is how I believe it should sit, second one was how I found it, 3rd is with the spring removed. Sorry if this sounds dumb lol, never taken a firearm apart/worked on one before.

Really excited about getting my first gun and been looking at different builds here. I had a question regarding the stowaway.

I’ve been seeing posts here and YouTube with the stowaway swapped with the 5 inch barrel. Someone here said his over all length was under 26 inches.

There was a comment that said because it’s manual action and fixed stock it would still be considered non restricted even though it’s under 26 inches.

By that logic could you take a renegade and install short stock and barrel? Being under 26 inches would it be considered non restricted as well?

I apologize for my confusion. The firearm rules are confusing.

As title. My new restricted rifle arrived in Canada two weeks ago and since then myself and a couple buddies all have not received approval for the transfer by the CFO. We all called and were told this can take several more weeks...

Is there anything that can be done about this? It seems this is only happening in BC as my friends from Alberta and Ontario all got their approval within 2-3 days.

Fyi: we are in BC...

Hey everyone! A couple friends and i are considering getting into reloading so we can shoot more, i’m designing some reloading trays and i’m curious to your opinions on this tray on if there’s anything you’d personally want different that would make staying organized easier in your opinion.

Tray size is 10-1/8” x 8-3/8”

Obligatory feets for scale

Hello everyone. I’ve been struggling to find an appropriate optic for my Ruger Scout .308. I do not like the traditional scout scope setup, it’s a bit awkward. I’ve tried an LPVO and it was just okay. Looking for opinions and advice from individuals who have used the Spectre or a Spectre clone. I’m open to other optic recommendations as well. Thanks.

1954 Tula SKS.

1966 TIPO 2 M1 Garand with a 1944 dated springfield reciever, has mix of italian, springfield, and winchester parts.

Running out of storage space lol.

Right: Walther GSP 500, Pardini SP (both 22lr)

The Walther is for me, the others I picked up from a retiring shooter who moved to the UK and already have buyers for (they're right handed - I'm not).

Heads up, guys check your Hush Holsters SKS stock. Mine cracked from the buttstock to the grip after just a few uses and I’m still waiting on my wood replacement.

Unfortunately no markings on Tins

They are 7.62x39

Anyone able, even estimate, the round count in these?

I'm just curious and not really looking for a debate. Thank you

These Yugos are packing man

Does anyone know how to remove the adaptor covering the trigger pins? I stripped the entire lower and can’t figure it out. Also can’t find anything online.

Just wanted to throw out a quick review on the metal handguard and grip adapter that Neumann Metalworks just put out. Super reasonably priced, came to I think $170 all in with express shipping included. I am putting a picatinny stock on it but just figured I'd snap some photos of it now, as the stock itself arrives in another day or two.

Super solid feel, easy install, and very cheap for what you get. The handguard and grip were combined, half the price of the Midwest Industries handguard alone, which has also been discontinued I believe.

Did not receive any sort of incentive from NM to write this, just doing so because he was great to interact with, has install tutorials too on his site to make it super easy, and was a great price for all aluminum furniture for it. Super nice to have a modern ergonomic PCC setup again.

Photo doesn't have the picatinny stock installed yet as Im still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Mag in the photo is of course empty, just stuck it in the rifle to complete the look for the photo to show off the furniture.

Very solid kit, good fitment, I love it. It is just a bit over 27" OAL even without the picatinny stock installed, so i believe it is technically legal to use even with just the pistol grip as it is over 26" OAL, someone correct me though if I am remembering wrong or misinterpreting something (I dont intend to use it anyway until I have the remainder of the stock installed).

I am located in Calgary, Alberta and want to join a handgun competition however I am uncertain about the requirements around it. My range is located in Rocky Mountain House and has pistol ranges I use often.

Am I required to be IPSC certified for all of the competitions? If so what if my range doesn’t offer this course. Where can I do it.

Ultimately I’d love some advice or even pay for some information as to how one goes about joining a league and shooting competitively.

Thanks ahead of time!

Finally got my parts in from Neumann metal works (no thanks to canada post)! Super happy with quality and fitment. This is my first time owning a red dot so im itching to head out to SPFGA as soon as their ranges open back up.

Just saw this video that came up on my YouTube feed. Prior to 1969 I guess it was legal to hunt with a handgun/revolver. In less than 60 years so much has changed in regards to bs firearms restrictions smh.

Anyways shout out to "The Way to Native Chronicles". He makes a lot of good Canadian gun/hunting content.

Had a phone call with the CFO wanting to apply for one. They told me they are likely tweaking the program or ending it entirely soon, as people have been taking advantage. They told me I could still apply but they may not process it. I did anyways and they approved it very quickly.

Not sure what the overall outcome will be but if anybody was debating applying just get it done now.

Edit: The ‘taking advantage’ was that they told me people had lent out entire collections of 10-20 guns across the province to different people.

This is the new compact version of the TM22 feather. Functionally it's the same as the normal one but shorter barrel. The last picture is the one I had a while ago and an example of what it can look like with the CAR-15 stock (on the way). I'll eventually get the a few mag basses too. Now that we have top charging handles, it really is the AR at home.

I haven't shot it yet, but I'll do a video on it whenever the stock arrives.

Any recommendations for store and/or website for parts for this beautiful /s rifle?

As the title states, has anyone actually had any good experiences with Firearms Outlet Canada? Getting back into the sport after several years of hiatus. I’ve been to their old store and had a pretty piss poor interaction with them. They act like everything you ask is a chore and it’s a privilege to be buying from them.

Thought I would try them again since they’re 5 min from my folks place. Called to ask to price match a $30 difference on a rifle and was told they only price match Ontario stores. Then I asked if I pick it up can I get a few bucks off from shipping savings since they offer free shipping over $500 (yes my order was over $500) and was also told no.

Naturally I ordered my rifle from another reputable shop online.
