You ever buy a gun and then ask yourself why?

In the case of this Federation Arms SPM 12 w/ 9” barrel, sure, I could carry it for hiking. I do live near the north coast of BC and there are mountains and mountain trails everywhere… and lots of bears…. But I restrict my hiking to August and the bears are all down by the river or in lush lowland vegetation.

But I already own a Benelli SuperNova Tactical 12 pump shotgun…

Build quality looks ok although the charging handle is bolted on cheap plastic. Still, not a bad buy for $575 but not great…. But my God that Benelli has shot upped in price since I bought it.

I still haven’t taken it to the range yet…

Anyone one able to id this gal

How long does it take on an average to get the exemption letter from BCTSA Since I joined and sent them an email, i haven’t received any response from them yet. Not even acknowledgment email ( if there is of some sort? H. Been about a week.

Hello all,
I’m in the market for a tm22 pro, but the stores near me only have the 12”.

Is it worth waiting to get a 16” or 18”?

Or do the 12s run?

just got a message that my april pre order for the sks mag adapter has shipped! hurray!

Looking for my first FA.
What is the best micro/small/light shotgun?

I was considering a-tactical, sr-45, rp coach, tr410micro, sr410, from tacticalimports. Any other smaller shotguns that you would recommend?

Can anyone help me to understand how can I qualify for it in NS? I can see other provinces are having this

I have restricted license and want to have 22lr handgun for target shooting. I have gun club membership. Do I need to get black badge course?

Here’s the thing: I’m a buy once cry once type of guy and don’t like holding cheap guns I won’t use.
I want to get into trap and am looking at getting a silver pigeon… I don’t know how committed i would be to the sport so I was wondering how easy it is to sell these guns later?
I might just keep it because it’s so pretty but just curious how easy it would be to get rid of if I did need to

TLDR: The “lifetime warranty” that they very clearly advertise all over their product boxes and on their website only applies if you have a US address. They also claim “no receipt required” despite that being a blatant lie.

I thought I’d give Crimson Trace a try. I wasn’t too sure about them, but it seemed like it was worth a try since they very clearly and repeatedly advertise a lifetime warranty all over their products.

I purchased this scope a while back for a hunting rifle. Life got extremely in the way and I haven’t been able to even think about hunting again until this coming November. Because of this, I finally took the scope out to zero. Took a single shot, went to adjust the elevation for the first time, and the turret was completely locked up.

I gave crimson trace a call and they claimed that they require a receipt despite their own website clearly stating “no receipt required”. Between a basement flood amongst other things, I have no idea where the receipt would be or if it even still exists.

The receipt issue doesn’t matter though because upon hearing my Canadian shipping address, they told me that they cannot handle a warranty claim unless I have a US address. I guess the “lifetime warranty” plastered all over the box is just decoration on the products that are sold in Canada or anywhere else outside of the US.

It seems I now have a paper weight worth over a month of my discretionary income. Don’t be an idiot like me and buy from this company.

All in all it shot well. Put some Hornady match grade ammo and some Hungarian loads through it. My only issue is that the fibre optic rod on the front sight got loose and fell out. Do I just glue it in or is there an actual fix?

Hi all,

Wanted to hear the community's thoughts on this scope. I was planning to get a red dot for the makasi but thought this might be a better option.

My usage will mainly be target shooting at an indoor range.

Hi all, I'm eyeing on this .223 Rem, wondering if it also takes 5.56 NATO? Rumour on internet saying that these .223 Rem guns are labelled this way for import purpose, but it MAY take 5.56 NATO

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we have Canada’s sidearm that was carried all the way up until 2024 when it was fully replaced by the Sig P320 as the sidearm.

I know that some might say that the mags were kinda janky, but TBF, the magazines are pretty old and probably have been used and abused by plenty of people in the CAF. Oh and if any CAF members or vets are in here and you have experience with this pistol, please do share your experiences, because I am willing to hear it out.

Now the Hi-Power arguably is one of the most consistent pistols in history because it’s been around for a long time, and for today’s standards it’s actually held up very well. Back then of course in the Canadian gun market you could buy Hi-Powers until 2022 when the great handgun freeze happened, so yeah there was that. But that’s besides the point. IMO, I think that the Hi-Power served well, and I mean what else is there to say about it? It’s Canada’s main sidearm that officers would carry around, and it served well. Inglis made sure to make plenty of Hi-Powers.

Anyways enjoy!

info if you are in the states with your 6n1a

Hey y’all! Good to see you guys again today! Big question for anyone who has any information, as some is better than none, I am moving to Louisiana in 2028 and being a gun owner in that situation is incredible. However, I want to bring down my current firearms from up here in Canada. I’ve been recommended a few importers and exporters, but consistently I have been directed to Borderview. Has anyone here used them for a move or for importing/exporting a gun? Do you recommend someone else? I’m going to be dealing with a lot of headache with all of the other documents regarding moving permanently, so knowing that there are people who helps with this kind of stuff is good to hear. Please let me know if any of you guys got any info! Have a good day!

Shoutout to the dude who told me it’s pull-ution, not pollution.

Hey all! I'm redoing a cooey .22 rifle from the 50s and look to oil the stock. I saw alkanet oil suggestions and love the way it looks but not getting many hits in Calgary when I google. Does anyone know where I could get this or inquire about it? Seems to be mostly powder when I google and I don't want to risk trying to make my own oil. Truly appreciated if so, as this is a project I'm working on with my dad at the moment and he has waited a long time for this together. TIA!

Ruger American Gen II Scout in 5.56, fresh from IRG. Haven’t fired it yet, but it feels great, right out of the box, and excited to try the scout scope arrangement.

To whomever left all their garbage here, you are a lazy SOB. This was around Harrison East Forest Service Road.

Don't worry, I picked up all your crap and hauled it out.

Be better, don't ruin it for everyone.

Have a set of bags but they are empty and have no filler. Search for fillers turns up either bean bag filler or rice as ideal filler. Would dry play sand work? Only because I have a brand new box of dry play sand sitting in the basement. I have rice too lol. Looking for cheap ideas that won’t be a problem. Don’t plan on getting them wet if that helps.

As title suggests. Missed the ship for handguns and cool oic stuff but want to do .22 handgun exemption (im serious about getting into handgun 25m). Dm if interested.

My dad gave me one of the old .22s we used to shoot, ran it through AI - It’s a Winchester Model 1906 .22 pump-action (slide-action) rimfire rifle, likely made around 1925–1926.  This is a classic American “gallery gun” or plinker/small game rifle from Winchester’s long line of .22 pumps.

Bought my SW 1854 Stealth Hunter recently. Dumped few rounds and suddenly noticed a possible crack.

Not sure if it’s just the spot where the bolt inserts/seats, or if it’s actually cracked.

Please help me take a look😭 Just bought it

Considering one of the cz 457 variants. Ive got a vortex diamondback tactical that i can throw on it. Any considerations on this endeavour? Anybody have experience with these rifles? Cheers.
