In a bit of a unique situation, I ended up with two of these guns, which allowed me to compare them. And wow are there quality control differences.

I actually think this would be an incredible design, if they put more money into QC and materials. Make this a $500-600 gun with aluminum receivers and it would likely be a lot better.

Working on a grenade that can launch next

Hey guys! I just bought a Huntshield 24-30 Gun Fully Assembled Cabinet from Canadian Tire.

I took it out of the box and lugged it to the basement with a buddy of mine.

Personally I LOVE IT. But there’s already a problem.

The key will NOT come out of the lock if the door is closed and in the lock position. The key will ONLY come out of the door if the door is OPEN and in the lock position.

Why? I really truly don’t want to waste my time returning it. Also because I preemptively threw out the box…

Please tell me there a solution.

*EDIT: I completely took off the locking cam bolt then reinstalled it and tightened the HELL out of it. Now it opens and closes and locks and unlocks like butter.

There are still a few places to get out to try a pistol. These are a few I got the pleasure to try out today.

Been considering a 590 Retrograde for funsies, but saw the Maverick 88 with two barrels advertised which is cheaper but would fit my use case a bit better.

Is the 88 fairly reliable?

Also, are there any suppliers of wood furniture for the 88?

I signed up for the "buyback" (misnoner) because I didn't see a better path forward:
All of my guns are registered, so they already knew what I had. Changing my mind and withdrawing was explicitly presented as an option. Not obeying the law is not an option (no "boating accident"s), nor is receiving nothing for my guns if they're confiscated (I know some of you are willing to forego that as a matter of principle.. I'm not in that financial position where that'd be prudent or advisable).

The time has come to make a final decision, it seems. Received this (aggressively worded) e-mail:

Further to the previous message sent, this is a reminder notice that, should you wish to receive compensation under the Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program (ASFCP) for your prohibited firearm(s), please accept your funding agreement and book your appointment for collection for compensation of your firearms as soon as possible and no later than 7 calendar days from receipt of this message.

They're really trying to create false time pressure (never mind when it comes to actually getting paid? It'll happen whenever they fucking feel like getting around to it..)

So.. my question is this: Is there a better path forward?

I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but this is where the shit is really hitting the fan.

Waiting until the SCOC makes its decision would be the most prudent path.. but I can't risk being forced to turn in my rifles for nothing. The proposed compensation is actually.. alright.. it covers my out of pocket expenses in acquiring these rifles and a couple of needed accessories (opportunity cost, etc.. no.. not at all.. but..).

Is this the end for my rifles?

I was recently watching the Garand Thumb video on the Vang Comp 870 in which he compared it to the 590A1. The results found in his tests were that the 590A1 was actually slightly more accurate both with federal flight control and bad sterling buckshot.

Of course this is one test with 1 gun so results would likely not be the same from person to person, but does anyone actually have experience with the Vang comp?

In the video he mentions the 590s excellent barrel harmonics which is why accuracy difference is negligible. Does anyone know this to be particularly true in their experience?

shout to True North Arms for the excellent customer service and Rob for the machining

2 months with a PAL

I was scrolling through Reddit earlier and came across a historical post featuring a Boys anti-tank rifle. It got me wondering:
What's the largest caliber rifle you personally own?
And out of curiosity, what's the largest caliber rifle that's currently available on the market?
Looking forward to seeing everyone's answers and maybe a few pictures too.

Cheers

What is this little lever for ?

Bought a SBI 597 magazine adapter for my 10/22 and a few 22rnd pro mags plastic mags, I cannot get the bolt closed with the 22rnd mags, anyone run in to this issue?

Gun names insert here xD But 1 full year of my pal.

Get/make ammo and get out there!

Hello all. Im trying to find out where i could go shoot on Macolm island which is across from port mcniel off vancouver island in BC.

What is/are your trusted websites to purchase guns and accessories ?

Belt is a cheap one from Amazon

The mag pouches are 3d printed, 2 different designs put together. The part that attaches to the belt from one model for a different style of mag, and then the 10/22 mag part from a different model with a smaller belt attachment that didn't fit.

Did my course with just regular mags stock rifle. A little awkward to get the mags out.

So for the first match I added an extended release, and designed some extensions for the mags.

The extensions have a little clip that screws into the extension, and holds onto the little finger divot on the mag, then I also just glued them to the bottom. Much easier to manipulate, and the finger hole makes it pretty nice to pull out of the holder. The extra weight makes them drop nice with the extended release.

Only used them on grass, they held up fine there. I think if you were dropping them on harder surfaces they'll eventually get beat up. I played around with a rubber sleeve over it, probably try them when we move indoors for the winter. Seemed like they help up OK but only tested those in the garage.

I know little about shotguns but have been thinking of making what is basically my Homesteader adapter but for the Mossberg Shockwave (and fits Mossberg Mavericks and 500s? I believe the rears are the same), but was wondering if there would be any interest in one.

I believe a folding stock is not possible on the current Shockwave offerings we currently have because they do not meet OAL requirements, correct? So this would be a custom piece that would fit OAL while folded.

Just asking if this is a niche that needs to be filled, as I'm not very informed about what options we have here.

Long shot, but I figure I would post up here and try to get some momentum behind getting the Rossi 7122M Delta in Canada by making a dedicated post. It already has an NR classification on the FRT and would be a small but nice change from all the .22LR semis we have now.

I have already tried to contact North Sylva (via CGN) and Gravel Agency but neither have replied, so I am wondering if anyone out there has contacts or influence that could get the ball rolling on this.

Consumers; Ask your retailers to inquire about these and stir up some interest

Retailers; If you could call in and ask why these haven't been brought in yet as customers are asking for it, it might get some more interest from importers drummed up..

I know there has been a number of comments and posts mentioning these between here and CGN as well as other groups, so let's see if we can't get them here.

I took apart my Charles Daly m4 clone today to deep clean it and inspect components. As this shotgun has had a history of light striking from day 1. Upon inspection I noticed my firing pin has a bend in it. I want to know options for replacement.

A where-to-shoot map and an aggregator.

Have fun!

Guns.Rip

and

GunsOnline.ca

I'm still entering gun ranges and no-shoot zones. I made an automated pin drop feature to edit/add crown sites/ranges and pics on the map.

The aggregator took a long time to train, but still might have the odd listing straggler. I'm making a dedicated CRON box to soft scrape all known sites. I made a built-in FRT checker (why not) so you can get more info on the gun you're looking at. The FRT is checked daily and I posted a searchable page for it. I might be adding pictures to it eventually.

I originally made these sites for myself so keep that in mind if you have "complaints". Suggestions and feedback are welcome!

backcountry pack gun what’s a better option, I know there not the best choices but out of the two what do you guys recon will be a better choice for wilderness protection.

In my mind there’s three possibilities with supreme court case that impact value of Makasi. If government cancels oics and pre ban firearms are back that would make Makasi a joke. I am a big fan of eastern bloc firearms, so if i can pick up a t81 or svt i wouldnt even ever touch an AR, let alone this thing.

If government loses the case but maintain status quo by neither lifting previous oic nor issuing new oic, makasi could be worth it. If government wins and double down by banning makasi then you just bought yourself a 2700 dollar toy.

Probably better to hold money before scc decision comes out.

I'm figuring this is something I will have to get custom made since I havent seen anyone weird enough to try it. The Benelli R1 barrel is tapped in 4 spots on the barrel, the muzzle and above the chamber, for adding iron sights. So installation should be easy enough.

The benelli R1 has a light weight barrel, which means after only 6-8 consecutive rounds it is already too hot to hold or touch. My main question is how effective it would be at dissipating the heat, would it make the barre cool down faster?

Edit: I'm also wondering if it will negatively affect barrel harmonics
