I'm going up to Magnetawan for the weekend and was hoping to find a good spot on crown to target shoot. Anyone know of anywhere near there? I know its a big ask to give away your spots, but im not an asshole and id leave with more than I came in with. I've looked on the map and can't really find any decent looking areas, was hoping for somewhere someone has personally been to. Thanks!

DERYA TM22 Pro A12. Finally got a TM22 Pro 12 inches.

Good day, looking to pu my second toy and wondering what people’s thoughts are on 12-16 or 18 for accuracy and ergonomics?
Will be metal version
Cheers

Feeling cute, might dump these later for a Makasi or Carmel 😏

Seriously though, got the SKS all gussied up with her new FAB defense stock and a new and uh... interesting optic.

Does anyone have a video or some good pictures for exactly what I'm supposed to do for this modification? I got mine used and it jams all the time I thought they were all like that but I've seen removing the left extractor can help cycling. I heard all I need is an Allen key and a punch but I don't want to punch a wrong hole by accident lol

The barrel nut comes loose every 10 rounds, the muzzle flash becomes off center the first time you tighten the barrel nut. The chassis also comes loose every 10 or so shots. The screws are already showing significant wear from repeated tightening. It's basically unusable. I don't even know what to do with this thing now.

Hi everyone, I’m planning on a 10/22 build with the G3 chassis. I was planning on using a Neumann folding buffer to picatinny adaptor on it. But eventually I want to buy a shorter barrel around 12 inch for it. With the folding stock I’m sure it’s going to be shorter than 26 inch.

So will I have to swap the stock for a telescopic buffer type adaptor that would be min 26 while collapsed? And would that even still be legal? Considering I could remove the stock and it would still be fireable. Or does the fact the buffer tube would require tools to remove make it ok? Our laws are so vague and I don’t wanna get in any hot water over it!

Thanks guys, happy shooting

I've seen M1 carbine appearance stocks online, but I can't see anything in Canada. Does anyone have a line on those? They look great and I want one!

I bought my son an older rifle online from General gun in Feb to use hunting. It was a 1960's Savage 110L.

We finally had time to get out and sight it in... or so we thought.

Visually the firearm looked fine before we used it and we gave it a light cleaning. However we only got 1 shot off and the casing won't eject.

It's a old rifle, but he really likes it and I'm hoping we can get it repaired.

Any suggestions for gun smiths?

Families and survivors of the Dawson College shooting are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government to strengthen firearms laws, saying key gun-control measures promised in the wake of mass shootings remain unfinished nearly 20 years after the deadly attack.

70c8fc80In an open letter released Wednesday, the advocacy group Dawson Families for Gun Control urged the federal government to take action on what it describes as three outstanding priorities: completing the ban on assault-style firearms, closing loopholes involving large-capacity magazines and strengthening oversight of exemptions to Canada’s handgun freeze.

The letter comes ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 13, 2006 shooting at Montreal’s Dawson College, when a gunman opened fire with legally acquired firearms, killing 18-year-old Anastasia De Sousa and wounding 19 others.

“Since that terrible day, survivors and families of Anastasia and those injured or traumatized have urged successive governments to fix the laws that enabled a troubled and angry young man to legally obtain firearms and accessories capable of causing mass casualties,” the letter states.

While acknowledging progress, including the prohibition of many assault-style firearms and the federal handgun freeze, the families argue significant gaps remain.

They say many prohibited firearms are still in civilian hands because of an ongoing amnesty period tied to the federal buyback program. The group is also calling for regulations to ban magazines that can be modified to hold more rounds than legally permitted and wants stricter national standards governing exemptions for Olympic and Paralympic sport shooters.

The families say Ottawa should move forward on those measures without further consultation.

The letter is signed by relatives of victims and survivors connected to the Dawson College shooting.

Louise Hevey De Sousa, whose daughter Anastasia was killed in the attack, said families have been waiting too long for governments to act.

“I think action really needs to be taken now. It’s enough,” she told Global News. “It’s been 20 years since Dawson and even longer since Polytechnique, so I don’t think it’s really acceptable.”

Hevey De Sousa also pointed to Montreal’s recent incident of gun violence this past June as evidence that stronger measures are needed.

In a statement to Global News, a spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said the upcoming anniversary is “a solemn reminder of the devastating consequences of gun violence and of our shared responsibility to keep communities safe.”

The federal government said it remains committed to its firearm-control agenda, including the Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program.

According to the minister’s office, more than 142,000 assault-style firearms have been declared, collected or destroyed through the program to date.

The government also highlighted broader efforts to combat gun violence, including investments in border security, additional Canada Border Services Agency and RCMP personnel, and funding aimed at disrupting organized crime networks involved in firearms trafficking.

“Altogether, these measures reflect our comprehensive approach: removing dangerous firearms from communities, strengthening our borders, supporting law enforcement, and disrupting the organized criminal networks that fuel gun violence,” the statement said.

Dawson College will hold a commemorative ceremony Friday to mark the 20th anniversary of the shooting.

On Sunday, the anniversary of the attack, members of Anastasia De Sousa’s family will gather at her gravesite, continuing a tradition they have observed each year since her death to honour the life she never had the chance to complete.

So apparently, Henry Homesteader with just Nuemann Metalworks adapter and a pistol grip is very much a functional gun, sans butt-stock. It is even of NR length (27+ inches). It only misses a butt stock.

If we keep it in that configuration, will it be legal?

The only issue I see is objection is that argument can be made that since it is missing a butt stock, it has been altered to fire with one hand, ergo it is a handgun and no longer a rifle. Similar to how Taurus Judge Home Defender is considered as a handgun. This is ofcourse hypothetical argument.

Any one has insights in this?

If original owner of pic objects, I will remove it.

It’s not every time but the ramp won’t fully seat down sometimes. It’s almost like the magazine tube spring puts too much pressure on the ramp so it doesn’t go down all the way. It likes to start on rounds 3 and 4 (7 round capacity) Sometimes 2 if it feels extra. When it does that, pushing the loading get in pushes the ramp down and “fixes” it. Not sure if it’s the ramp itself with an issue but levering it with nothing in seems to fully seat the ramp.

I’ve shot about 20 rounds through it. It worked flawlessly. This go around I loaded it up, but didn’t have a need to shoot it (went out to check for coyotes) so I went to unload. That’s when I noticed this issue.

Goal is 500 00 buck

Went to go buy beef jerky, next door there’s a firearm store so I figured what the heck. Saw this Ruger SR-22 with 4 mags for 595 moose dollars on the used rack. Being a Ruger fan boy and having exactly 595 to spend on jerky, I bought it instead.

Figured Ruger could do me no harm. Heck I’d suck on old Bill Rugers toes if I could. But I opened up the Google and found quite a bit of bad reviews. Was the SR-22 really that bad? The weight I don’t mind.

(Mags are pinned)

this would be my second lever action after a Henry supreme looking to put a dot and Muzak in it for a bison trip

I know there’s a lot of guys on here who say “Buy once/cry once or who buy it and sneak it into the safe but let she realistic…

How do you convince the wife, between mortgage, bills, renovations, etc. etc. to not lose her absolute mind when you want to drop $1000+ on a new firearm?

I’m trying to have a happy marriage here folks. Give me your tips/strategies

Does anybody know when the Carmel reaches Canada? I pre-ordered in like June and it was originally targeted August, then late August, now I'm hearing sources for late September. Does anybody have any insider knowledge?

Mine just arrived from Tactical Imports, so here’s a quick unboxing and first look. I haven’t taken it to the range yet, so these are only initial impressions. Anything specific you’d like me to test in the follow-up?

I applied for, and received my RPAL after the OIC bans, so I missed out on a lot of cool stuff.

Decided the SKS is my cope gun. 3D printed chassis of my own design (to allow AR stocks and grips)

Hi-Cal mag adapter

Magwedge rail

3D printed faux suppressor based off the HUXWRX Flow.

Knockoff sopmod stock (because I'm poor)

Knockoff Eotech (because I'm poor)

Airsoft PMAG because it looks cool.

This is gonna be one fun space cowboy addition to the collection

Security guy said it looked like a replica bullet. It literally was a rifle slug with a hole drilled sideways through it and a key ring on it.

Woke crap. No wonder they're all scared. They don't know anything about bullets...

Hey Guys, long time listener, first time caller. I have a complex situation here, i'll try to lay out the details and get some advice or clarity.

My Neighbour unfortuneatly passed away early last year, and had a small collection of restricted and one prohibited handgun. His wife, passed away early this year and left their kids to navigate the estate etc. Their son is now the executor of their estate.

Their son has obtained his PAL/RPAL, but obviously with the freezes does him little to no good. He is considering deactivating the firearms as opposed to a straight up surrender.

Which leads me to my first question, is there any gunsmiths in the Manitoba region that can handle deactivations?

They seem to be few and far between, i've given him some contact info for guys in our area but recomendations are appreciated.

Second question: Assuming he will need an ATT to transfer to the gunsmith anyways, is it difficult to transfer them from province to province for deactivations sake? If not recomendations in the Calgary AB area for gunsmiths to complete the deactivation are welcome as well.

Third question: Is there any chance he would be able to "lend" the restricted firearms to himself as the executor of the estate? I understand this is more of a CFO question, but i was hoping to get feedback if anyone has personally done this or at least attempted to. I understand this option still exists for individual to individual, but the executor to person sitution complicates things.

The intent isn't that he keeps the handguns indefinitely, but moreso to buy the guy some time to work through the other aspects of the estate, then get his feet under him and get the guns deactivated. Ideally he would get some time to enjoy the guns while he has them in his possession.

Knowing his father, he would be sad to see them surrendered, and would be happy to know his guns got enjoyed as long as possible before ultimately having them deactivated.

Any advice or help is appreciated! Sorry for the long winded post. Obligatory "man our gun laws suck"

*Sorry for any typo's or spelling mistakes, i have fat fingers and posted this on my phone\*

Edit: Thanks for all if the suggestions and insight! You all are a great bunch!
