Since so much has been banned I wanted to try something new and ask y'all about dewats. Anyone own them? Or hate them? I can imagine we might get a lot of dewat AR's come october of this year (since they were originally registered). Better that than handed in.

Just curious what r/canadaguns thinks about that category of "non-firearms" in general.

I am looking to buy a Mosin 91/30, and I came across an ad on GunPost for one in supposedly good condition for $900.

$900 is much too high for a standalone rifle, but the listing includes 375 rounds of ammo.

The total price seems reasonable considering the ammunition, even though the rifle itself would be expensive on its own.

I have read a few comments here mentioning that this particular seller tends to overprice their items, so I wanted to see what others think?

For around $669 CAD for the rifle plus $230 CAD for the ammo, is this a fair price or is it overpriced?

What do Canadian Mosin experts think?

I have a left shoulder injury from playing adult football as offensive tackle, but still managed to pull off this fully bolt action run with S&B 150gr sp loadings. I had to admin rim lock at one point rapidly before closing the bolt since I noticed the rims overlapping wrong way before slamming home the bolt.

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, where today we have a gun once available in Canada in small numbers before eventually being prohibited.

Today we have the Beowulf!

.50 Beowulf is an interesting cartridge because it was originally designed to take out an engine block, but the funny thing is that the cartridge found its own cult following for people who go hog hunting.

It’s also appealing for those who live up in Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut as they all gotta worry about bears and need something for bear defense. The amount of punch that the .50 Beowulf Cartridge delivers is enough for that.

In the states, one of the appeals we have for it is that it is a straight wall cartridge, and some states have hunting laws that only allow you to hunt with straight wall cartridges and not bottlenecked ones.

Anyways enjoy!

AAG has a couple no5 enfields which i am looking for. I had never heard of them before ans wondered if anyone has ordered from them before? TIA

I bought a refurbed ‘43 pu mosin for 2k. The scope serial number a large b number, so probably made in 44. Mag plate force matched, otherwise all matching. Is this overpriced in todays market?

I found this is a trunk while doing some organizing I forgot I even had it. If I remember correctly it was brought home by either my grandfather or great grandfather after the finished their service.

Got this very nice Russian Berdan II at auction last weekend. I'd been looking for a nice complete example for years, most of the ones in Canada have had the chambers drilled and plugged for some reason. This one still had the original blueing around the chamber area so I knew it was unmolested.

This parts-complete example was made at Izhevsk in 1883, it still shows a lot of the original blueing with handling marks but the bore looks brand new and it has the correct post russo-turkish war front and rear volley sights. Other than the bolt, which is also Izhevsk made, it is all matching. I found it pretty cool that the stock channel has the matching serial handwritten in graphite.

Out with some norinco 7.62x51..

Pretty decent stuff, goes bang, no ftf.

My ruger gunsite had light strikes with this stuff.

I have No.4, but not the battle dress etc. Etc.

I think the cost of a kit is vaguely 1k and that is the major barrier, I'd probably do Loyal Edmonton Regiment. I had a family member KIA battle of Rimini and I've been planing a lecture for a while after getting my goalie mask done here to explain it.

I've done a awful lot of reading though war diarys and stuff the last few months around it. I novelly been using ai tools of notebook lm to scan though sorces materials as well.

I just still haven't figured out scripting and recording it.

I was having imput often from my closest online buddy who is a retired US Army Sergeant: he was motormen, tanker, and armorer, combat veteran to Iraq. Incredibly storied individual and invaluable going though this sometimes.

A local pawn shop has a heavily sporterized Kar 98 for 575$ and I've wanted a Kar 98 my whole life but even sporterized I never find them and when I do find complete original ones they're like 2k$ not talking about other variants but German made ww2 Mausers do you guys think that's a fair price?

Sometimes you just have to make your own chassis for a sks.. first prototype and no where near perfect but getting close to where I want it 😅

Here’s my family photo. You can see how my retrograde turned out! Very nice grain structure, believe it’s walnut.

I was wondering whether it is legally possible in Canada to modify a deactivated firearm for an art or display project, provided that none of the parts involved in the original deactivation are touched or reversed.

For example, if a firearm has already been properly deactivated to Canadian standards, with documentation, would it still be lawful to make cosmetic or structural changes such as cutting or shortening the barrel, replacing the stock, changing furniture, or attaching external hardware, as long as the modifications do not restore function or interfere with the welded, blocked, pinned, or otherwise deactivated components?

This is assuming they didn’t hand it in to local law enforcement and they never sent it back to north sylva for a full refund. Is anyone still fighting this in court?

Took the Ol’ Enfield out

Visited the Easter Arms Show here in Calgary today, left with this old girl. Eddystone M1917, Canadian marked! Haggled down the gentleman from $800 to $700 and I honestly feel bad about it... Looking forward to some good shooting with her this summer!

Hey guys, so I recently came into a pretty large amount of money. And I’m following the financially responsible path of investing in low risk moderate return mutual funds and dividend stocks in my TFSA

… Is what I’d say if I was a NERD

Anyways, I’ve decided what I need most in my life is a M76 Valmet in 7.62x39, I’d maybe (maybe) settle for one in .223 but idk. I love the look of them and I think they’re beautiful firearms.

What I’m wondering is what the typical market value is for them right now. I’m also curious of how that has changed over the past few years, have they gone up (IE can I justify this as a good investment) or have they remained largely stagnant?

I know these things are like ultra rare, and finding one to begin with is probably the greater concern than affording it, but yeah. How much do they typically go for?

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post.

Today we have the one and only! HK-416! Or in Canada with the known civilian model. The MR223, over here in the US we call it the MR556, but nonetheless it is the same rifle with just a different name.

Anyways. This was available in Canada and was a pretty popular expensive rifle, and it’s what I like to call the Generic Special Forces Rifle, the Right Arm of NATO, and the rifle where she is All You Need!

I mean anyone can gloat about this rifle all day.

Enjoy everyone!

Looking to see if you know of any good gunsmiths around the GTA to get a Mossberg CBC 715T deactivated, I’d much rather hang it up than give it in for destruction.

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another gun appreciation post, this time with the UMP series, or as it was sold, the HK USC PCC.

Many of you probably have played many video games and fell in love with these guns, so how about we compile them into a post for ya. IMO, the UMP series is okay as an SMG and PCC, sure it’s got some issues, but at the same time, it definitely deserves love.

Anyways, thanks and enjoy!

Picked up this crate for an absolute steal. Far cheaper than anything I was able to find on the online sites.

There may be a lot of over priced stuff on there but sometimes you find a diamond in the rough.

Does this qualify for a milsurp tag?
