Hi,

I was asking r/ontariocamping how to find crown land to camp and ended up building a free map from all the feedback. One comment stuck with me: crown land is a working landscape, and you should know what else is going on — forestry, and hunting seasons by WMU.

So I added hunting. It shows crown land where hunting is an authorized use, WMU boundaries, and posted signs where I have them.

let me know your thoughts, before the hunting season starts so I can improve

feel free to turn on private land, WMU, etc.

Hey everyone!
Currently shoot trap/skeet with a beretta 686 SP, looking to upgrade.
Nothing wrong with the gun, ready to hand down to family member looking to get started.
Currently looking at around the 6-8k for budget.
Not opposed to used.
Which models would you recommend shouldering and which stores are a must to check out? Located in Ontario
Thanks!

I messaged through to Dan at Brigade Manufacturing on Instagram (@brigademfg) to point out the manual for the Makasi still needed to have the suppressed/unsuppressed settings on the gas system corrected, and they fixed it! The corrected manual can be found at https://brigadefirearms.com/pub/media/wysiwyg/MAKASI_Manual.pdf , with the manual link on their web page pointing to the correct version.

Do I have to view or respond to the emails I get about Individual Web Services from the RCMP?

I am having trouble signing in and would rather not if its not required

I’m have a budget about 1-2k and looking for a antique handgun with cheap ammo to use indoor range. I’m open for recommendations

Glock 17 MOS Gen 4

Vz.61 Škorpion .32 Auto

Hey guys, had my pal for about a year now, really want to get more into shooting
I live in uxbridge, I see there’s uxbridge clays, but it seems pricey (if there is value there I’m open to it)
Would love to join a club that allows rifles but I’d be okay with shotgun only. Anyone recommend any clubs that will take new members without a sponsor?

Also any clubs that will allow you to show up as a visitor and shoot?

Thanks

Favorite pump by far. I also have the retrograde. Filmed with meta glasses.

Is it normal for the 10rd mags to hold 11 rounds? I was spacing out while loading and realized I had loaded 22 rounds in my two 10rd mags. Are anyone else’s magazines like this? I didn’t have to use any noticeable extra force or anything. I’ve always usually loaded only 10 and only realized tonight.

I took my new Rayban Meta Gen 2 sunglasses to the range to shoot trap tonight. Recording results were a disappointment because you can not record on a straight line of site down your barrel.

I didn’t bring my handguns out to try…. Will do that another time.

Hey all,

I just got my PAL and snagged a gorgeous Benelli Nova 3 HD (used but basically new) for $500, and I have absolutely zero idea what products I need to clean/lubricate this thing.

I looked at some forums but they're all 20+ years old and recommend disconnected products, but I keep seeing "CLP" popping up. What are some good recommendations for cleaning/regular maintenance for this shotgun/in general?

I should mention that I have a Huntshield all-in-one cleaning kit, so bore brushes and mops aren't an issue at the moment, unless there's a specific material I should use/avoid that I need to be aware of?

Thanks!!

So we all know there are mixed reviews on the Makasi. Some people say it’s a great rifle, while others say it’s a “180 cope gun.” As someone who has pre-ordered one, I’m definitely a little nervous.

On a more positive note, maybe we can put together a list of upgrades that could improve the platform?

For a possible handguard upgrade, I’ve seen that the VLTOR CASV-EL may be a good fit.

From my understanding, the barrel can be replaced with an AR-15 carbine barrel with some modification.

The dreaded oversized pin that seems to fall out also looks like it could be replaced fairly easily.

Does anyone have any other ideas to improve the platform? The bones seem solid, and with quite a bit of AR compatibility, I think there’s a lot of potential here.

TLDR: What parts can we list to improve the Makasi, besides the obvious easy AR-15 upgrades.

picked up a TM22 pro after my pal came in recently, ran 600 rounds of ammo through it yesterday and only had one fail to feed! very impressed with it.

i got a magpul foregrip, 15 round magazine and a feyachi scope / laser combo. just want a faux suppressor and a better looking 25 round magazine next lol.

thinking of getting a mossberg shockwave 590s next

Hypothetically if a person were to modify a pump action rifle receiver that uses an AR magwell to fit MRX mags would that be legal? If so would modifying the magazine to have only one set of fins and modifying the rifles’ magwell to fit the one set of fins be legal?

Just bought a used troy par 223 2nd gen and seem to be missing 1 of the 3 rail pieces, could anyone tell me where i can get one quickly or a 3d printed alternative?

I’m a bit of an old soul and like to shoot trap with a 16ga sxs. It’s expensive though and I’m a young guy with no money. Anyone know where I can find it in bulk? Most crates I’m able to find are 12ga. Thanks. Southern Ontario

Good evening,

I recently had an out of battery discharge in my TM22 and I wanna get the barrel inspected before I do anything else with the gun. I tried running a ram rod through it with a brush and it comes to a hard stop, even though the barrel has no visual obstructions (but I can see some sort of deformation in the barrel).

Are there any gunsmiths in the Ottawa area besides the Gun Medic and Gunco? I used to go to That Hunting store but it seems they don’t offer that service anymore.

Talk me out of buying this rifle in 6.5 creedmoor with a 24 inch barrel. It's nearly $3k.

Looking for something 99% range use that I can take hunting maybe one or two times. I've never been hunting before but want to try it out. Main use will be as a target gun at 300 yards or less. I have another range nearby that goes out to 800, but I am not a member. I want to print holes in paper close together. My other guns are an sks, MRA renegade, shotgun, and 22s.

I want to get into reloading but have no setup yet. I will put some sort of $1k-$1.5k ffp optic on this.

My main concerns are:

- price. I wanted the regular hmr, but it's out of stock everywhere and has been for over 2 months. I know I get more for my money with the pro, but is it worth it?

- calibre. Given I want to reload, won't likely go past 300 yards, and might hunt, do I get a 308 instead? These only come in 20 inch barrels. Seems like a waste also to put a 308 into a target rifle chassis, etc like the pro provides. A regular hmr in 308 might make sense.

- What about tikka? I know their actions are smooth, but I've also heard great things about the Bergara hmr pro's. Rem 700 vs tikka systems, mag compatibility, etc. Not like the t3x CTR is in stock anywhere either.

You are me. What do you do?

I am building a bubba'd jungle carabine a bit like the picture and i was wondering if anybody has tried the Lee enfield pro mags ? I'd like some opinions before buying some

Before people start throwing rocks at me i purchased it for cheap and restored it, it's nice enough to keep but not collector enough to sell it for a profit and i can't see my target past 50 yards with iron sight because of my mole rat vision

Hi, hope youre all doing great.

My last post here was asking on advice on whether to buy my buddy's sks or not. Apparently the sale didnt go through and he got an outrageous offer for it and sold it off.

Ever since that, i have been looking to get my hands on an sks.

Dont care if it gets banned anymore. A classic canadian staple and ill be buying it regardless only if i can get my hands on one.

Have been out of luck in New brunswick trying to get one for sub 1200$ . Was looking at firearms outlet and saw multiple still in stock.

Need recommendations/ reviews of the ones you guys and gals already own and the ones to STAY AWAY FROM BUYING.

Even if do get one, itll be very hard to check it in person as ill be trying to get her shipped all around canada. So please guide me on where to buy(already know gunpost and townpost) and which model to buy.

Thanks a ton in advance.

P.S: was willing to get the ATI stock one in the picture as a last resort.

Both holes made by the same gun. 45ACP FMJ round nose, and lead semi-wadcutter.

UPDATE: 201 stores confirmed as of August 7.

I've attached a table ranking provinces and territories (NWT being an outlier for obvious reasons) by the percentage of Canadian Tires in that region that stock firearms. I've also attached views of key areas like southern Ontario/Quebec, the Lower Mainland, the Calgary-Edmonton corridor, Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba, and Atlantic Canada. Up-to-date interactive view can be found here (deselect the other categories of retailers).

Additionally, you can view a spreadsheet embedded on my site listing exactly which stores are mapped and which aren't.

Stores were verified by calling and asking their sports desk or store managers if that location stocked firearms (yes I called every Canadian Tire in Toronto proper to make sure I didn't miss a hidden gem).

IMO, Quebec's low percentage of CTs that stock guns can be partially explained by the prevalence of Pronatures, Ecotones, and other retailers outside Montreal proper. Though I'd imagine the additional hassle of having to register every long gun sold in the province is another factor deterring franchise owners from stocking firearms. Considering that, I'd say 26% is actually pretty decent.

Removing Ontario and Quebec from the equation, you'd get just under 53% of Canadian Tires nationwide stocking guns.

Please let me know if anything has changed (a CT I didn't map actually does carry guns or vice-versa, etc).
