Milsurps / Prohib Waltzing with an SMLE from Litgow šŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗ: a stranger gave me a 1946 rebuilt 1917 Lithgow with a still brand new replacement barrel...

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.

Hey guys, I've got me a nice hunting rifle and a good shotgun, a Tikka t3x, and a mossberg 590, looking to get into semi autos and just looking for recommendations from anybody who's shot the specific models and what they would recommend?

Fix my gun Goofy project advice

17 Upvotes

The other day I came across a steal of a deal on a Poly USA marked SKS that's been pretty bubba'd so I had a thought. If I can find a set of Russian wood, I can make sort of a "sino/soviet" SKS which will be the basis for a build that'll include parts from a bunch of different countries of origin. Pretty much an unholy combination of a yugo barrel, a Chinese receiver, Russian furniture, and whatever other parts I can find. Sounds kind of neat right?

Well here's the part I'm stuck on... As expected a Russian stock isn't exactly a one-to-one fit. Manufacturing tolerances from communist countries strikes again. Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this build, I should ask if anybody's come across a similar issue, where they shaved, how much, and if I can do this with no experience or if it's better for me to take it to someone who can.

Second Gun, Second Day, Mauser 1911 Just Arrived! Never fired a gun in my life yet so can't comment much except that It's heavier than I thought, all metal, 5 inch barrel, and even the magazines are all metal. Doesn't look like there's any rail for a light or slide cut for a red dot. It's made by GSG in Germany so the same one as the Sig Sauer 1911-22 variants. Not much else to say other than always wanted a classic 1911 that is cost effective to shoot and light on recoil. I think it's ironic that all GSG 22LR rifles have been prohibited but all 1911 GSG pistol variants are ok.

Application / Regulation advice Firearms on BC ferries??? Need to declare??

11 Upvotes

Hi. I am going on a hunting trip from prince rupert to skidegate on bc ferries.

Is there a need to declare my firearms as "dangerous goods" when buying my ticket?

This seems like such a hassle and heard from people that they don't even care/check.

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Picked this Henry Homesteader up on sale the other weekend. And now that the heat wave is gone, the plan is to hit the pits this weekend and let it rip.

Took the green dot off the derya and threw it on here for some 100 yard shenanigans.

Looking forward to trying out a few different packs of ammo. Got some different grain pmc rounds and some federal and blazer.

Super excited that my first exempted pistol has finally arrived after ordering it beginning of June.

Shoutout to BCTSA, IRUNGUNS, and funny enough, the Federal Firearms office in Miramichi NB, for helping make the process as seamless as can be (in our current firearms climate).

Feel free to ask any questions on the process and I’ll do my best to reply/DM. :)

Edit: everyone that’s requested a DM, I will absolutely get to all of you later tonight or tomorrow! :)

Buy recommendations Benelli M4 or settle for clone

Recently got my pal and have always wanted a benelli m4 but obviously the price tag is quite expensive. I’ve read around that panzer and canuck clones are good quality but a fraction of the cost.

I’d like to hear from some members what their opinions are.

News / Politics / Activism Media continues to lie.

481 Upvotes

After the shooting at the Toronto festival, multiple media outlets have reported that the Toronto Police Chief has called for ā€œgun controlā€ and ā€œtougher gun lawsā€ in response to what happened.

However, the reports are highly misleading and inaccurate.

He actually called for tougher sentencing for those who commit firearms offences, especially in crowds.

He said: ā€œWe need some reforms that address that and recognize that if you pull out a gun in a public space, in a public square or the Eaton Centre or any other public gathering and fire it indiscriminately, that should be treated with the utmost seriousness in the law.ā€

This is just one of many examples that prove how biased the media is. Everyone knows that ā€œgun controlā€ refers to laws restricting the acquisition, transfer and possession of firearms, not tougher sentences for things that are already illegal, everywhere.

Make no mistake, the media is not on our side.

Misc Beretta 1301 doesn’t come with Velcro sticker (for shot card)?

7 Upvotes

Upon receiving my 1301 Mod. 2, I noticed it didn’t come with a Velcro receiver card, and I was wondering if it was supposed to. I ask because my A300 Ultima Patrol came with one.

Normally it wouldn’t be a big deal, just slap some Velcro, but the one included with the A300 UP was laser cut to match the receiver outline perfectly. If the 1301 isn’t supposed to come with one, that’s a little disappointing considering it’s Beretta’s higher end model.
