Picked this bad boy up recently kicks like a truck.

Just thought it humorous

This time, with a commonwealth era firearm! I know that these are very rare, but it’s still relevant to this day because people have in fact made reproductions of these, and I mean I’m sure someone in Canada has done it before too, it’s in the realm of possibility. Over here in America, Valkyrie Arms and US Armament MFG make reproductions that you can buy yourself so that way you can live your own dream of having one.

But anyways.

This gun is historically significant for the fact that it was just some guy in his shed who was making silencers for his .22’s while he was squirrel hunting, and then later on the British MoD liked what he was doing, and so he made probably the coolest frankengun out there.

He used an SMLE No. 1 MK III, Thompson Submachine Gun Barrel, and a Colt M1911 Magazine, and to top it all off, his giant homemade silencer that he put on top.

.45 ACP is also naturally a subsonic round, and for this situation, it was perfect, it was perfect, down to the last minute detail!

As to who it was issued to? Well from the known sources that I was able to gather, mainly British commandos used them throughout WW2 and Korea, but it also gained one cameo appearance during the Malayan Emergency.

There was a folding stock version of it that existed, but only one known prototype ever existed.

Anyways, thanks for tuning in!

Enjoy!

A bastard with a bastard file and an un-bastardized SKS stock, Bubba will do as bubba does.

An update will follow in the coming weeks

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we got something a bit more… Classic and Italian to say the least.

And if any of y’all have a Turkish clone, don’t worry, you are also welcome here!

This gun doesn’t need a lot of yapping, since it’s an ol’ reliable piece of machinery. The one and only!

Benelli M4!

(Or if you have Turkish clones, Turknellis!)

Enjoy!

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, this time with something very popular in the Canadian gun market that is just a straight up classic.

The Ruger M77

Great Bolt Action Rifle that I haven’t seen much discussion about in a long while, and honestly I get it. The market has become over saturated with a lot of bolt actions to the point where you forget that some have existed for a long time. This is one of them, and they have been in many circles throughout the outdoors world.

Don’t worry guys, I also put a reference to Canada as well, in particular the Yukon Territory! So if anyone from Yukon is reading this, you are very welcome for the shoutout!

The fact that this rifle also has a lot of calibers available for it too is very nice. If you cannot read it clearly, I do apologize for that. Let me enlarge it for you.

.17 HMR,.17 WSM, .22 LR, .22 Mag, .22 Hornet, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .204 Ruger, .22-250 Remington, .223 Remington, .220 Swift, 6mm PPC, 6mm Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x55mm Swedish, 250/3000, .257 Roberts, .25-06 Remington, .260 Remington, .270 Winchester,

7mm-08, 7x57mm Mauser, .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO, .30-06 Springfield, 7.62x39mm, .243 Winchester, .264 Winchester. 270 WSM. 7mm RemMag. 7mm WSM, 300 WinMag, .300 RCM, .300 WSM, .338 WinMag, .35 Whelen, .358 WinMag, .375 H&H Magnum, .404 Jeffery, .416 Ruger, .416 Rigby, .458 WinMag, and .458 Lott

Anyways, enough yapping!

Enjoy!

It’s been a while since I have done a Lever Action, so how about it! Here is a bit of a classic that was made popular by Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and has since become a massive icon. The one and only!

Winchester Model 1887/1901

What’s the difference between the 1887 and 1901?

The 1887 is 12 Gauge and the originals can only shoot black powder 12 Gauge shells, the reproductions however, those can thankfully use smokeless powder.

The 1901 However was made to take Smokeless Powder and is chambered in 10 Gauge shells.

Anyways!

Enjoy!

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we got another popular gun in Canada that was manufactured by Valtro, but now it’s made by Brixia, the PM-5 Shotgun, which is distributed by Savminter Enterprises in Canada.

I know this isn’t the only mag fed shotgun that you can get in Canada, since of course there is the Hawk-97-2, a Chinese 870 clone (Hawk Shotguns are one of the only few New Production Chinese Firearms we can buy in the states since Norinco was banned from importing in here), but the PM-5 is definitely one that is an option.

As for its legality, I don’t know if it is under the prohibited list in Canada, but if any of y’all have any experience with the shotgun, do tell your experiences in the comments!

Anyways, Enjoy!

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post, where today we have a classic Duck Gun that is used for the hunting season. Well at one point in time.

These were sold in Canada at one point in time before they were prohibited. Maybe I am wrong on that one, feel free to correct me if I am wrong. The Benelli M1 Super 90 is just a great shotgun that is a retro classic. You could duck hunt with it, and it also was popular amongst Law Enforcement Units around the world. This also kind of set the standard of what modern Semi-Automatic shotguns should be in design philosophy. They should be robust, reliable, and easy to maintain.

I have actually had the chance to hold one myself, and it’s one dream shotgun that I personally want, mainly for its retro feel. While it’s not manufactured anymore, the legacy of it lives on in the Benelli M2 Shotgun, where it is also inertia driven! I believe those are also available in Canada as well, you can let me know in the comments about that.

Anyways!

Enjoy!

Today is April Fools day, so here’s something special for the subreddit, a Gun that apparently never truly existed other than prototypes. The one and only!

Baikal MP-412 REX!

Enjoy!

Sometimes we go on adventures. My apologies for lack of blister feet pics.

308 winchester AP!

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet ANOTHER Gun Appreciation Post!

Today we got a lil’ something from one of the Commonwealth members that often gets forgotten about with their firearms industry, I mean they have created some of the wackiest things out there that are pretty innovative. This also was the predecessor to the Kel Tec KSG with its double tube layout.

That’s right, we have the one and only!

Truvelo NeoStead 2000

Enjoy!

I should start this off with I'm based out of Lethbridge, Alberta. the ol lady and I want to do some spur of the moment camping because I work a really shitty schedule. looking for some recommendations that we can drive out and camp for a night or 2 and bring the .22 and the .357 and get her shooting some cans(obviously cleaning up and leaving it like nobody was ever there). she hates shooting at the range because of other people and we both love camping so I figured that would be a fair compromise. I figured this would be a good post to make in this thread over another and have everyone tell me guns aren't allowed.

The downside of using plated bullets in class is that after a few years, all the copper gets worn off. Old vs new.

Upside: the 45 is an actual jacketed bullet so it'll last a good long while, but the 38 is just a CamPro plated.
